👍 Strengths

87 reviews find it fun and hard to put down, and some say the loot and gun modding loop works well solo or with a small squad. 19 praise the eerie atmosphere and world, with temporal anomalies and maps that build tension during exploration. Story & World ranks 870th of 1096. 17 like the pixel art style and setting, and a few enjoy the retro cutscenes and animation. Multiplayer ranks 436th of 642.

👎 Where it falls short

Gameplay appears in 65% of reviews and ranks 1334th of 1396. 46 criticize the controls and interface, citing poor visibility, doorways that snag movement, unsatisfying melee and limited hotkey options. 40 say the game explains too little, leaving the inventory, armor and merchants confusing for new players. 33 find progression slow and frustrating, with scarce experience, storage that fills quickly and a punishing weight system. Tech & Support ranks 1107th of 1399, and Content Volume ranks 1020th of 1351.
