From Space Review (ChocobonSquall)
Feels like an unfinished game.
You get all the weapons, perks and items after the 1st or second level and that's it, nothing new to discover for the remaining 80% of the game. Not to mention the enemies get way harder... like bullet sponge level and you have no way of increasing your ammo. 1 enemy can take 22 point blank, fully upgraded shotgun blasts to the face before it dies and you're facing dozens of enemies at a time. With a max of about 100 shotgun ammo, do the math. Emptying 3-4 mags in one enemy when there's dozens more to take care of isn't fun. especially when you can only carry like 8 mags worth of ammo.
Missions are boring and uninspired, fetch quests, switch quests, hunt quests and awful escort quests made worst by awful AI that seems to get itself killed on purpose by walking on damage ground that stays active way too long, Just stop making escort quests please. I've never played a fun escort quest, ever. Just stop.
The length and difficulty is artificial. The quests just yoyo you from one place to the other on huge maps and the enemies never stop respawning. Every quest is like "Go to the other end of the map, flip a switch and come back. Okay good, now escort me back to where I just sent you. Okay good, now go back to the beginning and go get me some supplies from the other end of the map." It's just boring. The maps are also like mazes where everything blends in together so it's hard to see what's preventing you from moving when there's tons of flashy enemies and effects going off everywhere.
The "Loot" they mention is just the same items and perks and guns over and over again, most if which you can't pick up because your inventory will be full like 90% of the time.
Leveling up is basically useless. You get more item, gun and perk slots sometimes. You dodge further, get more stamina and health. Nothing to break up the monotony of the game.
The game really sucks towards the end where you don't have enough ammo to take out the boss so you just kite all the bullet sponge adds until the ammo boxes respawn to then go hit the boss but the mobs get in the way most of the time so only about 5% of your limited ammo actually goes towards damaging the boss so you kite more until the ammo respawns and repeat. It sucks.
This game was fun for the first hour, but then it gets boring real quick.
And good lord the buffer enemy that keeps spamming the buff CONSTANTLY every 2 seconds even when not in combat is annoying as hell. Sounds like an eagle and he just doesn't stop.
Boring repetitive gameplay.
Small number of weapons with underwhelming upgrades.
Small number of items.
Small number of underwhelming perks.
Boring uninspired quests/missions that take you back and forth along unnecessarily huge maps.
Only a few different types of enemies that become bullet sponges towards the end.
