There is so much to love with this game... to be honest, I would have dropped the game after a few days, as there are some seriously Game Crashing Bugs out there (ie. sudden corrupted save checkpoints, missing Mudokons, Hidden walls etc) that borders the line of UNPLAYABLE.
...and yet: I funnily persevered and 100% the game.
The answer is simple:- its interesting dark narrative, that is coupled with some of the most industrial dingy dark music hooks you immediately as soon as it starts. The characters development is sincerely deep and enough to make you empathise - even with the bad guys. There are so many memorable scenarios that in my opinion made my jaw drop with awe! The Epic Scale in 2.5D, the twisted narrative on slavery and capitalism, artistic nods to HR Giger and Zdislaw Beksincy and animation so lovingly detailed..
I can go on at how great this game is, if it were not for the game crashing Bugs....Lost count of the times I was teetering the edge of giving up the game, but because of the above I saw it through.
...That justifies the 3 Stars.
Do Consider buying the game to support the developers; Mr. Lorne Lanning and the team outdid themselves, and deserve praise...Trust me you will Enjoy the game!
I just hope that they consider making the sequel with LESSER BUGS! :(
