I started off enjoying the game but the longer you play the more shallow it feels. There's very little variance in perks and even the way you allocate attributes making most characters feel the same. The story is bland and uninteresting. Companions are forgettable and outside of maybe one or two moments lack real interactivity with the story, the player, and the world in general. I encountered a bug every 2-3 hours of my playthrough most of which were game-breaking. I could have tolerated the bugs but partner them with the terrible optimization and having to reload/restart just to sit through a long loading screen became a hassle. I liked the x-com feel to the combat but even that was subpar due to poor level design. The ending was probably the biggest let down as it was anti-climactic. I even tried going back to a previous save to try another ending and that was somehow much worse than the first. I'm not understanding the hype
