I've been trying the game after getting the demo, a week ago.
Put simply, I hate adventure/puzzle games.
I also hate games largely relying on special case design.
It is a typical PC game.
But this one really has an unique take on the staples, and I was desperate when seeing this game not get more reviews. I was looking for some different stuff to play, and remembered that one which really intrigued me some time ago, so I went back and made the purchase.
It is not an action game in any sense of word, so to enjoy it, you need to relax, play it alone.
What really convinced me to buy it came when I had to drive that robot in the demo.
It was a very primitive machine, compared to the legions of mechs and spider stuff you usually get in your average game. There, it was nothing more than a square box on four wheels and most basic mechanical arm.
And it was incredible, using the cameras to move it around, it really created a whole solid and realistic sensation.
Again, it's a good thing that this game gets a review. From what I've seen in the demo, it really deserves to be explored.
The user interface appears to be "cumbersome", but it's just a question of getting used to it, which happens rather fast, and it could have not been made differently.
You can be sure that many other studios would have gone with those wizbang flashy CSI-style interfaces and whatever rubbish that looks cool but makes no sense, but here, its austerity and logic adds an immense level of credibility to the situation and the mood, all the better for the immersion.
The whole game mechanic breaks the fourth wall altogether in a nuclear fashion.
