I read somewhere that this game was like playing an episode of Star Trek, so it got me a little excited. However it didn’t take long before I was disappointed.
First of all, the game is not optimized for AMD, at all. There are several reports on the Steam forums regarding issues with this game and AMD. The developers did reply on a few posts, saying they were looking into it, but that is over a year ago now. I think they have moved on to other games.
I tend to like RPGs where you can read books, tablets, holograms, what have you, in order to get more details about the story and the world you are in. But in this game (which is not a real RPG), it got tedious. Now, you don’t HAVE to read anything in order to play the game, but if you want to get anything out of it, you should. The “problem” is that there is simply too much information. There is too much to read on the computers in the game. It gets kinda boring.
If we overlook the AMD issues, the graphics are OK. I think the publisher is really small with a low budget.
Conclusion: If you like to read books, then maybe the game is for you.
