Bought this as wanted to support the guys that made Bulletstorm and GoW Judgement, both excellent experiences. This one...not so much. Total disappointment. It combines the worst aspects of a walking sim with a terrible save system. Hey Astronauts, there's no point to a Dark Souls/Destiny-like save system in a WALKING SIM. All you're forcing people to do is walk the same paths again and again. There's no reward, no real interaction.

Your character just walks around clicking at stuff and listening to the odd voice/plot expo. The map is indeed huge, but it's also quite empty and just leads to frustration. And again, the save system is broken. When it says "saving scene", if you quit and restart, you will not be where it was supposed to save.

Yes, the visuals are quite nice, but there's very regular stutter on my PC, which is running this on high with 2XMSAA. Most of the time framerate is smooth, but it'll stutter regularly when loading new areas in the background i suppose.

In short, a big big letdown. Part of the risk of supporting the industry, but still a shame. 4/10
