My favorite game so far

Developer went to prison 10/10

Likes: Game has optional side objectives, secrets, multiple entry points, a detailed stealth system like in Splinter Cell, has takedowns and funny but not overindulgent dialogue. It encourages some backtracking. Parkour is here and you can wall ride. Dislike: Collision detection is broken, you can cheese through the game by crouch jumping through cracks and clip through walls and fall to your death, there's a reason this game is in early access. Some items you get by backtracking you sometimes get anyway later in the level, in the first prison level you could go back with the sergeant's keycard and get armor, or just continue on through the level and collect it after you go through the cargo lift and after the zero g section. What's the point? This design discourages players to find secrets.

TLDR: What is there of the game is great, brilliant even. Combat is challenging but enjoyable, movement is a dream. The only downside is that the content is limited, for now. Game plays like a dream, reminds me of the great classics, systemshock, OG deus ex, even a little spark of the original Half-life. I really enjoy it, I think anyone how enjoys the games I listed will enjoy it too. The sole Dev is currently in jail, unfortunate but that is what it is. From what they've said they're down for a 3 year sentence. Now i don't know what county they're from or if there's a prospect of them getting out early for good behaviour or somthing like that. What I do know is that whats there now is worth the price, and if you're okay with the story being left unfinished then I'd highly recommend you consider giving the game a try. Best case the Dev gets out and continues to make something great, Worst case the game stops development here and you'll have a great but unfinished game to enjoy.

Made me irrationally angry and yet I still completed it... Like a year after I first bought it. I completed maybe like 10% of the content, got lost, let it sit there for a couple of months, came back and finished it in two days.

In it's current state the game is wonderful, though the next update won't be for another 3 years as a result of the main dev going to jail. I'm down to wait 3 years for the next update, hope the devs are doing well! Overall I definitely recommend getting the game, just for the first level alone, easily got 5 hours of gameplay on my first (fortune's) run through the space station.
