Not bad, not great, just kind've alright. Combat is pretty awful since the AI is only sort've aware of anything. I spent most of my time shooting folks in the back because they were busy shooting at someone completely oblivious to being shot at.
You walk around a desert, which looks cool, and collect water and some stuff to help your specimen grow(it's a flower) so you can get to a Sanctuary and drop it off. You constantly lose water so the open-world aspect of the game feels far more linear and closed off, as you simply don't have the kind of time you might expect to fully explore it.
I don't really know what else to say. There seemed to be a huge problem in the beginning where trying to walk forward kept hitting invisible walls, and this would happen after jumping and some other times. It was strange. Anyway, game's alright. Short, and well priced for what you get.

short but good, felt Isolation, desperation, anxiety, and this game is just to simple. The ending feels as tough as the road feels like
