A good CRPG for its modest budget. Liked the companions and the main story while taking some predictable turns remained enjoyable for the most part, seems like there is a decent variety of outcomes, will probably replay it with couple more builds to see how things play out with different choices and I want to see what passing some skillchecks does, unlike modern CRPGs you can't use party members to pass them, gotta do most of them yourself. There is definitely an intent for you to play some specific builds like INT with high biotech skill. Can't say for sure that all build options are equally interesting and rewarding but a rather simpleminded "All points in Quickness" basic gunslinger with just enough Charisma to get two etiquettes: corporate and shadowrunner, still was satisfying on the first playthrough. Just don't take Socialite, seen like one etiquette check involving it through the whole game and it was just for a bit extra money, stick to something like Security or Academic instead. On an additional note, I couldn't help finding the epilogue of the main story a bit underwhelming. You make the final choice, go back to your home, talk about it with your crew and then get a bit of extra context on what transpired and what's gonna happen from couple very important (in a setting, not narrative, that is) NPCs before getting a text epilogue that tells about the several events in the future, some of them probably an outcome of your decisions throughout the game. And that's it. I guess the underwhelming part is a natural outcome of the narrative framing, you get dragged into this deadly grand mystery and resolving it is the only way to survive but you don't really have any other motivation, at best to avenge an NPC who dies in the prologue and another NPC who dies in the middle of the game. So while your involvement is narratively justified, the personal stakes you and your companions have don't feel interesting? No matter how well you furnish it with dialogues "Phew, that was quite something. Glad we survived. What do we do now?" is still something lacking oomph, at least for me.
