I enjoyed this game. I will start with my one gripe; being that there is no FOV slider. Not a dealbreaker by any means as base FOV is around 80.

Gunplay is very good, without spoiling any of the included tools most of them feel great aside from one found quite later into the game that is mediocre at best. Things do feel weighty, which does add to the sort of effect the combat has. I love the melee fighting, it does satisfy me - especially the abilities included with each weapon.

A great thing about these weapon systems is the amount of variation in terms of modifications that change the way a gun or other tool works. A decent bit of variety is included in the weapons and the way you build them, which also changes them all visually. I appreciate that point a lot. I should also add that the collection process for things like materials is relatively painless - and can be pretty satisfying, too.

In terms of overall gameplay, I would consider this game more of a linear experience than not. I think fixating on something like a game being linear and deciding to play on that would be unwise, because this game also includes a modestly but fruitfully sized open world section that takes form of a vehicle for players to get their upgrades and stock up on resources - as well as kick some ass. Each section that plays a part in story progress will be more or less a linear collection of combat and actually satisfying puzzles.

The story is more or less faint for a good portion of the game. It is there, it won't hound you, and it did provoke thought which I find important in a game. Things naturally ramp up as time goes on, of course - I would say it definitely helps back player action.

Overall, I would say this experience was one I was glad to have. Not a needed one, perhaps, but one that I enjoyed all the way through and one that exposed me to different styles and systems that I really haven't participated in or experienced before.
