Right, so this game has been a controversial mess, but here is a comprehensive review without all the BS, on why you should not buy the game.

So the game play itself is a lot like inquisition, there are a few changes but it plays pretty much the same.

One of the main issues however is that the game does try and shove political agenda down your throat at every turn. (There is even a scene where your specifically ask if you want to make your character a transgender of some sort, not at character creation no, this is literally a required part of the game you can't skip).

This kind of thing exists all throughout the game, and it seriously ruins the immersion, not because it is there but because there is no reason for it to be where it is, and from a story perspective, it makes 0 sense and was clearly put there "just" to virtue signal and force the player to experience it.

Beyond that, the game is a bit on rails. Yes you can run around some and explore, and the game does reward you for this, however in general, its kind of like Zelda where the play through is concerned, with puzzles, etc and items you need to progress the game through to get in order to access certain area which you found earlier on but couldn't get through. (This is in fact something I liked about the game).

Your choices after several play through's I found to be meaningless. Yes there are 3 different endings, and your choices do add up to select one or the other of them, however the actual game play is very linear and your choices rarely have any effect at all and when they do the consequences are mediocre to nill effect on the story. So basically you can make choices, but in general they are meaningless with no effect on the story or in game, it roles out the same or very close to the same no matter what you decide to do. There are a VERY FEW choices which have actual impacts on the story, but these are very few and VERY far between.

Character Creation is in depth, but again this is one of those areas where it was clear the developers were obviously wanting you to play a trans character or an LGBTQ character. All of the presets fro both men and women look like either Gay men, or Women that look like they are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and the faces you have to choose from (all of them in the selection) were clearly not designed by a dev and were placed there by someone hitting the "Randomize key". (You all know what I mean by this). It's tragic, and abysmal and shows obvious laziness.

Yes, you can customize your character to look like a decent male, and Female.

Graphics are nice.
Game play movement and combat is decent.
Voice acting is sub par for this series and studio.

The story line itself is ... well... Meh. It's not the worst, but it's definitely not the best, and I would not call it good. A lot of things are not explained and much of the time your basically just "Going with it". The writers were obviously lazy, and when you add the forced political PC bs, it just becomes absolute cringe.

The last thing, and this might be the most important, has nothing to do with the game itself, but the moderators of the forums, and the studio itself. They constantly abuse their powers and delete any thread which seems to point out valid criticisms, and if you mention anything about the PC in the game or ask about it, they immediately Perma ban your account from posting.

The studio has clearly hired mods to censor the forums, rather then manage it, and when I put a ticket in about abuse of power, the CS who responded was essentially like "Get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Trump Lover, Your Pedo President can't control this game". (This is literally what they replied to me in the ticket.) I was banned from the forums for asking if the studio had responded to all the complains about the Forced PC in the game, and if they were going to address it. Which is why I put the ticket in for the mod abusing the power.

It's not a bad game itself, but you really need to ask yourself if you want to support this kind of behavior from a studio before you buy it.
