Often I'll move my three characters and then watch five enemies move up and do nothing, but their turns take twice as long as one of mine, as if the AI has to THINK about what it's doing, or the game's loading things needlessly. Not just the story and learning things, but the gameplay loop. My biggest gripe with the game is how slow it is. You're going to read a lot of stuff that explains nothing while playing a game that features a meager three classes against about twenty or so enemies from the length of the bestiary at the start, and everything takes far too long to be enjoyable. It sounds really neat, but the problem is in the presentation. There's an incomprehensible plot about the ravings of a lunatic and a pandemic and some supernatural otherworld stuff. There's creepy flesh monsters you kill in one swing that are only annoying because of how many the game throws at you for no reason. There's nothing scary in the first several hours, if anything at all. The game's problems start with this description going around. you get three classes that may as well negate the whole permadeath thing, dialogue that gets repeated over and over and over and says literally nothing ("When will their suffering end?" I dunno, lady, but you've said that at EVERY LOADING SCREEN FOR THE PAST FOUR HOURS.) and a difficulty curve that makes Xcom look like Skyrim. ![]() The art direction is top-notch, the story they drip to you sounds interesting, and I think this would all play out super well in an action game starring the "Mother" character you get to mess with during the tutorial. A lot of the reviews here will say the same things, and that's because they're pretty much spot on.
