Gameplay Stats: Base game completed, 20 hours, 10/31 achievements
Man. I wanted to like this game. Everyone I've talked to liked this game. But I don't think it was for me. I enjoyed the mystery and the lore of the game, but I think that the long stretches between discovering the new interesting tidbits was pretty boring. It was essentially a walking simulator game but with extra grit in the movement, it seemed unnecessary to me.
Visually I think the game looked great! I really loved the couple of songs that were in the game. Getting to hear the theme with different instruments as you ask the others to play or tune them in on your signalscope was neat. But I wish there was more. A different theme for each planet would've been nice. The alien race you are a part of seems to take music seriously, why not a walkman?
I guess overall my feelings are: strong aesthetics, very good story, wish there was more music, and weak gameplay. If the game didn't take me 20 hours to complete I think I would've enjoyed it much more.
