So much potential that just didn't quite make it.
But in the end, I felt really disappointed.
The main problem is that this world is so interesting, but the system was so pointless. I found very quickly I didn't give a hoot WHAT powers I selected, or what weapons I had. It didn't really matter. I just ran around and pummeled everything to death with big solid hand to hand weapons.
You really don't need anything else. I couldn't find any reason to GO ON. I completed it, but I didn't get any of that feeling of accomplishment you get at discovery and personal growth I usually get in an RPG. Ooooh, new weapon, power, unlockable, or whatever. This makes the whole experience rather vanilla. Sneak up on enemy, hit them real hard, rinse, repeat. Why am I still doing this?
Well, I DID like the world, and I wanted to see how things ended. But, while the plot was decent, but didn't knock me over. I got dragged in, but didn't feel satisfied in the end.
Overall, I was pretty let down by this game when I really wanted to love it. It was worth the money though, and I definitely plan to try the sequel.
