Every time I start liking this game, it does something to tick me off. It has redeeming qualities and they pulled off some pretty nice technical advancements to make this all happen. Its not enough however. I've been trying to play it through calmly forever. Quit for two years. Thought I'd try again.

It's always something else though. Hitching graphics, t-pose AI running around, flat out bugs, goofy UI that is hard to navigate and use, always something. Then, I find out that there is absolutely no way to skip dialogue and cut scenes, so when you get in a spot where you have to restart a mission, you have to go through all that slow, meandering, delay-filled conversations that you no longer care about.

I wouldn't recommend buying this even on discount. It will just make you salty.

Update: Tried to play it again and see if the updates improved things. Turns out it won't even start now because my second card that I use for the other monitor doesn't do ray tracing. Nice job. Hot garbage on a new level.

Update 1.5yrs later:
