I got this on Epic, and the first thing that happens is they ask to link to your Epic account to get some personal information. If you hit no, the game just stops responding, as if they couldn't conceive people wouldn't want to give them their personal information so they didn't even program it to handle that. So you have to say yes to play the game. It is just a bunch of puzzles with almost no gameplay built around it. What attempt at worldbuilding there is is mostly annoying unskippable bits that seem irrelevant to the rest of the game. There also isn't any explanation of the scoring system.
The visuals are good and the story story is fairly interesting; Blizzard as usual is good at making cinematics. The combat is fairly boring and the itemization isn't very interesting. Sigils are annoying to manage so nightmare dungeons are a more annoying way to do rifts. Enemies do fake telegraphing, they will hit you even if you aren't in the indicated area. Maybe that has to do with the high latency there usually appears to be. Dungeons and cellars seem copy and pasted, and every single dungeon event somehow involves some friends who got seperated. Friends need to stop going into dungeons together. The mount is usually super slow for about 5 seconds after mounting. The game will freeze my entire computer for 5-20 seconds fairly often.
Was bored right off the bat. Skipped the tutorial and decided to just give it a go and see if the game was more interesting. Built a lumber yard and the tree collectors and it said and connected them to existing road. The assistant never would recognize that I connected them to the lumber yard with the roads and advance to the next things. At this point I just gave up on it. Also it took a very long time to load in the first place, and for some reason popped up a website asking Epic for personal information.
Bought it on Steam at some point, probably on sale. Of course I have a backlog so it look a while to get around to playing it. They have since changed the system requirements so I can't even run it.
Doesn't work at all. First it says there is no sound and I need to install something from 2010 that I supposedly don't have, then it says it can't save and asks if I want to continue anyway, and if I say yes it says signout detected and goes back to the menu screen.
It says right click to defend, I right click and they don't hold up the shield. A little later there is some token on the card and it says i should find it (even though it is right there in the open) so I click on it to see what happens, and it skips through the text before i read it, and there is no back button. Also can't see extra items in inventory without clicking every single slot to see what alternate items there are. This much **** in the first 2 mintes and I am just done with it.
I don't remember all of the annoyances at the beginning of the game, but they caused me to start a new game almost immediately about 5 times. UI isn't as good as previous games, hard to tell what is ammo and what is an item. Claptrap keeps talking every 2 seconds at points telling me to do something he already told me and I am just busy fighting stuff, or trying to listen to other lore that he interrupts.
I got this for free on epic and still feel ripped off. i have spent more time starting a new game (4 times so far) than I have playing the game. And apparently they have never heard of this thing on PC called a mouse. This is a **** console port.
This is the worst programmed game I have ever played. At one point in mission 3 or so I ran out of power, and had no option to shut down any buildings to conserve power so that I could build more power generation, and the city was just in decay and unrecoverable. There is no option to restart the mission, autosave is past the point of no return, and if I start that campaign level from the main menu, it forces me to select a perk, which I don't have when playing through the first time. So I have to load a manual save from a previous level and keep playing from there, or if you don't have one, I guess you would have to start over in the tutorial and play through again. Unless they add more buildings to the already decent amount you start with, it looks like it will just be the same thing over and over on different planets, with little variety. A decent amount of hours for a single playthrough perhaps, but probably not something you will play a lot long term.
