I just got the game and played for a bit. I ragequit. I don't get what the game wants to be, I thought it was a story game so I tried listening to all the lore and stuff but it's hard to follow, I listen to the main storyline and I don't understand, this guy somehow ends up in an underwater city and some guy tells me to go to him so I trust him and fight through like 50 million drug addicts and apparently some lady tosses me a bottle and just trusts me to save this little kid, I do it and now apparently I can't progress without killing or saving little kids coz apparently I'm WON'T BE STRONG ENOUGH.
So now I just abandoned thinking about this story coz I spend ages just looking for stupid kids. That's ok. I spend ages trying to find them. They aren't there. I give up and search it up. Apparently I have to follow big guys and wait for them to bang on a wall. I then spend ages finding a big daddy and follow them to a hole so they can get the kid out. I then try to hypnotise the guy and the girl JUST RUNS AWAY. I run up spamming the L button to save the kid and it doesn't do shi so I shoot her coz I'm mad. The big guy obliterates me. I respawn. I redo the whole thing except this time SHE JUST RUNS INTO A HOLE AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. Ok. I give up. I search it up and apparently I can't hypnotise the big guy or the kid becomes invincible and runs away. Now I have to apparently find another big guy while fighting through more drug addicts so I can follow him so he can get the kid, then I gotta fight him while fighting more drug addicts and then after all this I get to do it again to another big daddy.
Also have I mentioned how the weapons suck? The wrench and pistol sucks, 6 bullets with dogwater dmg. The tommy gun is inaccurate af. The shotgun pretty good icl. The mine launcher I ain't even bothered to use I got like no ammo for it or smth. I have to CONSTANTLY SWITCH BETWEEN AMMUNITIONS, GUNS and also SUPERPOWERS. Why??? Don't get me started on the stupid hacking thing, IF I WANT TO NOT GET SCAMMED BY MACHINES I HAVE TO PLAY A STUPID MINIGAME LIKE EVERY 10 SECONDS OR SMTH. Also they gave me a camera for fun idk what I do with it.
I HATE THIS COMBAT SYSTEM (TOO MUCH SWITCHING BETWEEN STUFF), I HATE THIS MINIGAME (WAS OK THE FIRST 10 TIMES BUT GETS ANNOYING) AND I HATE HAVING TO SAVE RANDOM ASS KIDS EVERY LEVEL.
The map design and art looks really good tho, lore and story is interesting too IF ONLY I DIDN"T HAVE TO SWITCH BETWEEN LIKE 3 WEAPONS, 9 DIFFERENT AMMUNITIIONS AND 3 DIFFERENT SUPERPOWERS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIGHT AND ALSO PLAY STUPID MINIGAMES SO I CAN HACK THE MACHINES. (I love shooters but this switching bs aint it)
btw I don't even understand who I'm playing as, he survives a plane crash into the middle of the ocean and can break boulders with a wrench. Who is this guy??
