Please be a good game ... I've been waiting for a vg adaptation of the paranoia universe since forever. Please be good please be good please be good ... Citizens ! Friend Computer reminds me that it is a great game that makes you happy since it's about Friend Computer. Sorry if I misled you into thinking it could be less than great. I'll be on my way to my Mandatory Termination now.
A slice of 90's Syndicate, a drop of Invisible Inc, a dash of unit based (team of 4) RTS controls with active pausing (a la Pillar of Eternity), a sprinkle of RPG (skills, inventory and MCQs dialogues) and a generous serving of sharply written dark humour. The Really Bad : gamepad controls are confusing AF and the fixed camera angle (unless I missed something) is really a bitc... Sorry - a bit confusing. After 2 hours I'd say : OK gameplay (if you like the genre) and really good ambiance. I think it's gonna be hit or miss - not for everyone I'm afraid. Slow paced and the writing is what makes it kind of special. Do not try it if you need some speedy twitchy stuff with voice acting ahoy and eye candy everywhere !!! ADVISED PC SPECS: must run well on even old configs - doesn't seem too intensive either on GPU or CPU. A GT 1030 is probably enough ..? And a mid-low specs CPU must be enough too. Guesstimate only.
