    Unfortunately, the game comes off as disappointingly beholden to classic computer RPG style despite being a modern creation, and the world feels dry and dull. I can’t imagine many players who aren’t already familiar with the license finding much enjoyment here. But worst of all? This particular version is a terrible port that’s nearly unplayable in some areas, and serves as a good example that not every game belongs on the Switch.

    I really enjoyed this game, it is quite similar to Fallout & Fallout 2, and i loved those, the game itself is fun, the story was fine, andI really enjoyed this game, it is quite similar to Fallout & Fallout 2, and i loved those, the game itself is fun, the story was fine, and choices you made had an actual impact on the world.
    Now, the game on the Switch runs poorly to be honest, and also crashes quite often, i had around 4 crashes in 30 hours of playing, and for some reason, the game started to stutter in some places, even though before, in the same places, it didn't.
    Good game, mediocre port.    … Full Review »

Unfortunately it’s a much more clunky experience here than I remember. I didn’t make it far because i found a few things that made the game frustrating for me
    - switching characters to disarm traps, etc was a little painful on the PC but a real issue here
    - the wheel menus have to be used way too often
    - the game is very dark overall

    I may update if I get further and get more used to the controls.    … Full Review »
