Story and characters

They barely react to what the other says in a dialogue and it sounds more like they really are just saying stuff.

But I review a GAME, on how it feels, and if it's actual FUN gameplay, and if it's at least not-so-buggy (if it's an EA title).

just a fair warning: im writing this review as an early access review. that being said, this game has huge megumi(potential). updates have been coming out consistently so far, so that only boots its megumi(potential). i would like to say though; do not get this game if you have a low end pc, at least not right now. at the time of playing this, i had a laptop with a 3050 in it, and it could barely run it at more than 40 fps if i wanted the game to look good. however, after retouching the game with my desktop, i had a lot more fun. for a frame of reference, my laptop ran something mid range for gaming laptops; [3050 nvidia, i7 cpu, 16 gigs ram, around 8 vram] and my desktop ran something more high end for desktops [rtx 4070ti super, 32 gigs ram, 16 gigs vram] a lot of this games charm comes from the beautiful expansive open world, not the actual gameplay. ive played on the hardest difficulty 100% of my playthrough, and so far have yet to face a significant challenge. when approaching this game, it feels like a much more chill version of "death stranding" in my eyes, its pretty and the actual journey is where the beauty is. this game is lacking a lot in the gameplay field right now, its pretty 2d, but a great proof of concept. you can see the systems, and you can totally see that something is going to be there. all that being said; i highly recommend getting this game IF you are its target audience. if not, i suggest waiting for more development before deciding if its for you. basically, if you're on the fence, dont buy it (unless on sale), but if you are really wanting the game, go for it. do remember though, its pretty early in development.
