Tried to give the game the benefit of the doubt with my series replay. I made it so close to the ending before the game finally crashed one last time, only for me to open the game once again and learn all of my saves are corrupted.
At first, I was on the more "This game is misunderstood" side of things, only for it to be a really harsh descent into hell from that point on. The second you get to Cairo, the game just sucks.
It is unfortunate that this game, which I'll give credit for being impressive as an immersive sim on console in the early 2000s, sucked this bad. It's odd too cuz I remember enjoying it a lot.
If I did have to give the game credit at all, I like the vibe, I like the music, I really like the gender option, and I think some of the upgrade system stuff is pretty neat, if streamlined. But overall...Fuck this game!
If it weren't for the technical problems, nothing story, bad gameplay and the chance of losing all of your progress in general, I would've appreciated this game more.
