After struggling with technical difficulties and just not vibing with some of the games systems, I've decided to just let it rest.

I'll say that the pawn system does seem interesting and it is quite unique even after all these years, the idea of hiring helpers from your friends and tailoring your own sounds a lot of fun.

And as for what I didn't like, it is mostly the old and janky stuff. The menus and inventory management are a mess, encumbrance should just be eliminated from all games and then the items being spread among the pawns is also just more busy work to organize.

I can see all the potential here for the upcoming sequel, so I guess I'll just wait for that.
