How does all this come together? What's the whole package worth? Well, in my opinion the game is: a) a hard one and b) a good one. Its biggest problem isn't within the game itself, but in the slightly misleading marketing. The problem is: Harbinger is neither as revolutionary, or even the same game that the advertising wants us to believe it is. Harbinger is an action game with a well done futuristic setting, with light role-playing elements. If you expected traditional role-playing, you may be disappointed. If you expected a game that will be a contender for best game of the year, you will be disappointed as well.
