My butthurt traumatic experience with this game was so bad I removed it from my Steam library.

We need @Deidre for proper review.
Every lore book I pick up playing this game is some varient of:
"Reality is mystery and fascinating - but it's largely miserable, so don't bother trying to understand anything - Dr. Zakovnya - A lifelong Refelection"
Russssssssia.

After 25 hours still nothing gamebreaking. The most problems I have are with party members. Stucking everywhere, respawning in different corners of map, shooting in wall, no moving at all.
Other impressions are, charakter system is simple, some special options in conversation due to points in certain skill are nice. I got the best armor quite early so it make fights kind of easy. Durability system is annoying. Quests are mainly just about running between multiple places. Constant travel accross the whole station is becoming a chore. So it looks like that for all these elements important for RPG will we have to wait for Colony Ship to get them right. But I don´t expect it to top the lore, world building and art of Insomnia. Atmosphere of huge, real, unique, living place is great. Plus I realy enjoy all dream like and supernatural elements that will keep me playing until the end.

Ok, so problem with games that are full of bugs is that sometimes I don´t know if I just missed something or if I´m fucked because of bug. Sector H-27-55, quest All flesh is grass, I ended up in two tunels that are blocked by some kind of trains. Problem is that I think that one of those tunels should be clear. So is it bugged or I just missed something?

If this is the one where the tunnels are blocked by the large round spheres, then you are missing something.
On your way there you climb down a ladder that has drains near the bottom of it. The writing on the wall mentions something about blocking the drains. I forget what exactly but you have to do something with one of the drains and it forces open a locked door in the next room.
should i finally play this or wait for another patch?

too hard. i remember that the starting firearms you're given are practically made out of chewing gum and tinfoil, so their condition degrades extremely rapidly, and you aren't given much ammo. i'm gonna cross my fingers and hope they re-balanced that
Ormun is implying something about the game still not being ready, yet.
Another year folks.

(MQ is bugged with "Captain Riebel becoming unresponsive", players are unable to advance through the game after a certain point if they trigger it.)
Note to devs: Don't upset your progammers lol.

Or don't hire incompetent hack programmers!
At this point better than nothing. Game breaking bugs like that should have been priority #1 from launch.

Sure,but reading other people's code without a legend/guide is hard.

Maybe the programmer can't read Russian.
...that's why the pay is good.
Instead, they focused on upgrading Unreal and Dx12 shaders.
