All right, after about 25 hours it's rant time.
I like the game. It has a gritty feel, it doesn't hold your hand (I like that there are no maps and little directions), the combat systems are fairly good and there's replay potential for the powergamers. Styg making this almost single-handedly is heroic
The game has only one major flaw: it's annoying.
Walking speed is slow as hell and (inexplicably) you can't run - annoying.
You need to repair your weapon after a few bursts, and click your way through crafting to make repair kits - annoying and totally needless. Also everything else requires repair, all the time.
Most parts of the game are not difficult but then RNJesus slaps you in the face with a critical hit. That would normally be ok but you spent the last 10 minutes recycling items and making repair kits- too frustrating.
Item weight numbers mean you hit the inventory max fast - annoying.
You have a 12% chance to hit the ground at your feet with a flair - stupid and annoying.
Your characters skill has less to do with strategy and more with whether you are willing to patiently hover your mouse over countless components looking for high quality - frustrating.
Respawning ridiculously trashy enemies (rathounds etc) - why?
Your night vision and other shit is drained of power in about 1.3 seconds. Why not make batteries rarer but more durable? - moar clicking.
Night crawlers, shadows, snipers outside vision range, dogs etc. - unfun and annoying enemies.
There's a lot of other stuff in the same vein. It's a shame, I really like the setting and would easily have sunk hundreds of hours into this if my blood pressure had allowed it.
