(Small spoilers in the beginning, ending spoilers after second warning) Let me start off by saying this game was good, great even, but not perfect. I really enjoyed the game and have gotten all of its achievements in about 12 hours including the 1 hour sleeping achievement (extra hours are from leaving it on by mistake). It was a fun game with a compelling story. I can't help but feel like the game was missing some things/additional content, sure no character customization but I feel since they modeled 4 cats for the beginning maybe at the very start you could pick between the 4 cats. I also feel like there could have been something more to collect, had more energy cans once you get to midtown and things you can do with them there, some other thing to collect besides memories, more to the antvillage chapter, make the bots say different things when presenting them with an item. Showing every bot the poncho and hearing the same thing over and over again until you find the right bot wasn't fun and because it felt like a sidequest right there with the sheet music I was pretty disappointed when I started doing the main quest again and discovered this whole trading sequence thing I had just completed was part of the main quest and not extra. I was wondering why there was no pay off for giving him the poncho. There wasn't a whole lot to get besides the sheet music. I spent so much time looking for *anything* else in the slums that once I got to midtown I didn't feel compelled to look. In midtown there were more hidden memories and such compared to the slums because it is bigger, but after spending so much time looking around the slums to not get rewarded very much, and antvillage having almost nothing made me look around much less once I got to midtown. The other thing is some of the controls and movements. I fell through the ground about 3 times knocking off the pictures in Seamus' house, and frequently jumped down from things while looking up or vice versa. (SPOILERS AHEAD) Why was there no reveal of how the big eye ball monster came to be or some fight with it, you just see it and are like omg wow that will be a big fight or something, and run away. The next gripe is with the ending and complete lack of answers. I wish one of the outsiders at least would have made it out with us, or something would have happened with B 12. It suggests that everyone is able to get out but what was up with the guardians dying once the sun hit them? Why did it feel like there was some big boss behind the peace keepers and the whole midtown area for it to just be robots acting mean, I would have liked some big twist or something there. Like the robots were dead set on not letting anyone out. I thought it was building up to explain that the reason why the robots gained sentience was because B 12 had figured out how to put all of his human friends into robots like himself or something, or at least the outsiders and that's why they were so obsessed with getting out. All in all it was a great game from a small team but it definitely left me wanting more, at least more answers.

The story and graphics are great, but the controls and some mechanics really bother me. I have played for about 4 hours now, sometimes when I tab out and go back into the game my horse just kind of turns around like my W and S and A and D keys are swapped. I do not like that when you die out of mission instead of resetting and having another chance you just die, lose money, and don't get to do what you were trying to do. Don't get me wrong I don't mind the losing money as a punishment for dying, but when I am getting held up by O'Driscolls I would like to try to kill them over and over and lose all my money or actually kill them. Some mission instructions have been pretty unclear, and it is pretty frustrating not knowing what is going on through no fault of my own. I also DO NOT LIKE having to look stuff up on the internet in an RPG. I filled my satchel, the game told me to bring animals to Pearson so I could upgrade my satchel, so I did, then it says I need leather tools to upgrade it. I think okay, that's fine, I head down to the good ol' Valentine General Store and buy me some leather working tools, no luck. I look around the town for a bit and don't find anything. I go back to camp and can't find anything. Apparently I need to complete a mission for Herr Leopold Strauss, or possibly I just didn't check the ledger book yet, not sure. Also my horse is dirty, so it says to brush it or run in some water. I decide oh I will brush my horse when I get back to camp, get back to camp, it's not letting me brush my horse. I think oh maybe I need to go to the general store and buy a horse brush, I did see a section for horse care I didn't check out when I went to look for the leather working tools, I trot down to the town on my dirty horse and no brush. I look around town and camp for maybe like a brush station or something no luck. Apparently my horse brush is locked behind a quest as well, despite the game telling me to brush my horse. Lastly my first bounty. I played the first game as kind of a killer, you said something rude dead, you looked at me funny, lasso'd and drug to death, etc. This game I decided to try really hard not to get a bounty on myself at all. I am doing the quest where Kieran is taking me to the O'Driscoll's hideout and I finish and all of a sudden it just says I am being investigated? I can't tell if I am supposed to kill the last witness, if there are law people looking for me etc. until it's too late, I got a bounty, I lost the law but I also would have had to go back about an hour in order to try this one mission again and not get the bounty at all. There was absolutely no explanation, I do not know who alerted the law or anything. I guess maybe they heard the shots but I don't know. All in all I guess I have enjoyed myself, just needlessly frustrating mechanics and gameplay in this so far, I really want to like it, I hope it gets better and not worse.
