The Real Review

ZA/UM's story-rich spy RPG has landed well with players, who are mostly praising its strong writing, great graphics, and compelling cast like Hershel and Cascade. The gameplay is seen as a worthy successor to Disco Elysium's style, though some find the difficulty a bit uneven and the value proposition just okay. The real problem is performance, with widespread reports of bugs and technical issues, especially on PC, which is dragging down the experience for many.
