First run through and thoughts

[brassbgeek]

So I played the game for the first time, and beat the whole thing on the first play through and unlocked everything in the process. I just want to lay down some thoughts. Nothing necessarily good or bad, just things I feel like should be said.

 

 

 

First, great game. I enjoyed playing through it, even though it was pretty short.

 

 

The tutorial was fine, but I think I learned more watching gameplay videos of the game than I did from the tutorial.

 

 

Aside from one mission type that I was having some issue with, everything ran smoothly, I didn't run in to any bugs which was quite nice.

 

I enjoy the current variety of missions, though more is always welcome, and will keep the game from getting old too quickly (when I reached the last mission, the message said there would be more, so I'm not worried).

 

 

The game did seem a little on the easy side. Which is okay, not everyone is looking for a super hard challenge, but I think one more difficulty setting wouldn't be amiss. I know that a part of this is randomness, and honestly, there were a couple missions I played that were really close calls where I was really close to losing an agent, and if I had, that would have made the rest of the game very hard.

 

The current final mission was actually kind of silly how easy it was lol. I think it was just how the map was layed out, but I was in and then I was out.

 

 

There is an item that I'm unsure if it works. Its an item that says when you make a successful melee attack you get 4 AP. I don't think I ever saw that work. Then there was a mission that I don't think was working correctly, but I already sent a bug report for that one.

 

 

Overall, really good game, just seems a little easy right now. I'll go through again though, using the starting characters and programs to make sure that I didn't just luck myself through the whole game lol.

 

One thing that would be cool. I saw that there was an endless, mode, but I think an extended story mode would also be cool. One that lasts something like, 5 days, but has even more secure buildings towards the end would be a cool addition I think. Just a thought.

 

Thanks for the great game!

When you do the tutorial, does it automatically put the game in easy mode? if so that might be why it was easy the first time through, and there should be a difficulty selection after you finish that tutorial mission.

and I discover that I had been playing on easy. The game is sufficiently hard, in that I came close to winning once (I would have won if I remembered to hit the overwatch button).

 

Out of several games though, I feel that "normal" is pretty difficult, so good job guys lol

That is exactly what is planned for the final game!  During early access, we only get the first 4 days, but in the final game, Klei has stated that the story mode will be longer, with special missions every 3-4 days.

 

Personally, I can't wait to see it!
