It is a real pleasure exploring each established colony, and admiring the intricacies that differentiate both the architecture and the culture that has stemmed from the individuals living there. ADA always has your back - she's hilarious. In fact any decision made no matter how morally dubious will be justified by ADAs subsystems to feel like a good call, regardless of how may settlers and colonies were destroyed before coming to the decision. Every dialogue choice leads to her essentially wink-wink nudge-nudging the protagonist into taking the captains ID, so she can start to serve a purpose again. A 'Yes Woman' in every sense, ADA refuses to provide any access to the ships systems unless the captain is present. Voice acting is solid, with a surprising amount of dialogue options and a lot of care put into character models and design.Īnother major highlight worth noting is ADA (Autonomous Digital Astrogator), who controls the communications and navigations of the colony ship. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into giving every character populating the world a unique personality. All lines are still delivered with an offset optimism that makes any bitter reference to how 'The Board' has impacted their lives all the more amusing. Every NPC bemoans their individual life choices with snide comments, and the kind of self-deprecating humour that only comes after years of unfulfilled potential. From that initial pod/head interaction, to any further conversations, a lot of charm is injected into the dialogue.
This is a funny experience from start to finish. Once satisfied with result of the Frankenstein process, the result is fired out of an escape pod by the standard father figure Phineas Wells, and tasked with rendezvousing a local smuggler - the first curveball is thrown, in this case 'flattering' expectations. Customisation does feel a little more restricted than for example, Mass Effect: Andromeda, which does lead to a more fantastical approach when designing the next 100+ hours hero of the Commonwe… galaxy. Instantly familiar will be the character creation screen, with enough customisation options to ensure an adequate character model. Heavily leaning (perhaps a little lazily) into past developing experiences, the unnamed protagonist awakens a member of a cryogenically suspended colony heading into the cosmos to populate a new planet.
