LockeProposal's Big Day Out

+ Fitting and unique soundtrack+ Stunningly original world, character designs, and environment designs+ How one can tackle combat scenarios is entirely open; one can focus on gunplay, stealth, hacking, etc. to advance through a given stage+ RPG elements are incredibly in-depth, and the various stat/build combinations are staggering+ Items found can be researched to aid proficiency of abilities, etc.+ Solid, thoroughly enjoyable gunplay+ Developers created a unique language for the game, and the augmented voice-overs sound incredible when speaking it+ Equipment and inventory is weight-based, and is very easy and practical to navigate- Slightly clunky controls (especially ladders); one might consider perusing the default key-mappings and making a few changes- Lore and backstory are packed into this game, but there's far too much to introduce organically, and it's otherwise thrown at the player in a confusing, incohesive way- Generally lackluster optimization- Most of the novel mechanics (hacking, stealth, psi-powers, etc.) are poorly introduced and often end up being tragically underutilized- Antiquated sound design (in terms of FX)
