Observation

This is a good first step. I want more good gamesd where you are the AI. This is very linear. but for one play it is a ton of fun and does not overstay it's welcome. More AI-Management stuff and "internal interface" would have been liked more by me. But i do not regret playing it. If you cannot stand linear games or walking simulators at all: don't play.

It's interesting, but ultimately not fun For the most part it's a collection of co-op mini-games, but without co-op, and with very poor instructions at times. It feels like it was supposed to feel frustrating, but maybe it wasn't supposed, yet it does. Navigation in tight space with zero gravity is a separate kind of a headache, for me it was the hardest part of the game. Besides, some interactions are well scripted, but some are not even possible or poorly planned, so characters at times act really dumb. And the railroading is extreme, it really should've been a movie instead

Stop reading, get this game and go wild! === This review contains spoilers === At first glance, the gameplay seems to be simple - but this is what makes this title works the way it does! You take control of SAM, a simple AI that helps a crew inside a space station in order to achieve their goals. But – as you may guess – things went south due unknown reasons at this point. Regardless of being an AI, you are powerless and can’t do much. But this is where the gold lives: you are limited! And... Well... I’ll stop here. Talking more about how this game works and why it’s so brilliant will interfere with your experience. That being said... Stay critic, fair, open-minded and go play the game!

Ridiculously good story!

I overall enjoyed my time with this game but that comes with some big asterisks. Honestly I wish there was a 'mixed' option for this. Firstly you play this game for the ambiance, it is unmatched in that. Everything else ranges from meh to bad. The biggest problem just the game's ability to communicate to the player. Its environmental ambiance is over used, and while it looks great when it comes to learning what to do next it also suffers from a "I ran in circles for 30 minutes before having to look at a walkthrough" problem. As much as I hate the yellow paint slathered all over triple A games it really needs some better design for the sake of navigation and clarity. Also shout out to the sound designer for this game. Best audio landscape I have heard since Subnatica.

- I enjoyed playing as an ai. - Story started out strong, - The art direction is good, i enjoyed the bad quality/vhs effect on certain cameras, - cutscenes are janky sometimes (could be a linux issue) - I personally found the gameplay fun, although sometimes i didn't know what to do at all.
