Similar games have done far worse. Story is...lacking, while there are several small ambiguous stories scattered around the world for the player to discover, none of them explain much past expanding the scope of the world. This game could benefit from a complete look at the different aspects of the megastructure itself. The game has so many interesting set pieces, signs of life, intelligent construction, and yet it never expands upon any of it. It's like a "connect the dots" drawing that has a bunch of dots with some of them connected 2-3, 7-9, etc. We have bits and pieces of a world but not enough to really create one. I'm not asking for thorough explanations of the world but a bit more to sink my teeth into. When I think about why I enjoyed this short experience, it's because it got so much right, and left me wanting so much more. Still, if you go into this game looking for a fun little problem solving FPS with an interesting world to consider, you'll end up liking it quite a bit.
