Whilst doing my traditional slog through game pass slop ive just complete aphelion, possibly one of the shittest and most frustrating games ive ever endured.
The game controls like treacle, you have to cope with endless horrible cutscenes with uggo characters that suck, many!
The story is a retarded "corpos bad, humans suck" dirge. There's no arc to the story at all its just misery, the characters have no chemistry or charisma and the writing is wooden.
And the controls are fucking horrific.
My playtime would be cut in half if there werent asscreed1 tier jumps into oblivion when traversing walls, random glitches into noisy bits of terrain when 'stealth' or rope swinging like a retard because orienting yourself on a rope is apparently down to juju. Basically anything that requires a B press on your controller has a 50% chance of behaving as you expect.
Also mechanics , getting one-shotted by a lightning bolt wuth no warm up, stealth bits that go into run bits with no cue to change.
Literal shit. As you probably guessed.
More game pass game slop coming your way
E2a: will I 100%? No
Writing was utterly atrocious but for some reason I found that charming. Gameplay was buggy. I don't think I would have enjoyed it had I played xcom 2 first, however.
