Great game!! While there is ultimately only one ending, there are 3 different possibilities to choose from. There are lots of funny in-game videos and interactions. I played in normal mode and had plenty of resources to complete it.

Can't purchase available upgrades from the menu, the training packages, the weapons... can't purchase any of it.

Game is Stuck on the Logo Screen. Reinstalled and tried both graphics options both times. When you pay for a game it should work... If it doesn't, it's a scam.
★☆☆☆☆Grady Shields· Dec 8, 2025
It was great, but now there's a bug where you can't even get to the title screen. The game is locking up right at the Inxile Entertainment screen. Please fix this soon because this is one of the best games I've ever played.
