Generación Xbox

The spirit of the series is reflected 100%.
The graphical improvement is evident.
Space exploration moments

6.5

Checkpoint Gaming

Character dialogue and performances feel very authentic to the TV series
Moral choices were an interesting way of exploring Drummer's character
Elaborate zero-G action scenes at least look quite exciting

Episodes feels disappointingly truncated and oddly paced
Despite fun character interactions, the actual plot is quite small-scale and uninteresting
Limited dialogue options and minimal interactivity during action scenes leave the experience feeling quite linear

7.25

Pizza Fria

Brazilian Portuguese subtitles
The story introduces the protagonist and the characters very well.
The choice system appears to have positive consequences on the relationships that the character establishes with the team members.
The game is visually beautiful.

Click events disrupt the rhythm of certain scenes.
PC crash problems
The first episode is very short and could better develop the direction that the storytelling will take.
The game continues to heavily rely on the established formula from the past, especially when it comes to exploration and gameplay. It lacks more variation.
