Is it still worth playing?

Woken from a long sleep on a lost colony ship, you arrive in Halcyon, a distant star system run by corporations, in this 2019 role-playing game played in first person. A scientist on the run, Phineas Welles, revives you and asks for help saving the other colonists, but you can just as well side with the Board he is running from. Your ship, the Unreliable, takes you between planets, each with large areas to explore freely. Along the way, problems can be solved by fighting, sneaking or talking, with lying, persuading and intimidating as separate skills, and your choices change how the story goes. The people around you react too: factions remember what you do to them, and up to two companions come with you, each with a quest of their own. Because nearly every situation can be talked, sneaked or shot through, a second playthrough is still worth making.
