Reviews are mixed, with recurring criticism of the writing, dialogue, and limited role-playing and story choices. Many reviewers also found the companions less nuanced or memorable than they wanted. Others enjoyed the action combat, striking environments, character creator, or late-game finale; some praised the combat early on but said it became repetitive.
