You play as Rover, who awakens without their memories in the post-apocalyptic world of Solaris-3. As civilization rebuilds after the Lament, you meet Resonators and travel through a continuing story tied to Rover’s past and the world’s future.
Explore a large world on foot or by wall-running, flying, and riding a high-mobility motorbike. Search regions for secrets and resources, take on quests, and fight the creatures and other enemies you encounter.
Combat centers on quick attacks, dodges, counters, character abilities, and team swaps. Recruit and develop Resonators, collect Echoes from creatures to use their abilities, and gather resources through quests, exploration, and battles.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the fast, responsive combat and the timing involved in dodges, counters, and combos. Open-world movement and exploration, attractive environments and character designs, and cinematic story moments also recur as draws; several reviewers say the story becomes more engaging in later chapters. Music is another point of appreciation, though opinions on it vary.
