Story and characters

I may have saved too much actually, because getting the "best ending" achievement depends on a specific decision I made, and that save was overwritten long before I reached the end.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
It is a lot like a rpg because you go talk to guys and get missions so it might be the first ever fps action rpg.

The music is pretty enjoyable but like the music for the town or the power plant and the voice acting is fun in a hammy way.

I've only tested controller support with a wired Xbox 360 controller, but man does it work well.
