Whether you play as a mutated freak with psychic powers or a tech-obsessed True Kin, the game offers an absurd level of freedom. It is a deeply simulated, systems-heavy sandbox where you can literally interact with almost anything. If you want a game that rewards curiosity and doesn't hold your hand while you navigate a world of weird, ancient history, this is your new obsession.
