Boiling Steel
You are one of many who set off in search of a better life in the distant bastion of scientific progress. Your goal is a colony planet, free from bureaucratic, religious and other radical restrictions. Here they research and freely use industrial teleportation, transfer of consciousness and other technologies prohibited in the inhabited worlds. Factories, power plants, mines and residential complexes of the planet are fully automated. All the dirty and hard work is done by robotic shells controlled by the operator’s mind. It is a high-tech paradise. But here, something went wrong. As soon as you wake up from a long sleep in a capsule of hibernation, you fall into circulation. Radical fanatics are here too. A virus was launched into information networks that turned robots into aggressive death machines. The paradise planet plunged into the chaos of war. The inhabitants of the colony took the seats of the operators of robotic shells and sent their army of robots into battle. Joint efforts have borne fruit. The virus is localized, stripping is approaching the final phase. But the “robot riot” is just the tip of the space-iceberg that the planet has encountered. Everything that happens next goes beyond understanding and plunges the planet into utter darkness.

Yes, but soft recommendation.
I see the potential here - beautiful vistas, excellent model detail (robot hands in particular are very well modeled) but there are some serious issues. Lots of what appears to be AI art assets without direction - there's a decal that belongs on a restaurant supply box in your main base for example. I'm not against AI, I'm against AI making devs less attentive - and this is what it feels like.
Last I'll say is more personal - that cowboy is insufferable. I turned him off near instantly when he barked 3 times to "get back to the portal" in less than 15s.....while I was walking towards the portal. I think they're going for the "drill sergeant" tough leader stereotype, but his willingness to let his ex die to robots just came off distasteful - especially in what I believe is an AI synthesized voice.
Again - cool game, fully playable which is more than some games in this bundle(LOL at Star Shelter if you feel like getting trapped in an escape pod on Index). I'll def. be playing through, but not a priority sadly.
