Starfinder Anyone Tried this game yet, what did you think of it? Starfinder - Afterlight

[GreyLord]

It appears to finally have a demo that's been released. Anyone tried it yet or have any thoughts on how good or bad it is?

Maybe it's my computer, but it's very slow. (It could very well be my computer, so I wouldn't mark that against the game.)

The intro is fun, gets you right into the action. The animation and visual designs for the characters are good. The battles are a bit static, IMO. (I don't mind "stand there and attack/cast spells" in Pathfinder, but in a sci-fi game I do feel like running for cover ought to be more part of the combat shtick, which it doesn't seem to be so far.)

I'm inclined to say that if you like PF2, you'll like this game, and vice versa.

Showed promise, but it's still at an early stage with a lot of subsystems either missing or otherwise inaccessible in the demo. Cover mechanics are indeed one of them. XP was another, so combined with the limited choice of just three pregenerated characters there was no in-game means of getting a broader view of what feats and features etc. were implemented at all.

The story is original and I presume that it's going to be quite non-canon (unless there's... hrm, some sort of timeline manipulation that undoes a major event in the very beginning).

I currently can't get it to run, it just closes as soon as it tries to launch.
