Seriously, hats off to you digi. Not only have you completely flipped my opinion of this particular "genre" (tech?), you've captivated me. I went into this expecting the worst, I'll admit it. I've played a few other games that tried to play this angle, and they all disappointed me..
Artemis was an angel descending from the heavens to give me a personal decree: "This game is the shit, and you will enjoy it."
From the get-go, I loved the renders. You didn't play too far out of the norm and built a believable world that I easily slipped into. The main character wasn't obnoxious and I found myself enjoying the time I spent in his head, with each character introduced driving me deeper down the rabbit hole.
I was engaged all the way through, and I didn't abuse the skip function because I actually cared about what was happening [for once]. One of the biggest problems I have with games like this is that, perhaps due to inexperience on the writers' end, the personalities of various characters would bleed into one another.
Not here. Each person felt real and distinct; and the 'villains' were set up in a way that while I may not like them, I'm interested in seeing what will happen next. The friends and family are fun, and I can see the love and care put into this small world you've created from the writing to the renders, to the overall result.
If you're thinking of playing Artemis while reading these reviews - stop thinking. Just go play it, it's wonderful. I'll be keeping an eye on this to see how updates go, and if it keeps at this quality I will most likely pay it forward through patreon when I can.
