Haven't played all the side content yet but got through all the main stuff. Still enjoying the main story. They did a very nice job with Ela's design, just a gorgeous character. Also a nice job incorporating the sex into the story with her. Every scene should be that way via events on the ship, etc.
Thanks to the guy with the unlocked save file, I was able to test Pandora and go through most of the GIFs without having to finish all the side content to gain all the points necessary for the unlocks - as expected, still the short GIFs in Pandora with no transition animations making almost all of it have poor flow, zero context / narrative integration which cheapens the content significantly - maybe some of this will change after the next update when they plan to work on Pandora (they have not specified what that means).
Another negative would be, as others have already noted, the minimal narrative progression in this update. Basically a multi stage mission to get Ela out of the prison and then do a mission on the Kloi homeworld along with a few interlude cinematics. As someone else in the thread noted, it makes you wonder exactly what they were working on for ~7 months. That's not to say they did nothing, but definitely would have expected a lot more narrative progression in that timeframe. Also most of the primary story combat was on the ground, which, at least to me, is the worst part of the game with the grid combat - I find it incredibly tedious and boring. The space combat is much more enjoyable.
There wasn't anything in this update that made me feel the need to move my review score from a 2/5, either up or down.
