That depends on what you like in your RPG games. The game is a short budget title that tells a good story, but is a typical game from a studio like Spiders.
You can check the coverage on our site with the following links.
I recommend Game of Thrones also as they helped Cyanide develop that game.

No problem Archangel I love to help sometimes.
I'm happy to see that Focus Home keeps funding new games. Between the other RPG game from yesterday called Vampyr, and now this I'm excited.
The publisher also funded a bunch of new strategy games I cover in our forums.

Its a different publisher so I did not list the game on this thread.

I liked the setting so I am certainly interested in any new RPG set in that world.
As for Mars War Logs, I did enjoy it but it also had its fair share of flaws. Most notably, IMO, is the fact that it was a low budget game but my impression was that the developers wanted to make a "big" and "epic" game whose scope simply wasn't supported by that imited budget. As a consequence, the NPCs were too shallow and the story progression wasn't presented with sufficient depth and detail.
The combat system, which reminded me a bit of the Witcher 2, was very solid and I didn't experience a single bug.
I hope that the developers learn from their experience and try to make a game according to their budget and provide more depth and focus.

The bigger issue for me was how small and linear the areas were. There was very little in the way of meaningful exploration.
Mars: War Logs was an ok game, which could have been great with a bigger budget. Bound By Flame was inferior imho.
Anyway I'm happy that there will be another RPG from Spiders.

Of course, a low budget doesn't allow for much "explorability", in which case you have to tailor your RPG accordingly and focus on other aspects.
In any case, although I do enjoy exploration, I am not necessarily an "exploration aficionado" and instead tend to value other things more in an RPG so I don't mind a linear design approach or hub based system.
You can finish the game in twenty hours, or more depending on how you play.
I completed the game and have 34 hours in my log. I'm a completionist, so I did all sidequests and there's some idle time in included as well.

plus the last third of the game is replayable since you have to make a big choice

I completed the game twice, with 15 hours per gameplay.
It is not possible to do all the quests in the game in one play through, because of the choices and consequences.

I hope they improve the game play somewhat. I really found mars war log game play (combat) a bit unfun. I mean it starts ok but then it gets really boring. Just my taste; I can stand a game with weak story but fantastic game play but no matter how good the game's story if the it is a strain to play it won't be loved (by me).
