Lots of in-game configuration options to tweak. These are the keyboard/mouse controls, the game also plays with a controller

The game starts with a very convincing advert for CREO, then focus shifts to the player's character who's been watching it. He's on a train, very 'Half Life'

Now this is something you don't see very often in games. The main character starts in a wheelchair but it fits the story perfectly

So the game is still playing through the introduction and character setup. We can either play with the Rhino augmentation or the Lynx Field Technician

Selecting the Lynx Field Technician mod by wheeling through the appropriate door, part listening/part ignoring the adverts and wondering what happens next

The augmentations are applied, the operation scene is well done but it looks like the sedation didn't work that well.

We regain consciousness after the operation, on our back in the dirt with a robot dragging us to a scrappage point

This is still part of the tutorial and the game gives advice on using health boosts, target acquisition and combat

In-game help is also displayed on flat surfaces

Found a medical pack to scavenge

The inventory screen

A holograph seems to be the only sign of life. We're told we need a new power pack and that we must get to the factory.

Don't forget to look up and use these things whenever possible

The first combat session was not successful. The mouse wheel should be used to target specific body parts, in this case the unprotected head
