What players say

Players are split on Estranged: The Departure. Many praise the atmosphere, sound design, and puzzles, but nearly as many say the combat is terrible, the enemy AI is braindead, and the game feels like a step down from the free original mod. Most reviewers who enjoyed it recommend it on sale.
