You can’t really gauge its Steam reviews because there are only 13(!) total so far, reflective of a game that has launched with just a few hundred players. 224, as I’m writing this article. Sub-Concord levels. Yes. Concord is a unit of measurement now.

The Concord legacy lives on.

I would be careful with such generalizations - not because I'd be downvoted into a hole (I've turned the scores off and just DGAF), but it's epistemologically a bad habit. However, whatever I've seen so far that SBI had their fingers in does have a certain fellow-kids, safe-edgy, corporate-approved, plushie-anarchist tone, the dialogues are atrociously bad and disjointed from their theme (Sable's postapocalypse, for instance). They can do a less funny version of Joss Whedon's relaxed banter and they tend to stick it everywhere. But what I really dislike about SBI is that it's obviously a grift, making developers cough protection money to add pronouns and hair colors to characters.
