There’s no item combining here so things don’t get too complicated in that regard but Robert does gain a hacking tool which can take some time to get your head around. You’ll walk around reasonably sized environments and, much like a point and click game, see what you can interact with, pick up what you can and make a note of where you can use items for later when you’ve found the appropriate maguffin. You never get a huge amount so it’s not a massive problem but there is probably a more streamlined approach. It’s a slower paced game so it’s responsive enough but using items from your inventory can be a little clumsy as you scroll through them all. When interacting with someone you get similar options but can choose to talk to them as well. Usually this will be to inspect or interact with the object or, if it’s an option then you can use an item from your inventory. Press on the item and your options will pop up. You control Robert directly and as you approach things and point the camera in their direction they’ll highlight much as they would have in the old style.

Its roots are in the point and click adventure genre but you don’t control a cursor here. He’ll meet old acquaintances and discover just how much has changed in his time away. Robert being the resourceful man that he is follows the tracks which leads him back to where his first adventure took place, Union City. He goes fishing with a friend and his friend’s son but the son is kidnapped and taken away in a giant, four legged vehicle. A comic book style intro shows Robert hanging out with a tribe in the Gap one last time before moving on.
