I bought NightShift last week. Technically it is realy a great game. And very good looking. It is stable like a rock. I played only the RPG-part (don't like RTS). My Playtime so far is 28 hours (as displayed in savegame dialog) without a single crash, glitch, error. That is out of the box without a single patch. Now, that is something I've never seen before...
Gameplay is okay. A little boring, but challenging. It's pretty dificult. I'm at the end of level 7 and can't beat the endboss. He kills my amazon with one single hit <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
There are random sidequests. But these are boring and repetive. I hope the battlefields in RR are not like these. Your avatar is somewhat braindead. He can only remember one single sidequest at a given time. Only when one sidequest is finished he can get another.
Oh, and the pathfinding is the best I've ever seen in any RPG.
