Well I finished episode 1 and, despite the lags and the shortness of the episode, am pretty pleased with the overall game. I rather wish that I had more patience and could have waited to play until both episodes were released but Oh well.
I like the way they go back to the roots of the original rather than try to do another BS3 and/or BS4.
I'm looking forward to finishing the game with Episode 2 and, once it's released, will probably start from scratch and play them from beginning to end.
Maybe by that time they will have fixed the lagging in the voices who knows?
