Unfortunately the considerable lack of polish, indecisively wonky aesthetic and utterly dismal implementation of random events both visually and structurally -- of which can leave your six\u002Fseven\u002Feight hour run feeling wasted for nothing -- leaves Genesis Alpha One feeling like an early build with far too many a hole to plug.
