Steam comparisons don't work. You can buy 99% of pc games on steam, you can ONLY buy EA games on origin. There aren't many steam-exclusive games either so you don't feel forced to use steam. If Valve had kept Steam as a Valve-exclusive store people would dislike it just as much as origin.
My main gripe is that im a few hours in and i still don't know why John is pursuing the Bill Williamson charactor.
While i understand the story is a slow-burn and they want to keep things mysterious, i wish i was given a stronger sense of purpose. Launching the game right into doing odd-jobs to earn your keep is not that thrilling.
