After all that has been said, you might think that Advent Rising is a stink bomb worth avoiding at all costs, but at the end of the day, I had have to say that I still had fun playing it. Even with all of the technical difficulties and bland graphics, I still looked forward to playing the game when I was away from it. I wanted to level up all of the weapons and skills, I wanted to find out why the Seekers are trying to wipe out humanity, and I even wanted to see how the relationship of the main characters panned out. I wanted to play the game because it was fun despite everything else, and above all, isn’t that what games are supposed to be about? I'd like to think so.
