Saviorless Review Cons:

No actual tutorial.
The game stutters every time it autosaves which is a lot.
The controls are not explained and at one point you use one button for everything then suddenly it’s not about one and it’s a different one.
Despite the constant autosaves, you are never sure when you have hit a checkpoint.
No real voice work of any character.
