This was the review I was looking for. I might pick the game up on sale at this point. Would it be worth a GOG buy at some point?

I got it on gog because I think this game might fall into the same situation the other attempts at Stargate video games did: there will be an IP dispute and it will be removed from sale, and development stopped. GOG gives out a drm-free copy that you can keep.

I'm not convinced the second half will be released this April, if at all. It's clear that they needed to start sales to afford the costs of finishing the delayed product. The interesting situation they have found themselves in is that they've already charged for the full product, so if they don't deliver they are liable for refunds, perhaps.

My opinion: if you're a die hard fan, give it a go, but don't expect it to match the lore of the show, and don't expect it to be a fun game. It feels like something that started as a star wars game that had to change to a Stargate game mid production, and all the details are awkwardly crammed into gaps where they don't belong.
