New World Review (8.5/10)

Now - Let me start by saying my PC (current) is bellow minimum required specifications for New World.

PC Specs:

CPU = i5-10400f
RAM = 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 (4x8GB)
GPU = R9 270 2GB

My 970 (recommended spec tier GPU) died recently, so - I had to get a new one. With lack of money, I saw an R9 270 on Ebay for a decent price compared to alternative, more expensive and worse, GTX 1030 2GB.
Minimum requirements for this game state an R9 280 2GB GPU. Compared to the 270, the 280 is around 20-30% better performance than the 270.

Can I Run New World?

YES!

At lowest settings, I get around 30-40ish FPS and almost no stuttering at all. Keep in mind, Drivers for the R9 270 have not been supported and updated for a long whille now.

Is this Game WORTH IT?

Yes. Sell some inventory items to make up the cost, maybe wait for a sale. But even current price, New World is pretty great. I'm a veteran ESO player playing thousands of hours from launch to the Morrowind update. This game brings back old memories of how ESO used to feel like and I love it so much.

The problems I see with this however is potential issues with how companies (clans/tribes/houses/etc) can set taxation. When they get a starting area, they can bump up taxes for crafting to a fair amount. You should probably save your materials, save your gold and find an area with moderate or under taxes for crafting to main your crafting within.

Quests in this game is pretty solid too. Some are dull and imo, there isnt enough of them in main towns - however, you actually feel really good about quest rewards beginning this game.

Abilities and Weapons are GREAT. Having these awesome weapons to use to do insane things is ... just so amazing.

Imma end this review here tho

This game really deserves some love and hype brought to it.

Why?
It's FUN.

You'll enjoy playing this game while watching anything - it's the casual gamer's DREAMCHILD

I legit watched school of rock while playing this comfortably.

The ♥♥♥ is that the controls are sometimes iffy and that imo, this should be worth around £15 not £20.
Besides that, top tier fun.

this game is ass with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanics and seems to have literally 0 skill-based matchmaking, so new players are pushed into lobbies with people who literally do 180s on you..
this game is not a casual game, its a fairly hardcore game. you will not have fun in it casually playing, youll be tryharding and being like - oh trying my hardest in videogames is what its all about...

Like

Bullet-proof glass on basically almost all windows and door windows??? like tf? and new players have to learn what windows they can shoot through and cant, cause majority of older players already knows and shoots you through ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ glass or knows not to and then rushes you straight after you figure out...

also, you cant kill somebody with 4-5 shots to the legs with a shotgun. if the devs want realism for that - holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, do they need to play black ops 2 campaign, because woods knows that shotguns to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ legs creates wheelchair people....

like holy ♥♥♥♥ this game makes me mad, if only i didnt try give this a 2nd chance.

also there is no matchmaking for coop servers. so G ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ G on that bait.

this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, like - COP CARS ARE FASTER THAN YOUR STARTING CARS - with nitro....... its like, they have no progression to cop cars, and throwing the ♥♥♥♥ at you full force. genuinely nearly impossible for starter cars to get away when there is 2 or more cops on you, which is so idiotic its unreal.

like, this game is dirt cheap with ea access, but like - still, holy crap is it horrible for mechanics like that, and how, you lose your money if you get rammed so ♥♥♥♥ much by cops to the point you basically die....
like, idk why this game is so positive with bs mechanics like that for starter players - ON EASY MODE.
Genuinely grew up playing gran turismo and nfs, this is by far the worst nfs ive played, hands down and its a pain in the ass, trying to play a game for fun but getting butt railed by 3 cop cars that overpass you and smash into you, like the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool aid man.

I'm sorry to say, this game is dead.

It had *ALOT* of potential, however I don't think this could make any tier of comeback, so don't get it. It's sad, I love it but I think the developers should do some justice to the game, some touch ups - full release, see how release does - if it does poorly, support the game with tweaks and fixes and ignore content additions, move onto another project with the experience you have gained from this.

Wish you all the best, developers <3

Updated - (Steam Awards 2021):
My review hasnt changed drastically, I have kept up with Rust news and things have gone a decent route - however fundamental NEW change has still yet to come to Rust. I do wish for this BUT, my review is changing from Negative to Positive because of the effort the developers put into their content. Being around dev streams, talking to them - they are nice people who really deserve that lovely labour award. You know the one.





Rust is a great game, but realistically it falls short on alot of things - especially when the developers are so detached from the community nowadays. They feed us poor updates with more changes to small things that barely matter and are more gimmicks than anything, such as hot air balloons and submarines.
The lack of a weapon update too is kinda ♥♥♥♥, even as a player who mainly adores the pve side of Rust. The last weapon we had was the grenade launcher, I believe, that is pretty damn useless and just more of a gimmick too.
What Rust needs is fundamental additions to change the game as a whole. Proc gen updates to how maps render and how terrain works. A new map, like hapis. New ammo types with additional guns and attachments like improved weapon sights, underbarrel additions and potential grips/stocks. These would generally change Rusts combat DRAMATICALLY.
Additionally, the HDR port branch needs to become a focus. It looks amazing, however we need more and better terrain adjustments to make it worth, like the reintroduction of 2016 caves generation and cliff inlets to provide us with building variations again, as current, cave bases are utterly useless to build in.
I also believe that if facepunch did any of this, they would bring all of the old players back to Rust and have the new playerbase too. Console release alone wont save Rust, its a money-grab using a 2019 port of Rust to console.

I've played Rust for a long ass time, experiencing the bp system, xp system, partial bp system and now this weird system again. This one is better tbf, but I was one of the few fans of the xp system as it was pretty great as a player who enjoyed farming alot.
This game deserves alot better and alot more, but it is dying and does not deserve the £31 price tag. If its 50% off on sale, get it then and only then. This game gives you anxiety, it gives you pain, enjoyment and >insert dying inside<

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

*32 HRs more*:

Within the 32 hours extra gameplay, Rust received a major update on May 6th that revamped the entire map, with new prefabs, graphics and better optimisation. This is probably the most major update and largest stepping stone for this game to be worth the £30 for new players.
Do I think Rust 2021 is worth yet? No. But Almost.
Still recommend to buy on sale as these changes do not change Rust to the extent it needs to be to bring back old players. Features we still need/need returned? Old cave systems, new weapons, NEW ANIMALS/NPCS (like want list of Rust animals? Easy. Bear, Wolf (more like dog), deer, horse, boar. We dont necessarily need submarines yet because theres no way to combat them underwater. Improvements to cars would be GREAT, having the ability for a mobile home would be great af. Its not viable to use cars in PVP, or hot air balloons. We need better proc gen because the additions of more and more monuments just takes up building spaces. Theres rarely any large open plains in Rust anymore, when there used to be - and I believe monument gen messes with this hugely.
Bigger ability for bigger maps? A workshop for custom maps and mods, support a single player mode to allow people to have their own mini-server to themselves? We need these things to change rust as a whole.
May 6th, didnt do that - but its on its way.

Updated Review: 03/05/24

While Bethesda has done horrible, disgusting things in the past in terms of merch (which shouldnt be forgiven nor forgotten), Fallout 76 is now in a state I would say is not only acceptable but a fun game to play.
As a fallout fan, you might not be 100% for it. Some lore aspects are ridiculous and the fetch quests are horrible but if youre into live service games and enjoy roaming around with the chance of players, its really fun. the base building needs some extra work cause honestly, it needs more decor outside of the atom shop.
expeditions are a really fun thing imo. the loot is really rewarding and especially if youre bringing your best gear, it actually feels like a challenge.
future content of the game, from reveals and gameplay, looks extremely promising too.
Based on just the game itself, the playability that ive had with it after its fixes and content fills, I think I can recommend this without much guilt but still - its not for everybody and its not a praise of Bethesda. They majorly messed up with this game prior



I played this ♥♥♥♥ before they forced it onto my Steam account. I have alot more hours than Steam showcases due to this.

ITS ALWAYS BEEN BAD, SINCE ALPHA IT HAS BEEN THE ♥♥♥♥ SAME....

I was one of the many who tried to get a refund to get petty atoms in return. Never forget what Bethesda under Xbox did. Don't look so brightly to the future of TES, Fallout and Starfield with horrible developers behind it with pure greed in their mind.
Nylon bags? Nylon jackets? LUNCHBOXES? P2W Mechanics? PREMIUM ITEMS WITH STAT BOOSTS? PLASTIC BOTTLES? LYING??

Does nobody remember literally all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bethesda forced their players through? How tf is this game positive when it STILL does the same bs mechanics.


My experiences include;
= Being chased down through buildings, around the map, from teleports by an immortal mole rat.
= Being chased by a swarm of ground ghouls, who were running at a 90 angle face down on the ground.
= A loud turret going off, ear-destroying levels, through loading screens, through relogs, through restarts.
= My stuff randomly disappearing from my stash, MULTIPLE times in single playsessions.
= Players with more OP items, duping and glitching to become invincible and target and harass players.
= Hackers
= Not being able to close the game, the menu stopped working and I wasn't able to alt tab or f4 out having to restart my pc, happened multiple times.
= Atoms disappearing, asking support for help to get ignored.
= Tried to get a refund, took 3 days for them to respond, then another 8 days for their 2nd response, in which they said time from purchase was too long to get a refund - *because it took them ages to respond to me in the first place and they counted that among the time*
= Toxic community who don't see any fault with this game at all, with members literally stalking me cross platforms.
= + more.

If you buy this game and attempt to refund it if you are unhappy about it, GOOD LUCK

Make sure you close this game, as it runs idle in the background and doesnt show on tabs but contributes to your gameplay time. I have literally spent like 20 minutes on this game but because idk about cars well, i wanted to at least give it a shot with playing for the 2hrs, *as literally everybody does* - but i only put 20 minutes of actual gameplay into this.

With running idle, I somehow racked up 6.2 hrs (because i leave my pc to rest when i sleep).

I put this as a STRONG negative against the developers because why would you continue a game idle when the person exits the game? When you close a game, the game should close - period, and not have the ability to run idle in the background and rack up hours as you go afk or ♥♥♥♥ sleep.......
I put a refund request in before I went to sleep, came back to it being rejected - i wondered why, it said because i have over 2hrs - i was like, wait how tf do i have more than 2hrs, i checked task manager BOOM THERE IT WAS..
I tried explaining to be denied on the 2nd refund attempt.

If youre a car enthusiast, youd probably love this game. If you wanna have a fun casual experience with little knowledge, its hard to do literally anything. if you just wanna try it, keep checking task manager.

This is an early access tier title for £50.

You bought it? Congratulations - you played yourself.

No excuse for lack of content, lack of life and poor gameplay make this *barely* even an RPG, I'd genuinely say this is on par with Outer Worlds. Great potential but - I hate to say it, EA Bioware would make better RPGs than this.

Do not listen to the positive wave, it's just diehard fans who won't take criticism and make excuses for a game theorised, produced, hyped and developed for 7-8 years. This game will get you around 20hrs to complete it, potentially reaching to 40hrs if you take your jolly time walking around to do so.

You want an RPG to live in? Play Witcher 3 - the ONLY good game CD Projekt Red has made. And hey, if you disagree with that statement, you're apart of what is wrong with gaming and why companies get away with petty promises when they butter you up. It's PR.

Positive Review to Negative: Here's Why..


This game isn't what you think or hope for.

After a good few hours more, I've come to realise a bit too late. This game has no current end-game nor does it reward your progress. From start to finish, its just the same continuous trog-along style that doesn't feel like youre actually achieving anything. Its hunting provides no valid progression beyond 2 quests and building a village is almost useless as at the end of it, youre not going to get very far. You'll chop down tree after tree until you need to go further and further away, if you find a large clear opening, you have to travel a fair distance overburdened for some time unless to run back and forth with tiny amounts of logs and sticks. Theres nothing in chests, besides 1 chest ive found in the entire game and from the sounds of it, youre not even intended to steal things as I believe the purpose of that 1 chest is to act as a placeholder for villager inventories as children age and such, the chest acts as a spawn holder for their item of use. However, this can be abused as since it regenerates every season (which are 3 days long), you can infinitely obtain money - (but dont tell the devs I know that).

I was very skeptical of this game and honestly, I think my thoughts were placed correctly. The devs already have 2 games pre-planned upcoming and showcased a VERY basic roadmap. They have no plans for mod support. No plans for coop/multi, no intensive combat or armour/weapon plans (yes, they literally dont plan for armour from their own Q&A in a Medieval game).

This game is looking to be the farming sim of medieval - - - remind yourself, what games tried that? Remember those games? Yeah... where are they now..... Theyre dead and some even got outed as scams (not implying this is, just that this game is not aimed to have a valid life cycle and is pre determined - in early access - by the devs to be dropped).

This game, honestly had high hopes for me. However, with developers already pre-planning the game's death - I cannot recommend this anymore as it is not going to be worth in the long run and is ultimately a game that will be wasted potential.

Rest of review is a few hours into the game and first impressions..

(you may criticise me for my stance on this as potentially being dumb, however any company with 2 titled preplanned for 2021 while giving a roadmap into the start of Q1 2021 for a game they released in Q4 2020... you'd be dumb to not question the extent of their plans for this title - I want this game to be the better kingdom come like the next person - however this is not it. They do not intend nor aim for anything even close to such, this is a builder/survival sim with no genuine combat focus as by their own Q&A by stating they dont intend weapons and armour - unless youre gonna fight with bows and hammers...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's Good.

If they add Multiplayer, Servers even - Coop... OOFT, it'd be great. AI is a little iffy and I honestly feel there should be more combat as combat is like minimal to almost non existent besides agro'd animals (boars, foxes, bears very rare seemingly).

Addition of workshop or dev kit would be *INSANE* and generally would fast-track this game development 10 times over.
It is worth the funds and generally, I feel deserves alot more focus and support from devs as I notice they have projects upcoming for next year and such which makes the question - how long will this game be supported....
