well where to start with this pile of garbage.. i will put few points why i would not to play this game until major updates will restore and fix the game becouse its not worth my time
1.PERFORMANCE! i got a 3900x and 6800xt with 32 gigs of ram...i run 4k resolution to have no bottlenecks...i played this year wukong on cinematic with fsr quality with 60-70 fps...my GOTY.. what an awesome next gen level game...i played warhammer space marine 2...insane graphical game on 4k full details fsr quality 40-50 fps...and last i played indiana jones on gamepass full supreme details on native 40-50 fps...icant play stalker2 on that settings. it runs like dog water...only ultra performance is usefull but the game looks like trash...the people are still reporting gamebreaking bugs that can lock out your progress..framegen puts on a LOT of latency!!!.no thank you very much...the village bottlenecks a 7950x3d on 4k WTF!
2.shooting models is not that fun
3.ai is really trash..but thats for a long rant in terms of modern fps...this one is really special...basically they didnt finish the AI life solution for the world npcs ...in a hurry they did it only proximity based...in short this solution creates basically random spawning enemies worse than in COD campaign since this is open world.AI in modern shooter videogames is the worst
4.open world...yeah you are stalker full of money and cant buy a freaking motorbike or something...you are walking vast territory where you kill stupid AIs,ugly stupid dogs and bulletspongy monsters with very underwhelming busy work and fetch quests.is this the famous stalker?just a more atmospheric version of the far cry formula?becouse joseph seed pretty ♥♥♥♥♥ on all the characters in this game...
i can deal with points 4,3,2 becouse a lot of modern shooters are kinda undercooked these days..but to release a game in this kind of technological state is almost criminal and almost called a scam....
i will unnistall the game for now...i will return to it in a years time and try it again and change my rating

well probably my biggest dissapointment of 2024

pros :great graphics and awesome punchy sounds,soundtrack is da bomb,story is ok at best
negatives : everything else...coridor like COD,horrible clunky combat,same 5 enemies all over again for 6-7 hours,6 weapons only,some bugs still(mostly my NPC stuck on elevator),coop missions are boring and multiplayer already with cheaters...EAC is junk

i would recommend this game only at a deep discount and play it with friends in full coop...that would be fun...as a solo experience its really painfull...becouse if you want all the shiny gear to fancy your marine you need to grind for it a lot in coop mode...meh not in the mood...

update i change my review to upvote...the studio wants tu support the game for a llong time...they working with community and are very based...which is a rarity these days...you deserve it...

one of the most cultural gaming work of art ever made...my top ten 10 game i ever played and probably goty of 2024...only stalker 2 can top it out...but i doubt it...
playing this on a 4k monitor looked like a new generation era gaming
i will put my opinions in quick points otherwise this will be long read...you can make a dissertation thesis on this game...

1.its not typical souls game....its more in the spirit of jedi fallen order or darksiders 3 which i like...actually i can stretch that to a boss rush game like megaman sometimes
2.better to buy a good pc to really enjoy this...you can tweak a lot of stuff through fsr or dlss but man you need to see this maxed out
3.combat is decent...iwas little disspointed that there are no really like long string combos for more fun and immersion as monkey king...but its alright..some bosses will require skill respec to beat them more quickly....
4.story depends how are you good with chinese mythology...chinese mythology is based lot of times on antromorphic characters...i guess some people will love it and some hate it...
5.i was really suprised how the chapters are diverse of content and artstyle...all the six chapters are so different what is kinda unheard of a game that is like 70 hours long...with all the stuff done...even elden ring starts to repeat some assets after 50 hour mark...

some minor negatives ...some bugs,some hitpoint issues on spider like bosses,some would says its too demanding pc HW wise,combat could be for some people too boring and for a souls fanatics the difficulty too easy...
ok thats it i am gona finish this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ now

not good....
i was back in my youth a big fan of vigilante 8 on ps1 and interstate 76 .so i was really waiting for this style of a game for a long time....

first the pros
good graphics.. runs fine even on 4k with fsr quality preset...
nice sounds
vehicle handling is pretty good
F2P

negatives
bad balance...some classes are way to powerfull and way more fun than the others..needs damage balance and some classes complete reworks
2 modes/maps only....i like the classic tm deathmatch.that bomber thing is just a gang the bomber guy which complete destroys any interesting flow of the game..hate it...maybe the mode will work fine...but in this day of age when you get sweats vs noobs no chance...and lot of players have sometimes 200 ping
2 vehicles behind paywall and grindfest...i gave them at least 10 euros so i can try one. no intention to grind another to level 12 battlepass or 50 kils in 10 meter radius no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ way...the game is too borin for that...bought also the scrap 25scrap/2day bonus didnt do almost anything to BP.. too grindy...

needs balance,needs more modes,needs maps
will try it once more with healer and meele tank becouse this classes at least have some meaning are probably the most fun...the foundations of this game are pretty good but it needs a lot of work...dont know...probably the game is DOA...if the balance would be better/more interesting i would give it a thumbs up....but this way ee

3900x and 6800xt....not playable at 4k....2k 35-40 fps...unplayable until you got an absolutly beefy rig....graphics options doesnt do much....
nice sounds thou
refund..

so until they fix the crashes for some systems the game will get from me a downvote.playing a game with constant crashes every 30 min is very annoying...
so positives
cool and engaging story with cool thematic boss fights...decisions are really made out and are interesting....
pretty solid graphics played on 4k
nice ambient music
negatives
meh combat,meh rpg elements,meh level design,meh empty world to run around and doing stupid bussy work
constant crashes on my system.
buy on sale or buy new horizon better. its more flashed out game for the money.
UPDATE:the game doesnt crashes for me...with this fixed iam upvoting this...
if you want a story rich game even the gaemplay is a bit meh... take it...

one of the best tekken games ever made.....execution is more friendly,heat is kinda good and characters finnaly have some identity...best story mode probably in any tekken...

online is still wonky you need really to play it only at 5 bar connection otherwise you get 100+ms console players on wifi...
and yeah for the console wifi players...if you are so lazy to get the wired connecion pls consider to buy a wifi6 router like
TP-Link Archer AX55 Wi-Fi 6 WLAN Router....i know it cost 80 bucks but it will help at least with the stability....

update....until bumco doesn fix balancing and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ netcode/matchmaking this game gets temporarily a downvote...also intruducing all the mtx bulljunk and battlepass right after all reviews is really scummy...probably the worst battlepass ive ever seen in a videogame

Update2:still problems with balancing...even after 2 updates...dragunov,yoshi,feng,nina...netcode still ass,horrible ranking system...greedy mtx practices...even after collectors edition woth the big mousepad namco still charges me for freaking stages....DQ a great chinese player becouse he is chinese....let this company rot....

gameplay ♥♥♥♥,weapon feedback ♥♥♥♥,artstyle ♥♥♥♥,monetization ♥♥♥♥,optimisation kinda ♥♥♥♥,foc ♥♥♥♥,TTK absolutly atrocious...a lot of guys say its more slow than beta actually i would speed this game up..good game for few hours..porn is more fun than this hot garbage...

best robocop game to date....7/10

jeez this was just a blast to play....one of the greatest dlcs ever made...basically its re3remake but for 10 bucks/euros.
