Finished the game after 61 hours, 100% completion and I have to say, this has to be one of the best games ever made.

Art, Music, Characters, the platforming, the combat (my god the combat), amazing work by Team Cherry. Can't wait for the next one (pls make a next one or even DLC)

(SPOILER WARNING)

Will start off with the bad things that I personally feel could be improved / changed :
1. The reveal of the final boss should only happen after defeating the rest of the bosses
2. Playing as a duo and trying to find a 3rd player takes a long time for some reason. We had to close the game and re-open it to 'fix' it.
3. Some bosses cause frame rate issues for a couple of seconds, mostly the 2nd boss, Adel Baron of Night, when it goes into its second phase. This will probably be fixed in a future patch
4. The climbing system could be slightly improved. There are times when your character could climb / clamber over something but instead jumps up
5. The ping system is very basic. If someone pings a location, it would be great to see who did it by showing their name as well.
6. Some locations do change and it won't always feel like the same, but you start to notice a pattern. I hope they will bring more variety / add maybe a new map or biome (tall order for a new map, but new locations on the current map could be done)
7. Would be amazing if when you play with your friends they can join you at the roundtable and you can walk around together.

What I like / love about this game :
1. The movement and the combat is almost flawless.
2. The synergy between characters. For example : Wylder, Duchess and Ironeye work well together | Wylder, Executor and Duchess seems to work pretty well
3. The music and the tense music when the circles starts to decrease in size
4. The bosses during the exploration are well balanced. The ones during at end of day also are well designed, even if they are recycled, I say this because some have new move sets that you need to learn. Have yet to fight all the night lords, have 1 more left but so far the only annoying one was the Augur
5. Exploration, although short, is fulfilling. The feeling you get when you upgrade your starting weapon to Epic or even Legendary is amazing, yes I do that sometimes because of the relics and the bosses I face. Finding a random boss or walking into a random even keeps you on your toes
6. The story so far is a lot easier to understand and digest than previous installments, although you still need to do some reading and each character has their side-mission / stories you can do. (or watch a Vaatividya video about it)

Overall this game for me is a 9 / 10 experience and I will be playing it for a long time. Hope they will support it and add more content for at least 2 years.

Even after playing Elden Ring, this game still shows why it is GOTY.
Amazing combat, amazing setting, music and boss fights....PEAK!

Solid 8 / 10 for me. The atmosphere, the story, the music, the mechanics, barely having any resources, the silent moments when you walk down a long dark hallway only for your light to die out, all of these scream Metro Last Light and 2033.

Was hoping to have a chapter in which you explore the city, see the ruins but sadly we only got a small section of it.
The A.I could use a bit more work but most of the enemies are fun to fight
Also there are no stations like in the other games where you can just relax, buy gear and listen to people talk.
Crafting would been a neat mechanic as well.

Hoping they make a sequel. Amazing game!

We proved that we had the strength and courage to be FREE. Managed Democracy prevails once more

If you enjoy OG games like King's Field then Lunacid is for you. The atmosphere, the combat, skills, music (the music is extremely good) are all top notch

Since it is an early access game I can't criticize it fully but what I can say is that I love the direction & passion put into this game. I'm hoping it will continue to evolve and have more people playing it in the future.

Pros (for now) :
- Sea of Thieves but in VR
- Good VR controls & a smooth experience so far (no FPS drop, no crashes, running on a 3060 Ti)

Cons (for now) :
- The bucket is a bit annoying to use when you want to put out the fire. You have to be careful how you move in order to not spill it (don't know if this is intentional)
- Ship's moving even when you have your sails up. (hoping to see it like in SoT where your ship slows down, then stops)
- Picking up items can be a bit frustrating since it overlaps with your waist inventory

Will continue updating my review as the game's development progresses.
I highly recommend it if you like Sea of Thieves and pirate theme games & movies.

Ignoring the performance issues on day one, this game was a pretty good experience. It was more action packed than I thought it would but the horror elements were on point. Solid 8 / 10 for me.

Put around 300 hours in the game and spent a lot of time in the competitive ranked playlists (mostly solo duo controller playlist) and 8s / scrims custom games. A lot of crashes during important games and tournaments (FACEIT tournaments), a lot of de-sync and rubber banding, broken custom games where you have to change from your team to observer mode and back to your team in order for the game to not shuffle everyone in the lobby and of course lack of content and significant updates.

The game needs to run at specific configuration based on your hardware (some might have less crashes playing at LOW settings on a 3090 for example), so optimization is almost non-existent.

Lack of content like maps, game modes (Lone Wolves , Infection, Team Doubles, Team Snipers to name a few) and significant updates and fixes.

Theater mode is still broken, showing radar when viewing a game played on official HCS settings and de-sync issues while watching the clip (since it's shown from the server's perspective, which is why I believe having two separate options, 1 for watching it locally so you don't have de-sync when seeing the game from your POV and 2 watching it from server side when you want to see other people's POV)

No anti-cheat & no road map. We've been waiting for a road map since the game came out back in November.

Other Halos (like Halo 2, Halo 3 and Reach) had a better UI and you could see people's service records & ranks better, the UI was cleaner and more user friendly.

Not gonna mention the store since I don't believe that's should be qualified as "content" and because it's been talked a lot by other people.

The developers clearly have no clear leadership and it shows through their action (or lack of it), their attitude towards the community is unprofessional (example is when people pointed out the offset for the cyber visor and 343 developers pretty much made fun of these "eagle-eyed players"
