Like the last XCOM if you get a losing streak the game somehow grabs hold of it and continues that losing streak. Unlike the last game this has more BS to it like Alien Physic mind control one of your team mates while they make an enemy u killed a zombie and shooting you at the same time and moving into a new position behind cover.

Another situation I kept facing was these new snake enemies that would grab hold one of your squad mates from almost what it seems across the map and their critical chance / hit chance is less then an average enemy not to mention they can do AOE poison damage and that damage lasts the entire mission until either u heal them or they just die and then you have to choose between running to your team mate and healing them or saving your team mate that is being bound and killed 1/2 points of health per round.

Want another cherry on top ? while all this happens your squad mates no matter the level always choose to panic just because they are poisoned or has been hit once and you think "Well that only lasts one round" yes and your right but if they have any kind of effect on them they come out of a panic and then go back in due to the effect on them oh and also the little physic alien can also make your soldiers go into panic as well...

Great game but I feel the programmers really let down the whole game due to allowing enemies to be able to combine everything to make you lose and to catch on to "Hey your winning? Time to start your losing streak.. Want it to stop? Nope! make a new save"..

Saw Steam Sale: Bought it.
Downloading it: I guess I will see how this is. Seems like it will just be a grind to just drive around delivering things..
1st Day: 13.9 hours.

When you put on your favourite radio station and just drive you lose yourself.

Also $1200 fine for missing my exit and plowing through cars to exit instead of wasting another 2 hours back tracking with 100% worth it guarantee.

10/10 game for mechanics & aesthetics.

Things I hear a lot about the game.

The Bad:
I don't know what to do.
Game is hard.
Can't do anything.
Steep learning curve.


The Good:
Great for anyone wanting to get into cyber security.
Good real world applications with freedom.
It has a deep system of mechanics.


My Review:

Short:

Go get it if u like to write and program and want to take up a new skill for future use and if u want to test your knowledge and to me the game is fun.


Long:

I am a video game programmer but only know C++ & C#. This game uses a mix of Java and Lua and possibly Ruby so I when I read source code for the individual Exploits I can understand some but not much which to me is fine because I like to learn GrayScript and build my own Exploits which if you don't know what they are just to give u an idea they programs that once activated can help u get into networks and systems with out needing to know "How to Code".

Starting off with playing singleplayer it takes you through the tutorial as to how to start hacking your first network.

After its finished your on your own but because of the freedom of the game you can basically do whatever you want. Want the most OP tool ? Download the git repo in a terminal and your done.

Want to start hacking networks like Banks? Go to the website of whatever u want and grab the IP and start breaking down their network.

Want to do jobs that pay well? There is a endless job board and when you play multiplayer there are player bounties if you really want to try out your luck.

The Mechanics of this 7+ year Early Access game really shows especially since its a single developer doing it.

This game Maybe a niche but if you get any hacking like games this would be the top of the list and it's not even done yet with alot of new and interesting things coming down the pipeline.

I would recommend this to anyone that does not mind a gamification programming like game that teaches you new coding languages and how go be a real world cyber security specialist.

The multiplayer portion of this game you will hear about people hacking your network and tearing it down only to have you reset and its true that can happen but I have not come across it yet and even though I have made progress I don't mind the keeping a strong defence and corrupting logs to hide your IP and even if u do all that u can also secure your desktop using a custom exploit so no one but root can do anything in ur system. Its a fun and exciting game especially in multiplayer and look forward to future updates.

I have been playing for a good 2.5 weeks now and I honestly can't stop playing. Its not the grind that keeps me going its the unlocking new and fun ways to play the game. Before when I started I just had a base with conveyor belt spaghetti at Tier 5 and than thought nope this is inefficient so I destroyed the whole thing and took all my resources and moved to another place on the map on the water so I can have a proper factory and you know what it worked and It is so much better now.

The trailer does the game justice and is exactly all that you can do in this game.

The ♥♥♥♥ are the grind and the tutorial is next to none and you have to basically work out the game yourself. You have a voice after every unlock that tells you about what you unlocked but its very vague and un helpful and to the style of the game should be a database of all tutorials for each unlock with a small fun video showing off what it is and what you can do etc. Another caveat is the scientific nature of how things work in game with how the water pressure works and oil pressure as well as how you have to do some maths if you don't look it up just to find out what makes a better recipe and efficiency for the power usage and fuel etc which does not seem too bad but if your a casual player you just want to play so maybe something to help curve it like give the player hints to what would be better used in the game.

A update I would like to see in future are little robots that can go and help collect wood and leaves at tiers 2 & 3 because the bio generators are very hungry at the beginning and was forced to just go out on adventures to just collect resources and that's cool but thinking of all the other power generators that are self maintained once you feed it a conveyor belt and a pipe than you are set but Bio has none of that and being early on you have limited weapons to just 1 and you don't have much in the way of trying to build your base as you are often out and grinding to get 5k plus in grass and 1k+ in wood just to turn it into fuel for the generators.

Either way would I regret buying this game? nope. Would I recommend this game? to someone who has a brain that can think and to someone who does not mind no such tutorial than yeah them.

Lets get this straight.

This games story which I have completed sucks completely and would skip every single tutorial section and dialog etc but got the idea of what happens. You basically try to save or destroy a tree of life and choose members along the way to leave the world with you in the end or not. These members give you stuff through out of the game that makes playing enjoyable and you are trying to kill or save your mothers killer.

That is the story but you must be thinking well that does not seem too bad.. Adding the bad Narrator and why NPC's can not talk and you need the narrator to tell you what they said even though the subtitles are on the screen which you can't turn off the narrator and most basic things are never shown or taught and when they are the controls by default only favour controller as the mapping for keyboard and mouse are quite bad like who uses alt in their normal game play battles that is used to DODGE!. thankfully you can change this and I did but still was not the best choice by developers.

Not to mention most of the things you do for the NPC's for the story has nothing to do with the story its just hey this is broken fetch me stuff so you can use it to defeat bosses and progress. After that you can put them on the "Ark" or not and that's it. Nothing really satisfying about the story or enjoyable and the narrator just makes it 10x worse.



Why did i give it a thumbs up then?

Open world
Endless customisation to character and weapons.
Endless collectables.
Endless mounts to enjoy.
Endless side quests.
Additional story timelines with different tribes to join and different decision making.

At end of the story you can come back and start a new game with all ur customisation and go collect more if you want.

Nothing else but this games customisation and endless stuff to do and get keeps this going for me and nothing else.

If that ain't you then don't buy the game. If you like things like that then get it and ignore the story or complete it like me in 19 hours and enjoy the rest with a new game+ session.

The Good:

First 13 hours of the game and its fun and better than most survivor games in early access most due to the inventory system as I am sick and tired of seeing the exact same UI based box system and trying to put items inside of a box. This is a interactive game object that keeps your items and its a great addition.

Enemies also have a better experience being with the tactics to take down certain enemies and also having a enemy AI that is different per enemy and how they stalk your character is quite a refreshing take on the survival experience.

Performance is also good and yet i don't have a high end rig. The best option if you ever have issues which i do on my lower end gaming laptop is the dynamic resolution and it actually works if you can't max everything and don't want to play with settings. Just set it and done its all good to go.


The Bad:

Only 2 spawn locations which I guess does not say much but its repetitive and its you trying to get one spawn location because the beach is the more benefit like spawn locations because you get items that you have to look forever for like cloth just down a little way and not just one but a few cloths and your not far from objectives compared to the snow either and your next to the cave where you get the shovel which is basically the tool u need and yes its behind a wave of enemies but all you need is grenades and to run around the coast a little and get the gun and come back too.

The endless glitch which is you stay in the spawn location or just any location with a bunch of items you want to take or need in great supply and just take all the items and save the game with a tent exit and load back in and there its all refilled with the items u had before and you can keep doing this over and over and get more and more items until you basically have enough grenades to nuke the island.

Load saved games glitch is also another glitch in itself not only being like above but you can have a fort you spent hours on like me in getting logs for and you go to save the game either on location or in the bush somewhere because u got something u don't want to lose and you come back and guess what no more fort and logs or stockpile of items like sticks etc so now you have to start from scratch in your 20+ day game..

Game does not work or display assets or AI not working correctly? Save the game exit and load back in and it works again like magic.. Seriously this should not be happening and should just have something in the background making sure everything is functioning correctly.

AI issues are also another thing u ask him to get a log and follow you ? well he gets a log and stands there and does not come to your location and when you click on him again he throws it at you while ur trying to give him the same command again and can hurt you to the point if your low on health and kills you. Another issue is asking him to clear 20 meters from the location your at and he takes down 1 tree and goes back to base like yep i am done like a bloody 2 year old. Can't even collect logs unless its right next to the base to put into the holder. My AI died from enemies because apparently they don't fight and just take damage and die plus there is no command to ask your AI to guard your base just stay at the base or chill like how hard was it to make a AI kill an enemy if it comes in close proximity to the location..

Spikes are another thing you should know that do not work as intended. So yes you can put spikes down to guard your fortress but you know who it effects? Not the enemy mutants because you know they just walk all over it and jump over it like its nothing. But you come into a close enough proximity to the spikes and boom ur dead no oh u got hit once and take a small amount of damage nope just dead straight away nothing to do with your health..

The shovel is the most game breaking item in the game because once you get it you can do everything and anything and all it takes is one lot of enemies in your way. The survival all depends if you have 1. the gun and 2. the shovel and everything else is easy. Should of made the game a bit more challenging than a horde of enemies then you get the end game.



I know this is a early access and i know there are updates coming out for it but the game right now only has some innovative survival aspects and that's it everything else is either broken or is broken and so many features are left out that the game just feels like why was this not in the base game when it got released into early access..

Will be updating in 6 months to see how this game turns out for updates and fixes and if it does get better down the track. But right now if u want a game that works this one does not.
