This game, in it's current state, is a mess. The first thing I noticed after booting it up is how much worse the graphics are than the photos on the store page. Everything looks blurry, muddy, and generally uninspired. I thought my resolution was set to something horrible at first, but no, this is actually how it looks in 1920x1080...

For a couple hours, I explored a pretty generic looking open world map while getting raped by level 50 players with absolutley no chance of defending myself. Occasionally an alien that looks exactly like a necromorph from Dead Space would spawn, and I would be able to get a bit of XP from killing it. The spawns were few and far between, and the encounters themselves were pretty boring. I don't have any motivation to keep playing to gain access to new gear, because quite frankly the sandbox in which to use them is so uninteresting and uninspired. What is the backstory here? There's a big shattered moon in the sky, why? What's the deal with these aliens? Why is any of this happening? Nothing is even remotely explained to you, you are just dropped into this random scenario.

This game could probably be pretty decent if more work was put into it. It just doesn't feel like anything more than a super shallow open world shooter that was either rushed, or was never intended to do much more than get some of your money.

My main suggestions:

You need to do something about the game balance, new players will be immediately turned off by getting slaughtered over and over again before they can even find any worthwhile gear.

For the love of god, please do something about your renderer. There is no good reason the game to look this muddy.

Tell a story with your environments! We get everything is run down and apocolyptic, but why?


Overall, this game feels very early access, and I can't recommend that you pay for it in it's current state.

I`ve play tested many games, pre-alpha, alpha, beta. All of them have had the stats/ inventories reset to amke it fair. Most of those games gave you freebies/items, but they didn`t have any major efects, just showed you supported the game. But this is shambolics.

The biggest problem is highlited in your review. They never reset the stats and inventories of the players who played the BETA. THE BETA, MAN! I need to facepalm incredibly hard. In a sense, this game is P2W.

I found poking myself in the eye while playing gave me a better visual experience.:steamhappy:

You are complaining about graphics when there is an option that removes all the blurryness you could've simply asked in chat how to get rid of it.

I editted the .ini and bumped up all the graphics settings and set my resolution to my native 3440 1440 and the game looks 100x better.

Give Me Your Asshole, is that what you said to the dev team. You might want to pull the corncob out of your ass first or your boyfriend.

If your graphics look blurry or muddy, you need to turn off Temporal Antialiasing.

1. Listen it doesnt matter what the fuck cheap res you got, those screenshots ARE 4k on ULTRA. 2. The devs have announced day of steam release of the new player servers, but they could not be implemented until the weekend... maybe read about a game just a tad before you purchase, Live with your ignorance. 3. All those gripes you got boyo are just superficial.

P.S. 5 Hours is a joke. Don't review games under 20 hours of play time, or when you reach end game. You sir are stupid. When you have the ability to come up with a bullshit excuse to defend yourself just know... with that review... I already won C:
