Unpolished as hell.

Opening "cinematic". Cars don't go straight lines on such roads. I even thought it would go off the cliff at some point.

Next, i believe that Unreal Engine is capable of doing rope mechanics. Like stuck chains or lightbulb on cord that don't move. You can throuw something at them and it will bounce back but cord would remain in same position.

"Disappearing bottle trick". Threw couple bottles around and some of them just vanished... uhh... surroundings looks like stuck and not moving, so why would you even force objects to disappear when they clearly can't be generated?

Threw a bucket of paint to wife after yelling. I knew she has no soul and actually a robot! I even tried axe. Metalic sound on hitting hell yeah...

Yeah i clearly part of some "millitary" department and can't pass some "fence" and need to go find a way knife to cut rope on gates. i can't climb some obvious path in rocks and i also can't hit that rusty peace of metal covering large gap in fence. I don't think they was that soft back then.

Again surroundings. So i am in barn with that deer and now everything glued to floor. I can't move any barrel to help myself reach ladder. Like wtf? I can reach it by hand i don't even need anything to climb up from such poistion. But i am obviously need to look for some crate. Is main character 300kg fatty or what?

So overall it looks too fake for me. Like i am not even talking about that "quantum bantum hand analyzer".

I now hate picture frames... and spiders...

I was looking for something similar to alien shooter or subterrain and found this gem. It's in early access, but already:
+ It can give around 6-8 hours of gameplay,
+ It has skill and gear systems,
+ It has replayability in it,
+ You can just forget about main quest from some point and go hunt on your own.

The downsides:
- There are limmited number of sites, but i believe it would be fixed in future. I am hoping for bigger maps and variety of locations, like ruins, sewers, catacombs, may be mall building. But it's not there yet.
- There are still some "problems" with aim system.
- Some mobs dissappear or attack through walls.
But it's just how development of everything usually go. You add stuff, test in "early access", fix bugs, repeat from start.

10\10 would board half-track again


In case you aren't on german side, you can just steal the half-track. Though i am not sure how it works...

On the serious note: game can't be called finished in it's current state (i think 5 out of 6 bullets in game details aren't correct), but i personally like this type of games. If you join the right squad with experienced commander game can be really fun. So be sure to say "hello" and check if squad lead will do his job (mark stuff, request support etc).

i am still missing that Seamoth joke.

10/10 would hope to hear it again.

TLDR: They tried to make something similar to Gothic and they failed.

Long version:
Combat. The person who designed dodge mechanic should have some special "worst idea" award. It's insane. For example, I need to strafe left a little bit, then a little bit more, so i tap couple times A and woosh i make roll to the left. It might be fine if it wouldn't require my stamina. Couldn't you make something like SHIFT+A or SHIFT+D for rolls? It's irratating like hell since it's working outside of combat too! Imagine you using jetpack, jumping on tiny platforms and trying to manuver by hitting A and D keys. And of course character will try to f...ing roll.

Bugs are still there. Sometimes when i got hit in aim mode, i can't reactivate aim mode. I need to remove my weapon, then draw it again and only after that my right mouse button starts working properly toggling aim. There was a moment when i wasn't been able to even remove weapon after combat. At least quick save\load helped me there.

The jetpack is the next thing. Who the f..k thought that it's bright idea to make limited fuel that recharges over time? So there is a lot(actually not a lot) of "secret" places where you need to get using jet pack and i ended up doing 1 jump, alt+tab read some news, another jump, read twitter, another jump... Can't you just reset it on landing outside of combat? Make some "overheat" mechanic that cooldowns really fast once you landed and that's all! That blue/red bar... why? Red bar isn't even working everytime. Sometimes i landed safely with empty bar. Sometimes i can't activate my jet when i am falling even if there is some fuel in red bar.

Traders. They got limited amount, but all you need is just reopen shop to get stock refilled. Don't even end conversation. Just ask for trade again. WAT?! WHY?!

The world. Starting very promising with berserks village. And in the middle i got feeling that they run out of money or something like that. There are places with bugge texture positioning like one of the outpust of clerics, where some walls are just floating in the air. There are working lights in one of the pre-metheor houses (hey, who hired stalker dev?). There are fire barrels and torches everywhere with nobody who could light them!

Light. I like that tiny idea that your eyes need some time to get used to dark and i don't like NO FLASHLIGHTS when i see things like working radio, energy weapons, actual lights (at least in cleric and outlaws towns).

Story. I haven't finished yey, but it looks plain. Hey, you were betrayed go get your revenge. dot.

Dialogs. That voice change of some npc during exact same conversation sometimes makes me really pissed off. They will show you all the lines but don't even highlight unavailable (or use red color). So you would know that you can't choose some line only by clicking on it. Hello? It's almost 2018 here.

Now the things i like.
The bow from berserks village that they sell even to someone not in berserk faction, because it's OP and can kill even robots (wat? rly?).
The tiny dialogs between npcs after some quests. At least they tried to show that world is a living thing.

Overall, it's not THAT bad, but only with 50% discount and if you have a lot of free money.

P.S. oh and devs should have a yellow star with text "we tried" cut from cardboard by some kid.

Haven't played for a while. Got 3 speed tickets and 1 for the lights in 10 mins. Forced to check wiki for trucks speed limits in EU.

10\10 would get tricked by speed limit sign again.

I preordered this game long before and i suggest you wait before game would be properly patched before buying it. Yes i like surroundings graphics etc but it crashed 2 times in a first tavern. I am starting to think that "cd project red" becomes another ♥♥♥♥♥ company that concerns only about money and making DLC.

udpate:
I heard that they had same problems with previous games. But seriously if it so bad why not to change release date? I already paid when i made a preorder so i can wait a little bit more.
But what did did i get:
A game that hasn't even been translated to other languages (i don't think that subtitles is a proper variant of translation). I am ok with eng, but i think it's at least offensive to players from Poland.
A game that wasn't properly tested. it's ok in fight but hangs up in dialogs. srsly?

in response to Scouse_Geek comment bellow:
A game that asks you to pay later. I don't believe in FREE DLC since i already saw EXPANSION PASS in steam that requires me to pay. There shouldn't be such thing as FREE DLC because all content that is free MUST be added with patches or updates.

I think i will wait couple months and then try again and if they fix it i'll change review. But so far i cannot recommend it.

sorry for my eng :P

Like a main hero once said "what a f**king story"

Well first of all i like storyline and it has great atmosphere for such game but you really need a good pc for it and some times game is getting ridiculous. Like you have a torch in your hand but hell no you need to use matches for burning corpses or having only 5 matches in box. Did you ever see box that cannot contain more than 5 matches? I know i know it's game it has it's own rules it's not real but that's the point. When i meet such situations i starting feeling that it's just a game, you will respawn or reload whatever and all scary part is gone.
Also this game needs good pc, i have gtx560 and phenomX6 but it looks like i need an upgrade. I recommend to buy this game only when Lord Gabe will start selling it with discount.

Not finished but already looks awesome.
