Imagine if the SCP foundation made any sense, that's GATE.
I started playing Abiotic Factor around the realase of the hydro plant and found myself enthralled by the stories, locations, items, enemies, data logs, and emails to name a small part of it. More than just enjoy the game, its fundamentally changed how I view Survial Crafting games. Deep field has proven you don't need to make grinding a core part of your game, you can just attach it to every other core part in a way that endlessly feeds into each other.
Exploring and mastering the facilty has given me a sense of power I feel only batman could match as I vanish from my friends in seconds with only the knowledge of where I am to guide me.
While I have primarlly played solo, the co-op is truly where this game can shine. Making it not only rewarding to RP with your charater, Skill levels for preforming actions, but also easy to have a riot in. The local Voice chat is the final cherry on top to make the co-op experence something you can't find anywhere else.
Please let me own this game, my god it is so good.
I've already bought this game four times, I'll f*#%$!@ do it again
Here a little poem thing I made for the game
The old gods stir
Bound to the yoke of servitude
Their actions their own but not
The wolf sheds its wool
Weaving the fox into fate
Guided Through Paths already made
Always choosing to move forward
The mad believing they see a light
