I've spent 8 hours in this game and I didn't like any minute of it. The game feels unfinished. The world is empty and boring. The NPCs are colorless; I couldn't care less about anyone. The story is not interesting and the whole place seems more like a sandbox with few things added than an actual RPG. Music is nothing to write home about either.
I've played some hard games, but they were rewarding and had something to keep you going. I forced myself to sit through those hours to get to the good part. It never arrived. You'd better not waste your time on this. If you wanna nostalgia, play Gothic or Risen,
For every thing you find you really love about this game there will be 10 other things you hate,avoid.
i can't tell if the developers were incompetent,spiteful or stupid but playing this game is like fighting the mechanics every step of the way.
This game right out of the gate is absolute garbage. From the fairly fates graphics to the terrible voice acting and idiotic dialogue. Then beyond that combat is like trying to drive a real tank in real life with only one person operating. NIGHTMARE. Beyond that the combat is so difficult that 25-30 hits on a regular animal sometimes doesn't kill it but it hits you 2-3 times and its over, this is on EASY difficulty. There's no clear mission to take that will be achievable in the beginning because you can't fight anyone or anything on the way which is clearly the only way to level your character to be able to fight these insanely monstrously stupid impossible to kill animals. This game is a COMPLETE waste of money DO NOT BUY IT!!!!!!
GARBAGE
This game has great visuals and will run well on even the lower end of the requirements. I have an AMD Phenom II X4 3.4ghz with 16 gigs of ram and an NVidia 750ti and I do not get much lag at all and 95% of the settings are on High. The only change I mad was to make sure vsinc was on. Physics and collision is rather well done. I did not expect this with my lower end gear, well at least lower end for this game. You wind up spending time just looking at everything, the shadows, the people, the plants, they are all a sight to see.
I am only 5 hours in and even though the game is very challenging you find yourself having a great time with the game. The only reason I didn't give it more stars have a lot to do with combat controls. I am using an XBox controller and combat commands are at times slow and clunky, you can't just button mash your way through combat. You have to wait till your action is almost done to do the next action. If you don't you will find that it will keep going through a buffer of all the keys that you pushed. So make sure that you take your time and don't just go pushing buttons.
A the begining of the game, after you get to the berserker town, stealth and slowness are your friends. You can kill high level critters but you have to be smart about it. You have to make sure you have room to maneuver and to retreat if you have to. You jet back will become your best friend. With open world, and it really is wide open, you will find your jet pack will come in handy, even to get back to where you started, if you want.
Pros:
Open World
Jet Pack
Lots to explore
Stunning views
Logical NPC interaction (if a npc says they are going someplace to do something, follow them and you will see them do it. You don't see that a lot in games.
Addictive, even when you die
Cons:
Brutal
Unforgiving (can get very tight at times in combat)
Combat not always responsive
Save often as you die a lot
It is a fun and sometimes confusing game but fun!
