Get an educated opinion first

I bought this game in Steam due to massive great critics you can find here, there and everywhere where users can rate a game. I did not find a single thing to keep me interested: the map is huge but it is empty, dialogues in tows are almost nonexistent, the way to level up is repeating the action (you get running points for running) which might be cool (Skyrim) but it is not, you are thrown into a vast empty world (as said) where savege animals, cannibals or thieves will hunt you down. In theory you will get stronger overtime and enjoy the game as many claim. And it may be true... ...but just in case, dont get fooled by the positive reviews (amazing how great the game gets rated on Steam but the discussion forum is dead long ago) and look for gameplay on youtube and less pasionate opions. This game stands as the only game I returned on Steam. Did I play too little time? Perhaps, but NOTHING kept me interested to endure. I have played in the last 2-3 years (for the first time, no nostalgia) games like Mount and Blade, Jagged Alliance 2, Fallout2, Arcanum, Vae Victis, Age of Decadence, Dungeon Rats), Hard west, Shadowrun. Dead State Reanimated, Siege of Dragonspear, etc... and loved most of them or at leat enjoyed them. Sometimes I fpund controllers or gameplay confusing but there was something that kept me coming back, maybe music, perhaps story, sometimes characters or the setting. Nothing made back to Kenshi, but perhaps it is the best game ever as many reviewers claim, just be careful.

One of an kind

Great game, very flexible, great mysterious story, complex, fairly hard, funnily realistic. Full of flaws, but great in each aspect of its novelty. Not woke also (a plus!). This game is about and great at: exploration, diplomacy, survivalism, clan building and revenge.

Great concept, bad design. Wait for mods

I love the ideas the devs had with this game, but it seems like the project was so massive that they didn't implement successfully half of the features. Hello, lvl curves: Skills in this game work in a similar way TES handles them. Except for one thing, in most scenarios (starts) you start with ones in all skills and unfortunately they don't do anything until at least level 15. Usually even 30. Why did devs decide to not let you choose a boost in, lets say, 3 skills? It's a complete mystery to me. You will still level up most of them rather quickly until 10 in vanilla. So what comes with it? Start of the game: How about an economy where player actually doesn't need the money? Why? Because you can literally steal everything. Get in the tower shop, hide behind the shelves to the left of the enterance and steal-drop-steal-.. nearby items until you got lvl 50+ (can be done on day 1). That's it. You won't need money for the rest of the game. Not for the trading purposes. And then you just run around town for 3-5 days in stealth so you can lvl it up. Sounds fun, doesn't it? And you need it, because travelling without stealth is dangerous. When does the action start? Not anytime soon. Because now you need to get all defenses up. By doing same kind of tedium. This game is Runescape on steroids. The World: It's empty. Especially in the southern parts. Travelling through the world, you will see gigantique robot hands sticking out of the mud, cannibal villages and robots with outfits made from flayed human skin, but does the game do anything with these assets right there, when you discover them? No. Literally nothing. You might have a small dialogue prompt only when you enter a region and it might have nothing to do with the POI you just saw. Most of the regions don't even have that. Also, any NPC can be made into a slave. Sounds fun, right? No. It breaks immersion. Put the Warden of the prison in a cell and they will be turned into a slave too. Nice NPC interaction there.
