Already available in early access at the other store for only $30, this single-player and co-op game is being made by some of the developers who created the Metro series. However, the style of La Quimera is fully like the Far Cry and Crysis series in being humorous, mercenary and squad-based, and set in a near-future open world. Think Deus Ex in South America.

If this sounds interesting, it's already in the GOG Dreamlist so be sure to vote for it. Watch the trailer and some gameplay posts on YouTube. It would be ideal for the GOG FPS library!

Some screens are attached.

None of that sounds (or looks) traditional, but I'm glad someone sprung for the inverted Mexico Filter for this game. (That weird tint is really detracting from the visuals.)

For what little value my opinion lauds, I tend to think of a traditional FPS as a person (of unspecified appearance, Ageless-Faceless-Gender-Neutral-Culturally-Ambiguous-Adventure-Person. AFGNCAAP, but replace "adventure" with "Shooter".) and their shotgun.

No squads, no story, no future; near or otherwise. 1-6 weapons at most.

Half Life, for the innovations it did bring to the table, is closer to a traditional FPS once the tram ride is over. You don't make any major decisions, you are funneled though a majorly linear set of distinct levels/areas, and anyone who joins up with Gordon is ephemeral and likely expendable, too.

Doesn't look particularly good. Are you sure it's the game guys who made Metro? There were some graphically impressive games in that series.

Well, either way, I suppose I could maybe buy it once it's out of Early Access just to support Ukrainian developers.

Edit: Actually, wait, I don't know where you got your godawful screenshots, LOL, but the ones they got on Steam look A LOT nicer.

Plot sounds interesting, but lets hope there's a way to disable the 1000/10 level of Motion Blur & Depth of Field layered on there. I can hardly see the game behind it.

The screens are my own taken from one of the YouTube preview videos. The actual game would look superior esp. on a recent graphics card. And, the game isn't yet fully released. As for it being traditional, one comment posted to a YouTube preview playthrough likened the game to titles from the 2010-2015 era. So until GOG might manage to score Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4, or Atomic Heart, La Quimera would be a solid addition.

Makes sense.

Atomic Heart is kinda shit, though. GOG can skip it and won't be any worse off for it.

Really, huh? That seems to align with part of one Atomic Heart playthrough I watched a coupla years ago. Still, if GOG gets it, I'd be inclined to give it a shot. GOG can use all the FPS titles it can get.

Nothing's wrong with giving it a try. I played and even finished it, but only because it was free on Game Pass. It's not the worst game I've ever finished, but it's also very far from the best. I'd say middling but trending towards bad.

As a game, that is.

As masturbation material for those who are into the Soviet aesthetic, it's a 10/10 masterpiece.

It is a bit murky. La Quimera is being developed by Reburn. They were once part of 4A Games, then known as 4A Ukraine, who made the Metro games. However, 4A Ukraine split from 4A in 2014, just before the start (or in the beginning?) of the development of Metro Exodus, and became their own studio. Reburn has development credits on Metro Exodus, but it is not entirely clear who made what. They were definitely involved in the Metro games before 2014 as well, but again, who did what exactly is a different matter. (And keep in mind that ‘I worked on game X’ can mean ‘I was the accountant’ or ‘I made the coffee’…)

LOL!

Ah, so it is a game trying to regale us from the Brown and Bloom era of gaming, I wondered.

Instead of my crappy screens, here are 3 hours of early access game play.

...Im still happy with Misery mod lol

People try to damn hard and fall flat when better mechanics can make for a better game.

Now if only the litterbox of AREA could be cleaned....a gift from the gods that would be.

Ltterbox of AREA? <----- I am confoosed.

Litterbox...um well it was my attempt at a nicer version of:
Stalker AREA is a box of shit. But if it were cleaned, it would be top dog, due to mechanics.
But given how broken it is....nobody competing has anything to worry about. The stability drops faster than a $5 hookers pants.
