Comparing no NV is pointless - the writing and even WORLDBUILDING is miles aheead in NV. Comparing to 3 - it has better equipment/weapon system. New perk tree is also awesome. But the writing got worse. If in 3 it was like Okay, it's just some backwater, in other parts of the world the world is different - the 4 answers no, it's the same everywhere. I mean 200 years have passed and everyone is living as if the bomb dropped yesterday? I would understand if they just exited the shelters, but they have been leeving like that for at least a hundred of years. And even the trees and other flora/fauna remained the same as 200 years ago - no overgrowing green lascape, everything is very barren as if the bombs dropped yesterday... Also no biodiversity in the fauna - you will not find anything new compared to F3/FNV, all samely old. The only positive thing is that after playing fallout 4 I have gained a desire to reply the Prey. just something about 2004-like game environment have given me a desire to relaxy in some immersive sim xD As for fallout 4 it's a solid 4/100 game. 1 point for equipment system, 1 point for weapon system, 1 point for the perk tree and 1 game for the game actually kinda being playable with no major glitches or crashes (of course there's a lot of minor ones, but at least the game is kinda stable which is already a lot for this dev xD) my scores: 1/5 - this "game" shouldn't exist 2/5 - I guess someone might like it, but I regret buying it. 3/5 - I had some fun with it and do not regret buying it. 4/5 - I had completed this game and/or had overall good time with it. 5/5 - It's a great game, one of the bestest of all time!
So I tried this mod since everything looks a bit "2004" on the vanilla version and I wanted a bit sharper textures - but hell if I cannot see the difference. Like I'm on 4k with ultra texture in the settings and everything looks just as smooth and without details as it used to. Litteraly nothing changed - but my pc now got heavy shutter (I'm on a previous-gen rig. i7-11700K + RX 6950 XT). Like it was smooth before but now it's barely playable... So yeah, the only thing it makes sharp is your framegraph, everything else remains as smooth and undetailed as before...
The dev's put some hidden drm in this game that completely breaks the progress...
I will be reviewing this game as if it only had one episode - since I felt satisfied after defeating the boss and believed that the game is over. The game is not boomer shooter - more like boomer rpg with heavy reliance on stealth. The bullets are quite rare so you will be mostly fighting meele - and I found hit and run or more precise pick up and die tactic works quite well and by utilising it you can finish chapter 1 in half an hour (it took me 4 hours since I like exploring). Now the cons: - controller support is very lacking. I wouldn't play it on steam deck for that reason. - the progression items are quite hard to find. I had to google the one from fort xD - chapter 2 feels out of the blue. Like you are watching the ending cinematic and then abrabtly BAM, we need you again. I ain't doing that, old man...
Game runs terrible. it has strange 62fps cap with constant shtutter an 1% lows at 2-12fps. The cutscenes are even worse - they are prerendered at what seems like 480p and run at 27fps (again very strange number). Also awful aliasing - even at 4k with max settings everything still looks awfully aliased. I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with my rig - the Awakaned run at about 144fps on 1800p upscaled to 2160p and I got relatavily top specs (i11700k+32gb3600MhzCL16Ram+rx6950xt). Dropped after 2hr since even though I liked the awakened for its cinematic horrors, I will probably stick with devs better works going forward. Honestly, I'm afraid of trying the Crimes and Punishments next, since it is an even earlier work of those devs. I pray that the story will keep me going there. my scores: 1/5 - this "game" shouldn't exist 2/5 - I guess someone might like it, but I regret buying it. 3/5 - I had some fun with it and do not regret buying it. 4/5 - I had completed this game and/or had overall good time with it. 5/5 - It's a great game, one of the bestest of all time!
Prettty fun game. I mean it's mostly just allright gameplaywise, but the visuals are top notch and I've never seeen anything like that before. A certain must buy, especially wiitth the discouunt my scores: 1/5 - this "game" shouldn't exist 2/5 - I guess someone might like it, but I regret buying it. 3/5 - I had some fun with it and do not regret buying it. 4/5 - I had completed this game and/or had overall good time with it. 5/5 - It's a great game, one of the bestest of all time!
Even after reading the comments praising the game, I was still surpised by the high quality execution (after all 2bit art style didn't gave me much assurance). BUT it was GREAT! I almost gave it 5 stars - my only complain is that it wasted part of its pottential - it had a great setup for a good bad ending but in the end it has given us a bad good end with some clieche motives... my scores: 1/5 - this "game" shouldn't exist 2/5 - I guess someone might like it, but I regret buying it. 3/5 - I had some fun with it and do not regret buying it. 4/5 - I had completed this game and/or had overall good time with it. 5/5 - It's a great game, one of the bestest of all time!
The game itself is very good. Main dialogues are all voiced and it also have lot's of the optional unvoiced lines. RP aspects of the RPG is implemented very good and combat is very enjoyable. The art style itself is very pretty too - I would say it's on the AAA level. Now about the bad - optimization. There's a constant shatter, I'm playing on 4k and getting 90-144fps on both lowest and highest preset with 1% low at about the same level - but no matter what I do, the 1% lows are falling to 10fps every now and then and I can see the game stop at those times. I tried everything - switching to dx11, vkdx11 (the shtatter is gone, but vulkans sutter is evcen worse), etc. From looking it up, it seems lots of people were having the same issue on release... Overall I got tired of feeling nausaeted while playing and decided to abandone it at 18hr mark (about 60% of the game) my scores: 1/5 - this "game" shouldn't exist 2/5 - I guess someone might like it, but I regret buying it. 3/5 - I had some fun with it and do not regret buying it. 4/5 - I had completed this game and/or had overall good time with it. 5/5 - It's a great game, one of the bestest of all time!
Had lots of fun with this short and lovely adventure. You should try it too! my scores: 1/5 - this "game" shouldn't exist 2/5 - I guess someone might like it, but I regret buying it. 3/5 - I had some fun with it and do not regret buying it. 4/5 - I had completed this game and/or had overall good time with it. 5/5 - It's a great game, one of the bestest of all time!
I absolutely loved it. It's funny, well made and awesomely cute. Perfect price too - I think that the art of this class worth whatever the artist asks for it - and this one I can afford xD For all those who value their games in "hours" - there's only one at most, but believe me it's totally well spent.
