Don't Worry About the 'Time Limit'

When I read the reviews of this game I was really worried about the time limits that everyone was talking about. As a person who hates being timed/stressed in games for no reason, this was a real turn off for me, but I bought the game anyway since I I read there are other ways to avoid the time limit. However, I have never seen a time limit on my screen or anything like that. I haven't time any of my missions to see if they get to 30 minutes, but I always feel like I can finish them relatively quick on the hardest difficulty. The part that takes the longest for me is just stealthfully killing all the enemies. If you want to explore, I suggest doing the actual mission first since you have a portal gun which lets you leave at basically any time. From what I've read, the time limit isn't a "Game Over" or "Mission Failed" time limit either, it just means something will come after you, and you can either escape from it or kill it to get more time. It's not game-ending, especially since you can build walls and traps (if you have the materials) to help protect yourself. If I actually encounter this problem, I'll edit my review talking about it, but for right now it doesn't seem to be an issue at all, as enemies in general seem to be relatively easy to get away from if you run away far enough lol. Not to mention there is a machine in your base that you can build which extends the time until the 'storm' appears. I don't know how much by, but if you really are worried or are hindered by a time limit, just build that. Overall, the game reminds me of a Fallout 4/Far Cry 3 mixup from certain aspects. Not saying it's as good, but you have to collect resources to build things to improve your base like in Fallour 4, but with the stealh-takeout of outposts feel of Far Cry 3. Gunfights aren't the best, but it's best if you avoid those altogether and stealth kill anyway. It makes you manage your resources and think about what you're going to do next. Great game for the price
