The reviews are correct, it's fantastic. I've tried to get into "walking simulators" in the past but the only one to date I really enjoyed was "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice". This game is just as intense but in a more emotional way. I'm about halfway through and have added the next one to my wish list. Really cant wait to see what this company releases in the future!
I trusted the 5 star reviews too much, too much monotone dialogue, levels are empty, bland walking simulator. This does not compare to SOMA... Interesting story idea that reminded me of Ad Astra so I was excited going in, but everything just felt bland bland bland.
The constant camera shake before during and after combat for the ENTIRE GAME is just unacceptable. It's not even something you can mod out..
I'm soooo late trying out this game, but decided to grab it to see if my 4090 could overpower the flaws. I'm so glad I did because despite being a little clunky it looks and runs amazing at max settings and the gameplay reminds me of Skyrim + Defiance in setting and theme, and a little Elden Ring combat but not super overpowered. There's still mobs that can one or two shot you if you wander into the wrong area and are a brand new character though. I'm having a blast just casually doing quests and roaming and fighting small mobs and looting every little thing I find. The pacing of the game is perfect for me and there's soooo many paths to playing the game and where to put all your attribute and skill points into I can see myself enjoy several playthroughs. This will be a game I always revisit and I'm SO glad it came to GoG. I think I may have waited just the right amount of time to play this game. No it's not perfect in every way like a AAA but I guarantee you I'm enjoying it more than some AAA games as of late and catching it on the black friday sale made it a steal. Anyways, if you've got a solid card, and it's on sale, snag it!
4k, DLSS set to performance, no ray tracing enabled, everything else to max settings, getting 60fps of a beautiful yet slightly buggy game. Another game that was overhyped, marketing was mismanaged, and I feel like they did nothing but focus on pandering to investors which is probably the source of the marketing failure. Prob should have just released for PC only for a year, then polish it, work in user feedback, THEN release later on other systems especially old gen hardware. All that said, if it was a crap game I would have gotten bored after 10-20 hours, im 35+ hours in and have barely done any of the story line, so I'm happy with my purchase.
