Better than a movie, I'm hooked. Will support any way I can to see this team succeed and make more episodes.

Beat the game, going to play through again to see other options.

good

Great game, glad I have a good PC :)

They fixed a lot of quality of life, I just wish I could have more dynamic keybinds, such as using a modifier (shift + e, ctrl + r) etc.

I spent awhile just figuring out how to best bind everything on mk/b, which is a small price to pay for the life of the game.

I have an i9 13900k and rtx 4080, I run everything high, with DLSS set to not upscale and I average 60fps. I hope in the future they allow us to turn off volumetric fog, in world that alone would boost your fps by like 30.

Keeping the game as a donation but won't be playing until its further developed.

Pros:
Theme, UI, Environment

Cons:
AI spazzing out, acting erratic and then turning into 8bit characters, I walked 10 ft in front of one on the way to extract and just sprinted by. They had a "?" symbol MGS style but I should be dead.

I'm not enjoying the third person --- > first person aim, its just jarring and would prefer a first person or if it has to be third person, more like Division 2.

Suggestions:

Combat: There should be a better mix of survival horror (hiding) and combat. I get that the theme is being a scavenger but people play these games to aim and shoot. I feel the most optimal play-style is just to rat out and hide 99% of the time. If that's intended then maybe this will just serve a niche community of people, I don't see the broader genre accepting such minimal action.

Immersion: AI needs a lot of work if you want to maintain the atmosphere. It's almost comical how they run around and either don't see you right in front, or snap on you if you shoot something. It's hard to explain but it just feels like something is missing, if the intention is to be slow paced, stealthy survival horror then the NPCs should be more menacing and methodical. To put it bluntly, it feels like I'm playing frogger.

Water:

I don't like it, because I don't like the game. It's a good way to reset the economy (if there is one) but in the current state, I don't plan on maining the game, and I don't want to restart. This leaves me with the decision of investing ANY time right now with the potential of resetting, which is asking too much for an entry level experience. I would suggest coming up with some lore to temporarily remove this until full release, or you will lose the opportunity to slowly indoctrinate players. TBH you just haven't earned that level of buy-in.

I'll keep my purchase, support the devs but I hope improvements can be made.

MAJOR ORDER COMPLETE

The SONY Corpo has been driven back from our system

Rough launch, understandable it happens. The skill system is in-depth, a happy medium between D4 and PoE. I have about 1k hours in PoE, and I put in 200 hrs in D4 the first week before realizing there's nothing to do once you hit 80. I could see myself playing this game for 500 + hours easily for $35 bucks thats a hell of a deal.

Aside from the server issues due to lots of players, I encountered 0 bugs which is astonishing. These devs deserve support, I'm looking forward to more from them and the indie dev scene. It's time for the era of pay pigs and AAA garbage to end.

Makes me better, lot of depth to this trainer. Best in the world

I can feel the Valheim inspiration, in a good way.

I'm still a total noob at 700 hrs. You could play this game forever

its magic, been playing forever and this game gives everyone a smooth experience
