Currently there is an issue with too much of "An enemy of my enemy is my friend", I cannot recommend the game until this issue is fixed.

Bad graphics, bad design, bad game. Not much else too say about this latest attempt to reinterpret a brilliant table top game.

A simulation that allows you play through the life and death of a village of lemmings.

Incredible expansion, a lot of fun new "pets" to tame and new weather events. Though the game is far more difficult than the base game, this pack adds a lot to it that makes the effort worth the trouble.

This is one of the funnest, most frustrating, enjoyable, challenging games I've played. With 900 hours played to this point and only having to pay $50.00, by far one of the best investments in a game. The graphics are incredible and the gameplay engrossing. I highly recommend this game, it will last far longer than most on the market now.

This thumbs down is primarilly to show Bethesda that I am dissapointed with their game, although I have been a huge fan of their games for quite some time and have no immediate intention to stop.

Reasons that I dislike this game
1. Settlement building doesn't work well, often times are spent moving pieces around without any real idea why they are not fitting together, which it seems they don't far more often then they do. It simply doesn't work.
2. NPC interactions feel to be too much of a dice roll without any real substantial options. You're given 4 choices and they are never fully shown, sometimes it is simply safer to choose yes or no because you don't always know where the other options will lead.
3. The game is far too easy even on the highest difficulty setting, including the new survival setting. It seems that the developers don't have any real clue as to what constitutes a challenge and poke around bllindly with damage settings hoping for the best, and failing.
4. Overall story telling seems to be getting neglected, most of it seems hollow and empty.
5. Settlements again. The size of the settlements are generally lacking in space, though some of that has been addressed with the newest dlc, the sizes of all of the settlements should have been dramatacally increased right from the start, why does it seem that in one of the best selling "open world" franchises our hands are being tied throughout the game.
6. Settlers are way too generic, glitchy and boring.
7. Although the graphics are fairly decent, it seems that much more could have been done with the overall texture quality.

I am a fan of the modding community which makes many of these compaints moot, but I think much more should have been done from Bethesda itself.

I would love to recommend this game, it has a lot of potential, but I can't. Between constant crashes, poor in game performance, lack of quality players for online, lack of weapons and equipment, this isn't a game that should have been released yet.

Elaboration(and edits)
1. Game disconnects(not crashes as posted above) from servers every few matches and I rarely manage to get through an entire match of BuzzBots without a disconnect.
2. Hovercrafts designed to go forward, back and side to side, there is no turning or up/down it gives a very poor feeling(not performance) to the game.
3. There is a very limited number of players in this game which gives very few options for playing against other players, with a substantial amount of the players seen using tricks like sticking guns through the objects they're hiding behind, this reduces the total number of quality players to a very small amount, making the PvP option at times unplayable.
4. Although there is a road map for the addition af new weapons and equipment, at this point there is only a few making most attempts at strategy laughable.

Wait until much later, when hopefully this is a better performing game.
Steam only allows for up or down reviews, and I cannot reccomend the game though I do not
think it to be outright bad. Purchase at your own risk.

Incredible watching on Vive, mostly just some 360 videos but some are truly awesome pieces of work.
Cryogenian and the first 90 seconds of Star Wars are my personal favorites.

There are some issues that need to be addressed such as slow loading times but seeing that a lot of this is new hardware I see improvements coming soon.
