North Chaos
Kyle's Review of "North Chaos" - 4/5
Solid vanilla fun in Siberia. 4/5 stars.

North Chaos is a hidden gem. I'm surprised it flew under the radar considering its quality, but I'm guessing that's because it was originally posted online in 2021 as a two-map beta and it wasn't actually finished until 2024.

Despite taking place in the Siberian taiga, this campaign feels very vanilla. Aesthetics are detailed, locations are distinct, the pacing is rock solid, and it even has the Survivors talking as they go. The most unique idea here is having multiple paths to take in each level, but thankfully there's always signage telling you where to go so you don't get lost.

A lot of effort was put into making this mod feel official, but I think the finale is a step down from everything else. There are too many cars that Tanks can use to instakill you, especially near the rescue vehicle. I also got a little tired of all the mud and dull colors, though that's admittedly realistic for a taiga rainstorm.

Regardless, this mod is still recommended.

First of all thank you for such high rate. Never thought that someone will enjoy this campaign, but you guys, thanks to reviews like this, were able to awaken in me the motivation to finish it. Although of course it is still far from the final version (for example 3rd map is still in rework and soon will be uploaded, and more smaller things in others). Originaly it was made in 2017 :D. But some circumstances forced me to put everything aside.

I watch all the videos on YouTube with walkthroughs and carefully read the reviews to correct and polish all the shortcomings. Regarding the ending - maybe you're right, it's worth rethinking again. However, in my experience the tank at the end didn't cause any big problems with either bots or friends.

Thanks again for taking the time to look at my campaign, I hope I can live up to your rating! Peace!

Этой карте можно поставить уже 1000/10 только за пасхалку "Вы кто такие я вас не звал" )))
