Game was alot of fun, can be a little clunky at times. The woke nonsense was absolutely unnecessary though.

This game is another classic example of overpromise and under deliver. We were promised a spiritual successor to dead space and instead we got a 2 star game at a 5 star price. The best way to describe this game is “ clunky “. Nothing feels smooth from the movement speed that feels like there’s glue on the floor to the random spots where you can’t sprint for no reason. The camera angle is probably the second toughest thing you’ll face in the game only being beat out by the nonsensical combat system. The camera is in a spot where a large portion of the screen is taken up by the player character and things seem to pop out from every angle so sometimes you don’t see something until it’s already hit you. The combat is the weakest point of the game by far. You get locked down into a combat mode when an enemy is near that makes your left stick not move you anymore but rather dodge enemy attacks. It basically does it for you as there’s no timing or direction to the controls. You don’t have to anticipate when an attack will hit or even be swung at you just hold the left stick and switch twice then attack. The direction doesn’t matter at all every fight basically boils down to dodge left, right, left attack 3 times shoot gun. That’s the entire game. You do get a telekineses like ability that could’ve been fine without the combat mode but feels terrible to use due to the way this game’s fighting takes place. I’m absolutely dumbfounded that the developers tested this game and played it and said “ yeah this is good people will have fun with this”. I’m convinced all the good reviews are from people that were paid to play it. There’s no fun to be had here because the game has no difficulty beyond maybe the mandatory stealth sections. The only time you’ll die is because the combat was obviously designed around 1v1 melee auto battle and they send a swarm at you. Even the last boss is ridiculously easy and won’t kill you unless you’re the victim of the terrible combat mode not allowing you to dodge which happens. There’s a block in the game that’s all but useless it’s better to just dodge in every situation. The guns are basic assault rifle 2 shotguns and 2 pistols. There’s an upgrade tree that never really feels like it did anything. The only game change buffs anything seemed to get were the magazine upgrades so you could actually carry ammo and health kits etc. I do like the way you can’t heal mid combat because it takes forever so combat would be high stakes at all times if it didn’t basically play itself. Graphics are decent. Atmosphere is awesome especially sound design. Can’t decide if I love or hate the fact you can constantly hear monsters in the background even if none are nearby so I’ll throw it in the pro column just so there’s more to say good about it than just graphics

Game is fun but so full of glitches it's nearly unplayable. Of course techland and Bethesda are both known for glitch messes. Audio randomly drops out, survivor sense will not work at certain points, combat is fun, parkour is awful very floaty and not very intuitive. Sometimes you'll jump into a ladder or ledge and character refuses to grab onto it causing you to fall to your death.

Game was fun but the voice acting absolutely kills it for me it's terrible.

Game is great but it's getting 3 stars because it's extremely buggy.

My hopes weren't high that they'd capture magic like they did with modern warfare 2019 but this game feels like a 3rd party shooter from 2005. Not as bad as the God awful jet pack exo suit call of duties of the past but not very far above it either. Everything feels slow, the weapons just feel janky with everything from damage to recoil being horrendously inconsistent, the graphics look pretty dated imo, the multi-player maps aren't great and Miami is bad enough I won't play it again. Spawns are as bad as they've ever been and some of the animations for aiming down the sights are atrocious (stoner). I havent finished the campaign yet but theres nothing in it to hold my interest, zombies has always been kind of meh to me, this one can be kind of fun but again nothing about it holds my interest for very long. I dont have anything to say about war zone because I dont play it so I dont know anything about how it is. There is certainly some good to this game and improvements on some things but they're all eclipsed by just so much bad. Maybe the graphics look so bad because they're going for an authentic period appropriate look so maybe thats not an entirely valid arguement but the rest of it is bad enough that I feel they should issue refunds to anyone that wants one. At this point I force myself to play a game or 2 to try to get some level of entertainment out of it so its not a complete waste of $60, just mostly a waste
