This game literally made me fall asleep TWICE! Its SOOOOO BORING!!!
basic blue humans as the mutants? They move slower than molasses. Bad guy army, slow idiotic robots. And some swarms of mad animals. There's no action, no drama, no cinematic, no pull or attraction to the story.
You wake up a insomniac. Your literally faceless wearing a yellow hazmat suit. You cant even change clothes. As an insomniac start game, SOMETHING has to be appealing to want to find answers. No family? No friends? No real stakes. You just trapped in a countryside quarantine zone. Blue spores make people hear voices in the dirt and then makes them turn by making their eyes go blue. what the heck?
The stars get is garbage. You have literally no safe haven to call your own, no fast travel, nothing. Storage is these vacuum vaults you only find in hostile environments thats a pain to get to. You can carry 16 items and 4 long weapons. Thats it. That is all the space you get for food, bandages, status cure bottles or various kinds, weapons, atom batteries, manuals, grenades, shrapnel grenades, moltoves, ect. 16 slots. Whatever else you find, you have to drop stuff, treck all the way to a storage unit you MIGHT have found or a random cache box for not even able to mark on a map, put it in storage then go all the way back and collect your stuff, you have to do this regularly or leave a lot of things behind. You cant put craft items in storage and can carry only 20 each. You think that alot until you realize how much it takes to craft things and how quickly they take up storage yet how little effect they have.
You cant quick slot any healing items. So if you need to heal, you need to find a safe spot away, go into inventory and hope you have some bandages, cake or tea or that you can craft some.
You cant DODGE OR EVADE in a MELLEE game! But you enemies can. Some you cant even kill! I shot a hazmat wearing mutant with a shotgun 10 in the head! There ended up being like 6 in the same room, and they cant be killed? What the heck?
NPCs can block your path, trap you and crash your game.
To earn skills is a freakin joke! It takes forever to get the skills and you cant even get the skills until you find the random manuals somewhere in the world that opens up the second and third line of skills in 4 different skill groups! I can't even look to see what they are or do so I can maybe strategize on saving them or not. I cant even tell if you'll cap out on skill points or actually get all the ones you need for all the skills.
A broken game is frustrating but some patches and recoding can fix that. fix the broken audio, the game crashes, the glitches screens. A game THAT expensive shouldn't be that terrible upon launch.
But the audacity to ask that much for a BORING game? There's no repairing that. . That was a bad life decision on someone's part to give the wrong person reigns in game developing. I've stayed up for days playing solitaire, overcooked, even the little sushi robot game, a goat simulator game against my better self esteem.
This game is more effective than my insomniac medication!
