Compelled to warn my fellow gamer, I write this review. I waited and waited for a sale and then just got bored so I splurged on this game to pacify the boredom of quarantine 2020. My bitterness only deepened the more time I sank into this clunky, ugly, busywork grinding, piece of underwhelming product. While attempting to justify my purchase and making it to level 25, I soon realized I’d been had. Graphics are on par with the year 2013 at best. Stamina deplete, stamina deplete, stamina deplete, animal attack animal attack, animal attack and corpse retrieval, corpse retrieval, corpse retrieval, rinse and repeat. And the animal attacks are just obnoxious like mosquitos 🦟 deep woods at night with no bug spray. And you’ll be retrieving your corpse so much because of how clunky the game play is. I’ve never cursed so much before other than call of duty. This “game” provoked an infuriating rage. If you are like me and you’ve been on the fence about the $120 complete edition May 2020 purchase, let me save you from my own fail; it is not worth it. I have buyers remorse for days. Pound for pound it’s the worst “perceived value” exchange I’ve had on any game (or any other purchase) in years. Going “all in” did not serve me this time. What a bummer, and waste of time in the truest sense. I deleted it I was so offended. Would have been more thrilling to burn the money spent in this case.
Things to consider:
I only played single player, no co-op.
I stopped playing at lvl 25. Bye bye 👋 $120💸
This game just wasn’t for me. Maybe it’s for you, but I like my gameplay to be fluid and somewhat pretty. I’d also like it to look closer to 2018 graphics at that price. At the very least, I want it to be rewarding.
