This game is such a massive letdown.


The spawning mechanics are what absolutely RUIN it for me. I love the idea of just being another random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ holding a rusty AK, trying to take on a military base.

I clear out the initial group of enemies, and start looting, right? Only for a patrol to come back and catch me out of cover and gun me down. Makes sense, my bad right?

So I kill the first group and climb a watch tower and hide out of sight, waiting for the patrol so i can drop grenades on them.


Only they dont come back.

Okay, maybe it's randomized, I climb back down and start looting, only for that same patrol to come back again, and kill me.

Okay, thats annoying but maybe if i climb down i can keep an eye on when they come back, and so I do.

Only they never come back.

And the moment i turn away from the entrance, it immediately spawns in 4 dudes who instantly spot me.


This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game design, meant to force an artificially tense moment. I should be allowed to take measures against it, not just be FORCED into a situation where this occurs.

This has happened multiple times, often enough that I can only conclude that it is intentional.


Do not buy this if you want that TRUE stalker experience.

EDIT: The new update fixes the spawning mechanics but does nothing to make the world feel WORTH it to play, my inventory fills with sausage and medical cheese packs, there's nothing here in terms of loot variety.

Extremely disappointing, no mirth, no fun, just extremely awful ♥♥♥♥ back to back.


All of the jokes and satirical takes from the first two games are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gone.

Okay so,

Let's set some context here. Do I think Gedonia is a bad game? no. It's perfectly functional if a bit clunky, however I'm putting this review up to deter anyone who, like me, sees all the positive reviews with 100+ hours and thinks this must be a hidden gem.

It might be.

But after 5 hours of genuinely trying to get into it, trying to find the appeal everyone screams about, I have found nothing to justify the raving reviews you see on this store page.
Like I said, functional, but clunky, definitely not revolutionary.

The dialouge is badly translated, which I wouldnt begrudge, but in an open world, quest driven RPG, it's pretty damning.



The combat is about as simplistic as it gets, enemies will walk at you in a straight line and swing their weapons at you if they get close. if you block as they are attacking, they get stunned. That's it. I ran around for 5 hours looking for a challenge, and other than copy pasted enemies I found none.

The open world actually doesnt feel all that empty, like there are things to do/collect, but ultimately due to the extremely rushed dialogue, and bad translation, it is not exactly a good thing.


All in all I wouldn't call Gedonia a bad game, I'm happy for the devleopers success and everyone else's enjoyment. However, I would not reccomend this game to anyone.

UPDATE: I played 5 more hours, and found that the magic combinations can be fun, but the lack of diverse enemies makes it feel kinda pointless

One of the greatest, most freedom filled games you will ever play.

It's a game with save scumming built in as an in game mechanic.

Don't let the rough graphics stop you from one of, if not THE BEST single player experiences you will ever have

Never forget what we've done here.

The games industry has gone to ♥♥♥♥, but never forget the day we got to tell a greedy mega corp to go ♥♥♥♥ itself.

Now change your reviews to positive, and get back in there

It's good I guess,

The playerbase is filled with 10k hour pyschos that will camp you in your spawn for 40 minutes,

Legit trying to do the first mission out of the tutorial and im getting chained sniped by a guy I cant even see, using a weapon I have no way of getting.

But if you're into that it's good,



I guess.

EDIT: Nevermind, only play this game if you're REALLY into ♥♥♥♥ and ball torture.

It's less fun than a ♥♥♥♥ flattening.

It's bad.

It's REALLY bad.

The writing is borderline parody levels of bad, but parody is only funny for a short while, the WHOLE game is like this,

Here's a line of dialogue spoken by the main character without a shred of sarcasm or humor.

"It's not hate speech at all! It's the love speech of a stepbrother overjoyed at this stepsister's growth!"

Don't buy it, unless you're playing for your friends as a joke, this game is awful.

They learned from their past entries, and I can finally say I fully recommend this title!

This is probably the only time I'll ever say this; but the price is way too low for the quality and effort on display.

This game sucks,

It's good, the art is nuts, the gameplay can be absolutely brutal if you're stupid like me and dont use consumables, the different heroines are pretty good with some S-tier picks, Maphy for example is not a archetype you see all that often. the scenes you get are well earned, and do a good enough job to feel rewarding.

So why, after all of that hype up, do I think the game sucks?

Because it has absolutely 0 premise, the girls say 4 or 5 canned lines at you, but other than that there is zero interaction, which sucks because there is LITERALLY nothing else in the game other than interacting with the girls. you have to beat each one in increasingly hard match 3 battles, and your pay off feels so wack compared to how much effort you put in. There's no set up, barely any talking just BAM sex scene, and that's your lot. The girls go back to spouting the same 4 or 5 lines at you each one only has like 2 or 3 total cgs you can get, and without any over arching plot it just feels so skeletal.


But hey, the game is 4$ and it is EXTREMELY worth that price. I'm just btiching because I feel like the amount of effort they put into the art should warrant a more fleshed out game, I'd happily pay 15-20$ for a game with art this good, and enough gameplay to make it feel satisfying.

Thank you for coming to my extremely sad TED talk, I'm just as embarassed as you are that I feel as strongly as I do

One of the most immersive, and freedom filled games you will ever play, if you can think of doing it, and it involves war crime levels of violence and mental problems, then UnderRail will probably let you do it.

FEATURING:
Sneaky bear traps laced with paralytic posion hidden underneath a very noticeable gas grenade. enemies walk towards the gas grenade to disarm it only to step into my bear trap, and then die choking on their melting throat.

Abusing hard core drugs to ignore damage for 3 turns, using that time to crack several people's ribcage, only to run out of sight, slip into stealth, and watch with glee as they succumb to bleed damage.

And my most ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up tactic, Throwing a gas grenade at the front of a room, throwing a molotov at the back of a room, huring caltrops laced with even more poison on the middle ground, hiding a IED style bomb in the middle of the room, enemies run away from the fire, get poisoned on the caltrops, slowed just enough for you to set the bomb off, attempt to rush you, only to succumb to geneva convention violations.

Beautiful game, 10/10
