This game is amazing for it's price! If you like STALKER, you will definitely enjoy Tunguska.

Pros:

- Great atmosphere, pretty good story and story telling for an indie game.
- Combat feels solid. There are a lot of guns and they all feel different.
- Impressive crafting system for an indie game. You can craft bullets and serums, repair weapons and armour, dismantle items, cook food.
- You and your motorcycle needs regular maintenance. That adds a lot of immersion to the game. You need to eat and sleep to heal and regain energy. Your bike needs to be repaired or it consumes more fuel. You have to talk to traders and local survivors for gasoline.
- The game has lavash and shashlik to eat. As a Tatar, I approve!
- Anomalies, halloween, airdrops, camp raids, visitation events... the game has a lot of things happening all the time.
- The DLCs are good enough. Especially Ravenwood is a pretty well written and fun. It is a bit like Resident Evil 4 lite.

Cons:

- Sometimes you receive serum orders but you don't know the recipe for them. If you decline the order, your reputation with that faction drops down.
- When you travel with your motorcycle, your character parks far away from the centre of the towns/camps. You have to walk a lot even with this fast travel system. But I understand the developer, so it's not a big deal breaker.
- I wish the game had some music, like Fallout radio.
- Some quests are a bit weird to complete. An npc wants you to craft something, but he doesn't tell you the exact recipe. So you go through trial and error. Sometimes you waste resources while doing this and you go back to farming those resources. Back tracking is tiring.
- Character creation and skills come with a DLC.

I give this game 8,5/10.

Worst game experience ever.

I started the game on 6th of March. Played for 2 hours. Did the tutorial quests and left the game. I don't know how, but my account got hijacked. Some guy played with it for more than 10 days and got banned because of using bots. I couldn't login to my account between that time period. I tried contacting support but they don't appeal to bans. I paid for 3 months membership and lost my money without even playing the game. No one believes I got hacked. I didn't even know about the PIN codes or authenticators since I don't like reading game guides or videos. They ruin the game experience and the feeling of discovery. Now I got permanently banned without even playing it. I don't know how I got hacked, but if I find that guy, I will break his legs.

They say it is a good game, but it has no customer support. Mods don't even read the steam discussions. Some members tried to help, but failed. It doesn't feel good to lose your money during COVID.

Best Lovecraftian game you can find at the moment. A wee bit buggy, but the developers fixing them quite fast. They actually listen us. This is a hard game if you are a casual rpg gamer. You are not a hero or the chosen one. You are a survivor, so act like one. Choose your skills and attributes according to that. You can't be the master of everything. Be clever, do not fight to kill, fight to run. If you roleplay, you will survive.

+ Art is fantastic!
+ Amazing dialogues
+ Mental conditions are fun
+ Addictions and stress mechanic
+ Immersive world
+ Fun tactical combat with realistic magic that has consequences
+ Crafting and scavenging allows you to feel like a true survivor

- Short game (devs are working on a dlc or sequel)
- It is difficult to figure out certain mechanics if you are not an old school adventure gamer
- Bugs can be annoying
- Voice acting is limited, but great
- You can't create a custom party. You can only have the companions you meet, which is nice for me

First of all, this is a good game and absolutely worth the price. If you like Arthurian lore and turn based combat, do not miss this game.

+The story is good for a short game like this.
+Combat is enjoyable. You need tactical thinking.
+8 different characters with different skills gives you different combinations.
+Fantastic art!
+Narrator is good.

-No roleplay elements. Just linear story.
-Game is short, can be beaten around 12 hours.
-Combat is brutal, which is absolutely fine for me. However, there is no difficulty option, so some people may cry.
-Some bugs can mess up the gameplay because there is no autosave. You need to walk through half the level to manually save by clicking a tome.
-No voiceover for characters, only a narrator.
-AI doesn't use obstacles and explosive barrels.

These are minor things that I don't mind. For the price, I had a lot of fun. I hope they make a sequel.
