Яка неймовірна гра. Я дуже радий, що це виправдало ажіотаж і очікування. Проте графічні вимоги та проблеми дійсні. Я сподіваюся, що колись їх виправлять.

Do I work from home? Sure I do!

I play cs_office and hear my racist 15 year old office manager call me a slur while shooting at the police in the breakroom with a sawed off. I'm hoping to make assistant next year.

I fired everyone useful, ran away to the Caymans and one of the janitors called my voicemail and said the N-word.

The real treasure was the Terminators we made along the way

This is a lukewarm recommendation

What an incredibly bizarre title. The gunplay is pretty good, the sprites, the animation, music is fun as it looped and finally and most importantly to myself, the mapper's the understanding of the Build engine seemed very acceptable. Unfortunately while I think this passion project gives a great impression by setting a high bar as a free game (!), I can't help but think this game has such an identity crisis at a distracting frequency and at it's core commits to mechanics that should have been chopped much earlier in the development process.

I won't beat around the bush with my biggest gripe but the "story" gets in the way of the game and should have stayed in intro / in-between cut scenes and does not say anything engaging or interesting at any point which warranted me wanting to pause and read except the fact that it was in the way. This problem is even evident in the store page's gameply trailers lol. Additionally, the Build engine is famous for it's interactivity and I found that the mappers involved could have used more opportunity in that regard, especially if you're in urban environments.

TL:DR
The story, hyperactive broken ai and some of the mapping design layout towards the middle to later halfs of the game makes it feel more like you're playing Tom Clancy's Sonic Heroes: 3D. Some will like the sounds of that, others may understand what I mean and get a quick chuckle. I give it a solid 6/10 and hope that everyone who participated in it's development goes on to work on more in the future with lessons learned in hand.

A quick summary of my feelings on this game. It is a much better and polished Wasteland 2 but still lacks an engaging immersive world. Felt like a local theater's presentation of Wasteland or a good crpg. You can see the budget and the shortcuts that were made but in the end it still comes out more favourly than previous works.

+ Good environmental storytelling
+ Overall good story big picture wise
+ Some decent "choices" where they do have consequence
+ The combat is fantastic for a budget crpg.
+ Able to cheese and swing above your belt while get rewarded for it (exploring high rad areas early, fighting strong enemies early etc etc)
+ Good combat arenas, lots of good cover, angles flanks, etc
+ Lots of great loot, secrets and treasure to be found
+ Animal Companions are overpowered to the benefit of the game
+ A "you can have it all" ending if you play your cards right.

~ (Neutral) no real good set piece locations until the DLC
~ For the most part companions are lackluster
~ Not a very captivating start to the game

- Terrible dialog / conversations
- A lot of left or right decision making side-quests that felt checklist or rushed
- Weird difficulty spikes once in a while
- Disappointing locations for urban centers and Hubs.
- No real ruins to explore in a post apocalypse. Majority of locations tied to a quest.
- No real reason to return to an area once cleaned of initial quests and story.

this gave me cancer, cancer of the butt :(
