Recent reviews by Flow Emissary

Played for 2.9 hours, both solo and in multiplayer. What can I say: I had to tweak my VPN connection settings just to get into co-op mode. Even then, I had several connection drops, but I still managed to complete both missions.

I liked that the missions seem to be quite varied - in a good way, it reminded me of Deep Rock Galactic.

Another plus is that these are indeed locations from Control. I’m a big fan of the Remediverse, and I was especially happy to return to the Oldest House. The banter between Hank and the other guy is quite charming.

Unfortunately, there are more negatives than positives, at least from my experience:

Sadly, none of my friends got into the playtest, so I played with randoms, who occasionally dropped mid-session (or maybe got disconnected?..), and that left just two operatives to finish the mission, while the Hiss spawn rate didn’t scale down accordingly.

The Hiss spawn far too frequently, turning missions into a constant run between the healing and ammo stations.

The weapons have no recoil, and shooting just doesn’t feel satisfying.

I hope they fix some of the rough edges over the next month. I was planning to buy it on release day, but now, honestly, I think I’ll wait for reviews from someone relatively unbiased. I really want to believe Remedy can pull this off.

У игры хороший потенциал. Очень надеюсь, что к релизу исправят отзывчивость управление. Персонаж совершает запрашиваемые действия с ощутимым пингом, из-за чего раздражающе часто гибнет на пустом месте. Допускаю, впрочем, что дело может быть в моей криворукости.
Атмосферой напоминет смесь Barotrauma и Carrion.
