Graphics is astonishing for a VR game at 144 hz for my valve index. The game mechanics are thought out. So far this is the only game relying on a story (plot), even though this is not for what I'd recommend this game for. I couldn't focus on the plot cause I was "too much immersed" - the atmosphere is just thrilling. Sometimes in long dark halls I thought I was playing resident evil and I really liked it. In the end, this is what all the previous half-life games should have delivered - the atmosphere, which can be greatly taken in by playing this game.

The game is surprisingly overfeministic. I don't like the idea of putting that "dirty-chicks-sisters" everywhere wherever it is possible and not. I was struggling with a facepalm syndrome almost every cutscene in the game.

The plot is such that there is almost no plot. Just missions you have to go through. Compared to Dying Light where the same concept is used, Dying Light does much better storytelling than this game.

The graphics are good, though, a bit glitchy. Ray Traced-reflections are good looking, but again, a bit glitchy. But one can live with that.

Can't say anything about the sound, just ordinary sounds people are used to hear from CoD or other wolfensteins, so nothing extraordinary.

Didn't hear a lot of music, so this point is just crossed out.

Verdict: Other than spending your precious time looking at beautiful graphics and well-optimised game engine and doing some "pew-pew" in a universe remotely resembling wolfenstein's, this should have nothing to do with your pocket.

Such an amazing story with good graphics is just what you need to get away from reality in the weekend.

It's just good. It is just GTA5.

This is one of the best ports made by Feral to Linux. Works flawlessly on all highest settings with my old 1060 GTX 6GB and almost all the time with 45-55 FPS. The experience is very good, the framerate is very stable, it doesn't drop if you just move your camera around. No glitches, no bugs found on ArchLinux with latest stuff. Very nice, Feral!

The game itself is good, nothing to worry about. Lara is Lara.

11/10 for the gameplay and graphics but 2/10 for the optimisations for the linux platform.

Nice game. Not enough optimisations very made, the fps is dropping down even to 15-20 fps in the final location (only one-two places in the whole game world), everywhere else the fps is 120-200 on my configuration (1060 gtx 6gb, 16 ram, 2700k). The story is boring at the beginning of the game, but it gets better and more interesting by the end. Graphics are quite good, the shaders are thought out for many interesting effects.

9/10

Very nice game. Played like 20+ hours in a row (2 days during winter holidays). Very nice optimisations (the fps is 300+ on my configuration (2700k 4.8ghz, 16 gb ram, 1060 gtx 6gb)), playing from the archlinux. Good graphics, good gameplay, long and interesting story. Though, there is a game design problem in the modern games in my opinion - you go trough the same locations like 10-20 times by the end of the game, so I knew all the locations by the end of the game and this bored me.

9/10

Good game. Good optimisations for linux but there are textures problem - they are constantly changing the size even though I have set the maximum graphics and I have like 100+ fps all the time. This looks like the texture is low-quality at first, you look at it it changes its quality to medium, then high, then ultra, then back to medium, and so on, looks odd.

Anyway the game is playable, the fps is ok, everything is ok except the textures problem.

8/10

A good game. Played with my girlfriend. More-or-less good adaptation for Linux by Feral Interactive (much better than a lot of their games, I think, because the fps still dropped to even 15 sometimes, but most of time everything was playable: 50 - 130 fps on my 2700k and 1060 gtx, everything is on the max, 1080p).
