So after beating the game 47 hours. what can I say. Wait at least a month for the first few patches in the current state the game is playable but really needs polish. To complete this game I was forced to noclip on certaint areas. And that is unacceptable.
I only kept the game because I am a long time fan of the series BUT if I wasn't I would quickly return this game for the reason alone that it is such a messy state. "GOLD" they said.

Overall the game is a solid successor to the original series.
I would sum it up as a running simulator.

It's a compilation of all 3 episodes, the game plays gigantic but the world feels empty to me. I was expecting a new A-life 2.0, unfortunately we got spawners instead. The folders are in the game, but they are disabled as the system is bugged.

Main quest solid.
Side quests solid, but there could be more elaborate ones. U have random generated jobs and some special side missions.

Difficulty oh man, Veteran is unplayable, just because you add economy from misery it doesn't make it more enjoyable. It's frustrating.
Monsters are bulletsponges and you get zero reward for killing them just spending resources. Developers please play the game on veteran and then tell me how do you enjoy life? Please balance or atleast make it rewarding. FYI, the core of misery wasn't that you were bad at it, it was that you had options to maintain your gear and weapons.

The wear and tear on weapons and armor is so excessive for a veteran that it makes the game almost unbearable.
Night and night, well then I recommend increasing gamma to 55%. The game is very dark and for some reason the game lacks night vision goggles, even though in the base games they were why not in this game when you have the "stealth" mechanic. If it's going to be added in a dlc, it's the same approach as when the horse dlc came out in oblivion, this should have been there at launch.

Optimization is terrible

I don't understand the 8/10 reviews, is that some standard for broken games at launch now?
Do NOT buy now
When the game is fixed 8,5/10.

ALSO WHERE IS MY BANDIT RADIO?? pls fix
