The modders were able to fix most of the issues in a couple of days that the developers can't fix in 5+ years of development and 2 months of release.
The balance of game mechanics was handled by someone who has never played a game in his life. Otherwise, I can not explain so killed balance in the game, which also managed to fix modders.


Positives:
Atmosphere
Graphics
Massive open world with no loading
Gameplay
Story
Lots of weapon and armor options
Weapon animations


Negatives:
Bugs
Optimization
Softlocks
A-Life
AI
Balance of game mechanics and economic
No mechanics that should have been in the game and were in previous games in the series (like monster hunting and monster body pieces, which again were fixed by modders in a couple days)
Broken lighting and shadows in the dark (because of which, it is impossible to see enemies in a dark corner or at night)


As a platform for mods - 10/10.
As a standalone finished game - 5/10.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Модороби змогли за кілька днів полагодити більшу частину проблем, які розробники не можуть полагодити за 5+ років розробки і 2 місяці релізу.
Балансом ігрових механік займалася людина, яка ніколи у своєму житті не грала в ігри. Інакше я не можу пояснити настільки вбитий баланс у грі, який так само змогли виправити модороби.


Позитивно:
Атмосфера
Графіка
Величезний відкритий світ без завантажень
Гемплей
Сюжет
Багато варіантів зброї та броні
Анімації зброї


Негативно:
Баги
Оптимізація
Софтлоки
А-Лайф
АІ
Баланс ігрових механік та економіка
Немає механік, які повинні були бути в грі і були в попередніх іграх серії (наприклад, полювання на монстрів і шматки монстрів, які знову ж таки були виправлені модоробами за кілька днів)
Зламане освітлення і тіні в темний час доби (через що неможливо побачити ворогів у темному кутку або вночі)


Як платформа для модів - 10/10.
Як самостійна готова гра - 5/10.

The developers have been unable to fix an obvious problem that prevents you from playing the game for 2 weeks now. The game just doesn't work. Literally. It stucks at the moment of loading after selecting a character and does not even let you enter the game.

-10/10

Still waiting for HL3...

Almost no content. The multiplayer is unplayable trash. The melee combat - trash. The netcode - trash. Cheaters.

Elden Ring - GOTY 2022
Shadow of the Erdtree - GOTY 2024

They sell one thing in the trailers and actually sell another. Half of the character mechanics were removed in this patch.

It's not a game, it's a work of art. Incredible Senua's story. Amazing acting and voice acting by Melina Juergens. Waiting for Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
