Beta was better

All I'm going to say is that the manned chapter of the caimpaign is eerily similar to the plot of "The Martian". That being said, I loved "The Martian" and this game as well.

Unless you have 3-4 friends who also want to play this game competitevly and will buy all the DLC, I don't recommend. I was excited about this game for a loooong time, but by the time I finally got a computer capeable of running it, the majority of the community had abbandoned it. I've been able to play 2 online matches since purchasing this game. There is a solo mode in which the other 3 hunters and the monster (or the 4 hunters if you hate yourself and want to play the monster), however if you are the hunter, the other 3 will do nothing except follow you and immediately die uppon encountering the monster beyond stage 1. If you are the monster, you can enjoy the bots knowing exactly where you are at all times (including when sneaking) and making a be-line for you before you get the chance to suckle your mothers teets. Not to mention all the dlc characters are unblanced, so even if you do manage to get into an online game, you will run into a competitive player and be unable to have any fun as you get wrecked by the newest flavor-of-the-month.

That being said, if anyone needs someone to fill a spot on their team, I'm available, otherwise I'll not be playing this game again.

Only found a few bugs, but that may have been because I ran this game for 16 hours strait and my processor is about .07 GHz too slow to run this game at minimum settings as I only found the bugs near the end of my play time.

One con to this game that can be a turn off is it's difficulty curve. Only a short time into the game, a mission is to kill 5 powerful uruk warriors without much guidance or assistance. The biggest problem is not the uruks themselves, but the swarms of lesser uruks that surround you and make your life hell while trying to kill one uruk. Later on, it becomes easier due to story given abilities, but the difficulty curve for this game spikes early, and then gradually falls off. by the time you get to the end of the game, it feels like the same difficulty level as the tutorial.

Pros:
Literally everything else.
If you can get past the difficulty spike, this game is masterfully crafted and beautifully well done. 9/10
