Early Access Review
The atmosphere, sounds, and designs are great. The gun play feels a little stiff, but good overall. Some of the models need little tweaks, like the starting shotgun not having the hand in the right spot. However there's one very big issue I have with this game... The sprinting. Not only can you not sprint and strafe, limiting your awareness and maneuverability, you can get stuck on the most abysmally small pieces of terrain.

Running away? Not if that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pebble, small sand hill, or any other reasonably easily traversable inconveniences have anything to say about it. I can forgive the large gravestone that I just walked by with no problems all the sudden having a gravitational pull so I can't get past it while sprinting a lot more than having slight imperfections in my chosen escape path remove my ability to move.

One guy said that it felt like your character acted more like a vehicle than a person... I'd like to add on that it's a vehicle with square ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wheels. Cause a normal vehicle can get over or avoid most potholes, rocks, etc. with no problem. Not these rejected model T's. Every single mild bump or incline that isn't stairs will no doubt stop you dead in your tracks and leave you fruitlessly turning left and right before easing themselves back to full sprint with all the urgency of a panicked sloth as you get shot, get stuck AGAIN, and then die.

This is the real sticking point for me, I was having a lot of fun up until I realized this was a problem. The water doesn't seem to be a big issue, even less so if you've got a squad. I can't comment too much on it however, cause I only ever extracted 2 in my play time. I was just wandering around, and would've gotten more but you can only carry one large item at a time. Suffice to say I'm gonna let it sit for a while longer to see if my main gripe is addressed before trying it again.
