I really hate to leave this game a bad review, between things disappearing from your Inventory to game mechanics like stealth or field generators refusing to work. This game had a lot of potential and is very much a game id normally enjoy with the background and story it has. It just falls short in almost every way.

4/10 Will not be playing again.

- maps are a hot mess
- endless crouching and stealth - until you get killed by a "black stalker" for terrible story reasons
- a terrible story
- bad movement, jumping & freedom and endless collisions with objects
- bad save system

I was positively surprised by this game. it looks very impressive and captures the melancholy of the Zone really well. The story isn't groundbreaking but the writers clearly tried their best. The system that allows changing the key decisions affecting the story is rather interesting but feels like a gimmick rather than a proper feature. Companions are a bit cringey but towards the end of the game I could feel attached to some of them more than I expected. The combat is simple but it's competent and provide a reasonable challenge up to the finale. The survival elements are done more or less as expected.
75/100, would recommend getting with a discount.
