Launcher has some good background music and nice rain. Enjoying my time here so far. Thumbs up.

Played probably just a bit shy of 10 hours if I had to guess. Extra playtime is from sitting on the pause menu for a bit. The in game save menu gives an accurate readout of the time played but I forgot to check. Anyhow, I'll be listing out my 'major' cons below before I get into anything else. I will say beforehand that the reviews painted this as more broken than Cyberpunk and the worst polished game ever, basically. I have not seen that. It's not 100% polished but the build I was playing is pretty solid. Anyhow. The issues I've faced.
- 2 instances of the framerate dropping to the single digits requiring a restart. No progress lost and the reload was pretty quick but it was very noticeable. Maybe some kind of memory leak.
- 2 crashes from loading screens
- 1 area (Sphere) where walls and such had flickering textures, fixed itself after leaving and coming back
- 1 area with floating objects like a pot.
- Some finnicky AI that can either see through walls and hear from a mile away, or 1 area where enemies didn't hear me coming at all even if I walked up right behind them. Also some pathing issues with staircases it seems.
And that was about it.
Positives.
- Performance was pretty good. Locked 120 fps on 3440x1440p Ultra with DLSS 3G enabled. (RTX 4080 and 9800x3d, 64gb DDR5 6000)
- World feels alive, made my way to Corden to find the Rookie Village to talk to the bastard Sidorovich and just like SOC, after being there for a while a Military patrol came up from the base and attacked the Village. Also seen bandit groups get into firefights with other groups, other factions, etc.
- Bloodsuckers and Controllers are even better than they were before. Hard to kill and will put you down pretty quickly. I've pulled the good ol tactic of calling it quits and running my ass off quite a few times.
- Feels VERY true to the OG Stalker trilogy. More than I think any of us could have hoped for. The pains of you slugging it back to camp with 5 AK's because you're broke as hell and you found some yellow ones that could fetch you 2 grand, just so Sidorovich can turn around and sell them for 30 grand each.
- Anomalies are hard as ♥♥♥♥ to see sometimes, they didn't dumb them down too much and the methods for escaping some of them are still the same.

Overall I'm having a great time. Nowhere near as buggy as a lot of the reviews made it out to be, and performance is actually pretty good for me. So it's definitely a recommend from me if you enjoy the classic Stalker experience. i mean even for the enjoyers of Anomaly and Gamma there's definitely a place for. Though it's not as open ended with factions and such. Banger game. Loving every minute of it.

Definitely overpriced, $50 for a game released in 2010 is too much no matter how I look at it. But it is a solid package at least. Performance wise it's great with no stutters. Controls are good. All the options you'd hope to be there, are there. Ultrawide support is very nice. As is the high refresh rate support. Seems to be mostly capped around 100fps for me in most areas on my rig. Couple of small notes are that I'm not sure if the smaller DLC's like the War Horse are included, as I cannot see the slip in my inventory and the heat effect they used doesn't hold up super well on modern displays, almost looked like screen tearing.

Star Citizen may be a scam, but it's somehow better than this.

I know I only have 2 hours in this on Steam. I initially beat it on xbox back when it first released on game pass.

Outer Wilds is probably one of the best games I have ever played. Easily top 5. From an objective sense the mechanics in the game are extremely well tuned mechanically. Visually its beautiful, it poses an amazing story thats worth following with a unique method of delivering the story to you. Everything about it is tuned to perfection. Nobody in these reviews should say anything more than that. Just play the game, don't look anything up and just play it. It's legitimately a life changing game in my opinion.

Obviously haven't gotten that far into it myself with only a little under an hour of actual progress, but I'm very impressed with what I've seen thus far and in the demo that I played prior to the release. It wears it's inspirations on its sleeves and I'm glad to see the genre is still kicking out bangers with the likes of this and Signalis.

Fortunately it only took Sony a few days to retract their PSN enforcement. Good things all around. This is how Democracy works. Good job people.

Good game so far. Performance has been decent for me. Not perfect. No crashes though which is a plus. 100+ fps with ray tracing on native 1440p in the open world. Hover at ~50fps in the large city. Not ideal, but certainly playable. Hard CPU bottleneck right now so probably worth waiting for patches if you're running a lower end CPU.

Micro transaction wise, from what I can tell at least everything up for sale is also available in game. I know wakestones, gaol keys, port crystals and rift essence are available in game as I've seen them as early as the first vendor. Don't see an anti cheat so using cheat engine to edit values should be fine if you want more of anything. Unsure on character edits at this time but presumably they are also an acquirable item.

As for the single save slot, we have known this for months. What we didn't know is that there wouldn't be a way to just start over at any time for any reason. Apparently not even deleting your save file will reset your save and allow a fresh start. Though I suspect thats just steam cloud saves kicking in and restoring data. Going offline would likely solve this.

Real reason I'm recommending is for the solid gameplay that I've seen thus far. Takes DD1's already great formula and takes it even farther. And thats really what matters.

Great game. Glad it finally made its way to steam. Basically a combination of GTA 4 and Assassins Creed 2. It's high praise and it deserves it. It may not high the absolute highs of either but it is consistently great with fun gameplay and unique twists like areas being black and white until they eventually have color returned to them after liberation. Gives you a sense of where you're at without having to rely on things like completion percentages in menus.

Nintendo, we know they showed you how to make a better game. You don't need to show them that you have better lawyers. Just make better games in response.
