Play POE or go buy Grim Dawn.

Suffering.

TL;DR: Really good game really good port (with slight dips)

Having played through the base game / DLC and done all collectables (not data logs) side quests etc I can comfortably say this is a solid game but it's not without issues.

Aloy can yap a lot, out in the wilds it doesn't bother me to much "I'll need this for later" or "I can refill my pouch with this later" etc. The problems start when you're searching for something or trying to complete a "puzzle" Aloy will more than likely spam you with "maybe I should use my focus" or giving you direct instructions of what needs to be done but this could easily happen as soon as you walk into the area so even though the game is attempting to be "helpful" you actually have no clue what she's on about cause you've literally just arrived. Take note of how Shadow of the tomb raider handles this and all will be fine.

Combat, it can go either way, sometimes it works out really well and other times you're a pinball dealing with MHW hitboxes. I like the idea of breaking machine parts but some points on the body can be nigh impossible to hit making them pointless. Usually small parts under the belly or the teeth of a widemaw. The ropecaster can help with this but it's still obnoxious to deal with.

Performance, Right off the bat I have a 4070TI, Ryzen 9 7900x, 32GB RAM at 6,000. For me this is one of the best day 1 launches I've seen in a long time but there is still slight issues. I'm not going into spoiler territory but there is 4 segments of the game where it struggles. First place was due to the water imo. Segment 2/3 were cutscenes and it almost felt like an engine limitation I tried testing and even with putting DLSS all the way to ultra performance it didn't help. Final one is a settlement, the cutscene had issues once again and simply running around the settlement would cause big frame skips. Outside of this one location there wasn't a single time where the issues affected moment to moment gameplay.

All in all I really did enjoy my time with the game, slight combat jank aside. To complete everything it took me 77 hours, I could do the N.G+ achievements but right now I can't be bothered especially when one of them is beating it on ultra hard. Note: Steam playtime tracks the game simply being open, 77 hours was the time on my save file.

Public service announcement, devs for the love of all things holy fix the lock on, I beg thee. Fantastic game but when I lock on I want it to be the enemy in front of my face with a very real possibility of killing me not the enemy halfway across the map, it's consistently awful.

I haven't finished this yet and I do plan to but the audio balancing is absolutely horrible. Some sounds do not change regardless of what volume is set at in game. I turned all options down to zero (speech, sfx, music) but footsteps still played and many other sounds. They are extremely loud and quite frankly gets very annoying. I'm surprised to see only 1 other person has mentioned this in steam discussions because it's very bad. I love what I've played so far but it's really hard to keep going.

I am extremely conflicted. Do I like having more time with Kiryu? Yes. Did I think the amount of "content" available was enough to justify a £45 price tag? No. This "spin off" should have been left as DLC for infinite wealth. It feels like they scrambled together some side content to pad out the overall playtime and said that's good enough ship it. My save file currently sits at 17 hours with 3 requests left to do, 7 stroll and patrol (extremely minor grab this, paint your face like a clown for me) and the obligatory Amon fight. There are some highlights sure but for the love of god save your money and buy something else.

Ashley really wants to die simulator.

I find it very odd there's no surround sound. Made some segments feel like a lesser experience than they could've been. In a game like this with a good atmosphere it's unfortunate. Overall as a complete package it's a decent indie horror title.

My one huge problem with the game that I cannot ignore. Tinnitus. Devs (not just the devs of this game) you all need to stop. Seriously. There isn't a single person who enjoys tinnitus sound effects and I can tell you right now I have suffered with tinnitus every second of every day for over a year now it adds nothing to the game and only annoys the player. Thanks soldier!

So I never play boomer style retro shooters. Really anything in this vain except for doom / doom eternal (not the OG games) they are fun but I'm just awful at them and sometimes it can be to fast. Overloads my smooth brain but this game looked like so much fun I had to buy it. Been a blast for 4 hours straight so far.

Side note: I'm a controller player, I really do not like KB&M. Had to use a community made set up since the "official" layout is a bit scuffed but major props for even bothering to do it at all!

If you want a super in depth review go read the rest. I'm here to be blunt. If you enjoy an RNG fest of potentially being "wrong" about your evidence go for it. If you like consistency in your video game as many of us do then you already know what I'm going to say. This damn game has so much potential just being chucked down the gutter. It's a real shame.
