An amazing post apocalyptic survival game. A combination of stunning visuals and heart twisting story makes this game worth at full price and must get on sale. I have beaten the game on normal difficulty so if you plan on playing a different difficulty your experience may be different compared to mine.

TL;DR: 8.5/10, Must get if you are into open world post apocalyptic games, and even if you don't it is still an amazing game in its own rite.


Pros:
-Story was amazing and characters were well written, relatable and likeable. Really gets you attached to your crew as the story pans out
-The minimal UI gameplay is a breath of fresh air compared to modern games that jam numerous amounts of sh*t on your screen. In ME you are forced to pay attention to your indicators and sound cues, which did an amazing job for immersion.
-Game is crazily beautiful spanning multiple tilesets and looks stunning even in 2022. Characters are well animated and looks lively.
-Levels are intense and brings out the dread and horror atmosphere just right with its lighting, sound, etc.
-The lack of resources really pushes you to spend your resources and shots wisely, making sure that you are never comfortable in the post-nuclear wastelands. IMO it really added to the atmosphere and the same sense of dread as mentioned before.
-Performance was great for me and I run it on a pretty average set up with a 2060. Encountered 0 framerate issues. Had a few times where I suspected that I encountered a bug but may also just be me being sh*t at finding where to go.

Cons:
-Hit reg can be wonky. I know this isn't call of duty where gunplay is 99% of the game but it will irritate you when enemies move or do certain animation that just shifts their head hit box out of where its models are. It does not happen often but it does from time to time.
-The voice over can overlap with each other especially at the start of the game, so there will be like 3 different conversations going on and you wont be able to understand anything. Might be a bug on my side.
-If you want a certain ending, you are forced to stealth the whole game. For me I got the bad one and I am happy with it, but if you are into this kind of stuff you will have to avoid almost every single gun fight. Nothing inherently wrong, but I really like shooting people, so kind of a bummer for me.
-On the ending again, there is a moral system that decides your ending and it functions similarly to Dishonored. Some of the things you have to do to get the better ending will not be making any sense to be perfectly honest, and does not that it should impact the outcome in anyway even when it does.

Overall really really solid game that holds its own weight even if you did not play the previous titles like me. Highly recommended, 8.5/10.
