Region lock China, till then it's a skip.

I recommend this game it is really good. The developer is also a really amazing guy.

What I love:
+ Tetris inventory
+ Combat is pretty good and satisfying
+ Crafting is nice and realistic
+ Good atmosphere
+ Amazing anomalies, they feel pretty good and if you have a subwoofer you can just tell by bass how close or far you are from one
+ When visitation hits is surreal, you have to be careful and find shelter quick
+You can take out batteries from device
+You can aim up and down and precisely shoot at enemies that hide behind cover.

I want to point out some improvements tho:
- I wish for a more complex skill set
- The story is good, not interesting enough but good. I wish it had more than the surface.
- Smarter A.I. that flanks the player and uses tactics, many times grenades fly randomly, towards my general direction most of the time but in the wrong places
- I would love to have some warnings before I drop an essential item for a quest (it says quest item in the name but sometimes I am stupid)
- I talked with the guy at station 11 and... he mentioned about fast travelling to the initial village with a guide, I thought by pressing the button I would see some more dialogue but damn I fast travelled there, I alt+F4 when the screen went black but when I got back into the game it already saved my position in the village so I had to travel all the way back to station 11.... because Razor doesn't have a guide for me yet...
- I would love more item variety just a little bit and maybe a few more activities around the map but it is a small dev and I understand.

It is definitely a game to have on my Steam Deck since it is only a few GB. I haven't played on that yet but I hope the controls are not too difficult. I also did not find any artefacts so far and it would be cool if there would be any that would have positive and negative effects like no bleed but you get easily affected by radiation or improved bullet protection but slower movement.

One of the games that make you feel emotional. This is a really good one. I recommend it.

It also works great on the deck, it has some problems with the codecs from the cinematics but that it's easily solved by switching to Proton GE. Definitely playing it again at some point to try different decisions

I can recommend this as it feels like a good game however it didn't fit my style much.

Mostly because the movement and combat feels restricted. If you have a slow weapon for example and you are caught in an animation, you can't do anything to avoid being hit until the animation is finished. Sometimes movement is tricky, for example jumping of the walls with double jump. Its a pain on the steam deck, probably it's worse on keyboard.

But apart from that it's a pretty solid experience. The story is okay, sometimes the dialogue feels like it's going for longer than it should. The atmosphere is growing on you at times in a good and bad way (if you play it for a long time with no break).

I got to a point where i couldn't advance because i was told to go somewhere but i don't know where that place is. It isn't shown on my map.

But overall i would say its good. I can't give it a bad review but i feel it's borderline neutral towards good.

I played this for a long time now and I can say that at first it was really infuriating and frustrating. Since dirt 3 I wished for a game like this focused on rally with real damage to come out (not WRC garbage). And when it came out I hated it because I was playing it with the wrong settings and the wrong mentality.

Only after a year I managed to get the hang of it. If you struggle you need to change 3 things:

1 Mentality. I was thinking oh I need to be first all the time and if i can't get it I will restart on and on. Because of that it started to feel like grinding instead of pure joy, like I had a second job.
Now I go by the mentality: I restart only if I crash really bad if not that's alright even if I fall behind in terms of leaderboard. I always get on second place at rally now and first place in rallycross but it's really hard. That's okay anyway.

2. Always tune your car parts for the track that you are going to ride on. I hate that they removed steam workshop or idk what happened I can't download tunes made by others to get my car right so I need to waste time doing it myself, but by doing this you will have the car pefectly tuned for asphalt of gravel or any other kinds of track surface which is a life saver.

3. Turn off all the assists, all they do is hinder your control over the car and annoy you. I managed to shave 5 seconds of my time just by doing this. oh and hire the best mechanics and apply the right perks

To be honest I like this game it's nice and it captures the period nicely the story it's mediocre but enough to keep you there. The gameplay even if it's repetitive it's entertaining and easy.

However even if i had it in a bundle i still regret spending money on it. I tried to accept this game but as soon as I advanced through the story after I met with all the characters in the bayou the bugs started to happen. Most of the time i get into a car/truck that needs stolen and the mission objectives disappear off the map and i don't know where to go, but i assume its one of the enterprises so i go there and check on all of them.

Sometimes i get side missions to steal trucks, i go there all the way through the map and the objective was actually a fake, a bluff, there was nothing to do there.

I hate that police it's kind of useless and they only come after you if you do something really really bad in front of them or a citizen that reports it. It's not balanced enough, it doesn't react realistically to what happens in game.

Some animations are also dull, characters getting frozen or stuck while they die in the air.

I had some visuals glitches like a lot of vertical rainbow lines covering the sky for a moment.

Now I can play this game with the bugs stated above but what I can't stand are 2 bugs that made me uninstall the game:
1.During a cutscene (and i bet it will happen again) the characters somehow teleport around the room, screen went black and continued to talk. Then it started to get into an infinite loading loop, i had to quit and start again.

2. After 40 minutes i destroyed a racket i went to talk with someone to advance in the story i pressed E and nothing happened. I had to restart the game.

As someone with little time to spend gaming and I want to spend it with high quality games, I do not appreciate the lack of interest from developers when they are not able to improve a game after so many years from its release, they just threw this trash out here took the money and thats it. We the players have to deal with it.

What saddens me is that i couldn't get through the story, not even the DLC's even if it costed me like a fraction of it's launch price I would still want those dollars back.

Shame on you Hangar 13 for releasing and not taking care of the bugs, shame on you 2K for allowing them to do this and to publish such a game.

I DO NOT write reviews cause i have no time, but this time i felt like i needed to say something, DISGUSTING.

no way i am playing this **** again, gonna get my money back right away

I got 10 fps. Note: I got an i7-6700HQ 2.6ghz 8 cores, i got 8gb RAM, i got a nvidia gtx 960m 4GB video memory, and let me say it again 10-12 fps. I mean dude i do not expect much from a laptop, and i do not expect much from this game either, but for fk sake, for 3GB it should run at least at 30 fps, it should be at least that optimized, thank god i got this from a bundle and not paid the full price. It's very poorly optimized.

Don't buy it if you do not have a high end computer or something similar, i mean really, i run rainbow six siege at 60 fps on high and can't run this? wtf....

.... really? You need to have used this product for at least 5 minutes before posting a review for it (4 minutes on record). Didn't even spent 5 min in this game, fk guess i;ll start again this cancer to post the review.

I need a 60fps gif after this,

This is the last time i make the mistake to buy something made by NAMCO BANDAI

Bought it for 5€, totally worth it.
