The guns do look and feel good. That is inarguable.
As a sandbox for using neat guns? Receiver 2 isn't bad.

As a GAME? As a game, Receiver 2 is just obnoxious.
The environment is god awful. Drab, repetitive, uninteresting. There's one location, with some amount of procedural generation, and it's re-used in every level.
The enemies are boring. Beyond boring. Exceptionally boring. It'd be one thing if I was fighting Skynet, but a good couple hours of fighting through Jeff Bezos boobytraps and drones is so astoundingly uninteresting that calling them enemies doesn't even feel right. It's like I'm using well-modelled guns in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ puzzle game.

But none of this...NONE of these issues drag this game down as much as its story.
I know what you're thinking; "Dude, who cares about the story? Just ignore it". But you can't. You can't ignore it.
Every mission requires that you pick up a number of audio tapes that speak to you about either some nonsense philosophical point (IE: What is consciousness?), boomer-grade gun safety tips, or extrapolate about the game's plot. This wouldn't be nearly so bad if it wasn't for the fact that the writing makes it sound like all three of these topics are being explained to you by Alex YIIK. Oh, and did I forget to mention that these audio recordings CANNOT be skipped? Every level has its' own selection of audio clips that are unique to that level. Level one always has the same audio clips. Level two has the same audio clips. "So what?", I hear you ask. "So what if the audio clips are bad, you only have to experience them once, right?".
Wrong. Every time you die, you are sent back one level. You have to find those audio clips again. You HAVE to listen to them again. Every single word, every infuriating concept that's poorly explained and left vague and uninteresting. And you will die, the game wants you to die. Forgot to de-♥♥♥♥ the hammer while putting the gun away? You've just shot yourself in the leg. Shot a glass window/door while standing close to it? The falling glass insta-kills you. Didn't see the sleeping sentry in the corner because the entire aesthetic of the game is so uninteresting that your brain has to filter it out to gain any sense of satisfaction in the mechanics of the game? You've been shot. Get shot ONCE? Oh, sorry, you bleed to death in the next few seconds. Re-do the last level, listen to a voice tell you about how bad the media is for the twentieth time, go to hell.

It's an immense shame that the mechanics of this game are wasted on the rest of this game. I highly recommend that you either wait for the developer to use these mechanics in a better title, or for any opportunity wherein you can obtain this game for free. I do not recommend spending money on it.

Dominions 5 is like a Hyperborea text-post, but in a game. And that game is very fun.

It's wonderful.
Now I need you to understand, I've played a fair amount of these types of games. Ark, Rust, DayZ, 7 days to die,
Reign of Kings, etc. I have hated all of them. They all have immense problems, are repetitive to the point of absolute irritation, and have very, VERY toxic communities.
Worlds Adrift is just really enjoyable. High tier ship building takes quite a few mats, but you can easily make a simple sail ship very quickly. The community is really nice, and not just a bunch of people screaming "AAAAAHAHH ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ N#####" (Although that kind of community can be very entertaining at times). The Exploration is really good, all the islands are made by the community so you get a diverse collection of places to go, ranging from forests to mountains to labrynths and Dungeons. its just good, man. Even if you feel you might not like it, it's not nearly as much as other games of this type so hey, whats there to lose?

The game has problems. Im not going to lie. SOme times its jank,sometimes its a grind. But trust me,play it. Once you find a way to have fun, the game gets so good. It feels great, but sometimes it is jank or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, which is understandable. Just try it out, and see if its your thing

i hate this gae,not because its bad,or it gets boring,but i hate it for 2 reasons,A,EVERY DAMN SERVER has a ping limit,even the ones that say they dont,and i hate that.B,YOU ONLY GET A DEMO VERSION,so no customization,no acces to certain servers,and other things,which annoys me because when i rarely get to play this game,its so fun,so id reccomend it if you have good internet and some money
