  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users describing them as awful and a waste of money, while others note that the graphics settings function well and that there are promising elements post-update. Overall, the visuals are characterized as smooth and vibrant, particularly for a game developed on the CryEngine, but technical issues such as crashes and lack of inventory functionality detract from the experience.

    • “The graphics seem there already to impress; the context is promising as well.”
    • “Game graphics & performance.”
    • “Awful graphics, waste of money.”
    • “A part from that anytime I try to switch to 3rd person view or I press any F (F1 to F12) button the game crashes... I even found a medkit but couldn't use it because there's no inventory available neither could I do any action... So what I am suggesting is that this game is not even a decent pre-alpha yet... I'm looking forward to updating this review as it will change, (hopefully), at the moment it is an undece... experience... Sorry guys, take your time and do a serious game out of it, the graphics seem there already to impress, the context either, c'mon, I'm waiting!”
    • “At least graphic settings work well.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth, with players noting that updates have introduced minimal content, such as a vague mission involving a stone slab and scattered health kits. Instead of a structured narrative, the gameplay primarily revolves around exploration of the environment, leaving many players feeling unsatisfied with the overall storytelling experience.

    • “Ok, after the developer asked me to recheck the new version after the update, I gave it a go and played until my health allowed me to continue. Apparently, there is a clue now, apart from the graphics that look promising. The clue says: mission - golden stone...”
    • “One update from the dev literally said 'fix and balance games'... that is all. Another update says 'new mission (rank 2)' and all he added was a stone slab you have to find... and scattered health kits.”
    • “There are no missions as such but just exploration of the world you spawn in.”
    • “Ok, after the developer asked me to recheck again the new version after the update, I gave it a go, and played it till my health allowed me to play. Apparently, there is a clue now, a part from the graphics that looks promising, the clue says: mission-golden stone...”
  • stability

    • “I do understand that early release games do come with their bugs and glitches, but not being able to launch the game itself is more frustrating, especially when you have to pay for the game even in its early release stage.”
    • “I played with no instruction or direction, no puzzles, only the meters to indicate I am losing vitals like in H1Z1 (at least those aren't buggy).”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
