  • optimization

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting significant performance issues, including frequent FPS drops and stuttering, which detract from the overall experience.

Overall, the consensus is that the game requires substantial optimization to meet player expectations.

    • “I have been enjoying the game so far; in fact, I love the game despite some shortcomings like performance issues, small bugs, and other design choices that I don't like as much (not being able to destroy empty buildings, what?).

    • “However, the game currently struggles with bugs, performance issues, and UI design that feels unpolished.”

    • “Performance issues, FPS drops, and stutter everywhere, it's really annoying.”
    • “There is a lot to do, but there are some problems after the patch. The stuttering when you move on the map is incredibly frustrating, and some optimization in the base with buildings would be nice.”
  • replayability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews on replayability are mixed; some players feel the game lacks replay value after completing it, while others highlight its potential for infinite replayability due to real-time combat mechanics and branching narratives. However, concerns about limited maps and procedural generation suggest that replayability may diminish until additional content is introduced.

    • “Infinitely replayable.”
    • “Its real-time combat with pause adds a layer of planning, and the branching narrative adds replayability.”
    • “Some also say that it has no replay value... well by the time I finish it having done everything (on very hard) it will not matter for me at least.”
    • “There's really tiny UI/visual bugs, but the only real gripe is that replayability will suffer until more maps or procedurally generated maps get added.”
  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is noted for its atmospheric quality, enhancing immersion and contributing to extended gameplay sessions. However, some users express a desire for a longer soundtrack, as the repetitive nature of the music can lead to feelings of monotony. Overall, the soundtrack effectively complements the game's themes of survival and emotional depth.

    • “Music (I wish the soundtrack was longer), basebuilding, technological development of your camp, gathering and crafting system, the characters, the missions, the dialogues, the story – all in all, they give me such immersion that many times, I played much longer sessions than I intended.”
    • “This is like playing a 3D version of 'This War of Mine,' but with the same elements of surviving the aftermath and Metal Gear Solid. I mean, the atmospheric music is damn near identical to TWOM, the base wall mirrors the one in STA, and the stealth kills are like, here, eat my MGS.”
    • “Music makes you feel depressed and is on repeat.”
    • “Music makes you depressed and is on repeat.”
