Game completely abandoned due to dev "Hating social interactions".

Worst Audio In Any Video Game Ever.

At first, I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth after dying multiple times to hackers quite a few months back. I left the game, but decided to give it another shot due to the absolutely BEAUTIFUL world design/Challenging survival aspects; and boy is it worth it.

When they say that Miscreated is a "Hardcore" survival game, they mean it. It may not be for everyone, as it can be extremely grindy building up a nice set of gear. HOWEVER, with the level of immersion that the Woods/Variable Weather/Cities/hidden loot & locations bring, It really drives home that you ARE scouring a post-apocalyptic landscape that has already been ravaged for many years prior after all: And that just makes the grind feel right .

PVP is quite solid, VERY satisfying, and quite realistic in terms of damage given/taken. When using the right caliber weapon, it's rather easy to one shot someone, or be one shot yourself.

PVE is also quite good/balanced. Basic mutants can be a little too easy to dispatch sometimes ( even with no/basic melee weapons), but larger enemies or hoards can be pretty damn intense to take care of. Especially given the general lack of ammo at times.

Base Building / Vehicle Repair is also very well done. About the only thing I could say negative here, is the fact that Vehicles don't necessarily have a "Claim" feature, and can de-spawn anywhere within 24-48 hours if not interacted with.

Lastly, probably the least talked about, but best aspect of Miscreated: Exploration .
A lot of the time I find myself literally stopping in my tracks purely to look at, and appreciate certain scenes that you come across in the world. CRYENGINE does a fantastic job at painting beautifully rendered/lit scenery. From random waterfalls/streams leading into a pond in the middle of the woods at sunset, to the glow of deadly irradiated water pooling in the bottom of a cave, cascading across the rocky ceiling.

If you're on the fence, give Miscreated a shot. If you're left with a bad taste in your mouth like I was, give it another shot. I guarantee that this game absolutely has something for everyone to appreciate.

• Matchmaking is completely broken after a few matches (Only and i mean ONLY puts you into matches that are either half way over, or just a few points from being over. ESPECIALLY in CTF).
  
• Major de-sync at times, to the point where gun animations work, but no bullets are fired / players literally skipping and teleporting due to random Ping spikes.
  
• Sprinting/Falling next to teammates will cause you to become stuck inside of each other, not able to move or re-spawn.
  
• Plasma Rifle is entirely bugged (MAJOR lag from the time of firing to the time of energy rounds leaving chamber; Will sometimes not fire ANY projectiles, but will perform firing animation).
  
• Hit reg seems to be completely off at times, but may just be an issue with the server de-sync.
  
• Canceling Matchmaking will not cancel it, even though it no longer shows you in queue.
  
• Game mode displayed while loading into the match is NOT always correct (Will show TDM or CTF, but will load into Oddball).

Game is VERY fun, but what a disappointment it is to have a 2 day delay to fix "major issues", only to be plagued with these blatantly obvious bugs and glitches. Hopefully something is done before the player base falls off.

TLDR: Game is quite entertaining, yet riddled with bugs/glitches that make consistent play not attractive. Will absolutely recommend after these are taken care of.




EDIT:

Game is pretty good now.

Alot like drinking paint. At first its pretty cool and tastes decent, but then you realize you've been drinking LEAD based paint; for 497.2 hours.

Yo, how long until you finally run out of money and are forced to take down Radical Sheights?

Terrible game play, terrible bosses, terrible servers, terrible price point, all around terrible game. Dont waste your money.

>get ready to log out.
>see someone spawn on top of me as "preparing to disconnect" screen is up.
>runs up, punches me to death over the duration of the 10 second log out timer that you cant cancel.
>loose majority of my gear and break my keyboard.
>f*ck this game

Friends gifted this game to me day of launch, and at that point, it was a VERY addicting, refreshing survival game that consumed my soul. 35 hours of it within 4-5 days to be exact. This game had SO much potential, but then became just another "take the money and run" scheme. i really wish that my friend could get a refund for this piece of garbage, but i dont see that happening. Amazing game gone ♥♥♥♥, real fast.
