A very fun game. Dont let the art style throw you off from this wonderfully good RPG.

Highly recommend.

Fun game. It is like a first person shooter version of FTL. Game play is pretty well balanced throughout the story once you learn what the various enemies can do. The only problem is it has low replay value.

Easily 10 to 15 hours of fun here.

This game is a mix of farcry and dead island. It is a fairly polished version of the games, has some of the nice quality of life features. For example you auto loot some (but not all) enemies, when you grab items off the ground it grabs all the loot adjacent to it. Most of the keybinds are unique so you dont do something you were not planning on it.

My problem is that the 1. enemies AI is just all over the place and 2. the game tries to make itself harder by just bad combat mechanics.

For example, when aiming down sights (ADS) at a target right in front of you the bullets will often miss, this is because the game is a 3rd person over the shoulder so the barrel of the gun does not line up with the aim reticle causing the bullet to miss nearby targets. This extra sucks when fighting zombies (the primary enemy) because they are all melee.

The zombies will also twitch dodge headshots so you will line up a perfect headshot only to have the zombie dodge a few milliseconds after your bullet passes them (its like they lag) but not all zombies will do this all the time, just some of them some of the time. This is a way the game tries to artificially increase the difficulty. You will just waste your ammo regardless of how well you aim.

Then other times the AI is absolutely oblivious. If you thought Skyrim stealth was bad this game is worse. In this game enemies might ignore you 5 feet away standing in an open field, and other times they will run from 3 houses over to attack you.

Other game mechanics just feel forced. Your primary mode of transport is a motorcycle that has a gas tank barely able to travel 3 kilometers (1.5 miles) before being out of gas so you are always looking for fuel. Or you only can get 3 mags of ammo so you can never have enough. Or melee weapons break after killing 3 to 5 enemies so you are never able to deal with more than a handful of enemies at a time.

All of these nuisance mechanics make the game very annoying to play and I find that after an hour or two I just have to take a break.

Overall 2/5

This game is amazing. It is one of the only games that I still play year after year. I would highly recommend for anyone who likes that base building genre, Rimworld is probably the best one out there on the market.

Simple game that is a nice and enjoyable. Good for a break from more hardcore games. It is bite-size, to 100% will take about 5 hours, or 3 hours to complete just the main story.

I highly recommend Battlegroup VR. its like being Ender from Ender's Game. I hopped in to try it for a few minutes just to see and 6 hours later I had to stop playing because my controller was out of power. It is very fun!

This game does not have much going for it. Everything feels underwhelming and a lot of things (world map) feel archaic and incomplete. I also kept encountering various UI bugs, like the fact that my 120 person colony had -350 infected people in it? I don't even know how you get an negative number of infected people, much less twice your colonies size?

Not worth the price of the game, which is disappointing from a Paradox product.

WARNING THIS GAME REQUIRES ALL PLAYERS TO HAVE AN EPIC ACCOUNT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH YOUR FRIENDS. THIS GAME DOES NOT SUPPORT STEAM FRIENDS LISTS.

This game will make you trust and not trust everyone for no reason other than they danced in a hallway.

Fun little game. Takes about 15 hours to beat. Played on the standard difficulty which was not too hard but a good way to learn the game. The various mechanics made sense and the game has a solid tutorial phase. If you want more of a challenge their are something like 7 difficulty modes with standard being 2 of 7 so you can always have a challenge.

Personally the campaign story was fun. Had a decent amount to do and I enjoyed it. However, their is really only a campaign so not much replay value.

Would purchase again.
