Wait...I have to turn on a jet pack? In space?...to keep from falling?...in space?...where there is no gravity? I mean...come on... didn't think that one through did ya? How about some magnetic boots to keep you from flying off the platform? Seems a bit more logical. Still, it's the first week of early access. It's a bit clunky and frustrating but very promising. Would definitely recommend it for the price.

I am loving this game. The best way I can describe it is: It's Oblivion without the fantasy. I keep reading about bugs and such, but I have not experienced anything that broke the game or even made it more challenging.
The combat is very different than any other game I have played, but once you understand what's going on, it is very enjoyable. The hardest part of combat is using the bow, and the only reason is because there is no reticle. A simple mod fixes this without making bow usage too easy.

The story is great, the cut scenes are well put together and are genuinely emotional. At times, it feels a lot like you're playing a movie. While some of the scenes are long, they do more to draw you in than they do to interrupt your immersion.

It can be difficult however. There is not much to guide you in the game. When I speak about it to friends who ask me to describe it, my best analogy is "This game is a mid-evil life simulator". Life was tough during those times. So is this game, but it is so much more.

I can't wait for the next chapter or KCD2, or DLC, or whatever comes out to finish the story. The end of the main story leaves you without the ability to accomplish one of your main goals so I expect there to be more. There has to be more. We need more!

Every couple days I fire this game up and usually die in the first day in game. Usually because someone hits me while I look at a map (there is no in-game map) and try to figure out where I am. The irony on that is, there's like 3 roads, but they're 50 miles long (not really) so it's easy to get lost in the boring scenery. Kinda like the real world. So...do NOT park in the middle of the road. You will die.

"Early access on to highway is fatal" Yes...that.

It takes a long time to get to the store. It takes a long time to get to the anything. I have not built a car. I have not completed a job. I have gone to the store and back. Opened the grocery bag on the table and the contents exploded around the room. Does the food spoi? I spent an hour putting each individual item in the fridge. Went to pick up a drunk guy. I died on the way. Eleven hours of play and I haven't completed a single thing except now I dispise the opening scene...which is just bad to begin with. Thankfully you can skip it.
It's an early access game being developed by a single person (as I understand it). The graphics are poor, there are really no character animations. Plays kina clunky.
It's still fun to spend some time on though. Not my go-to game of choice. I am hoping development continues and the final product has attractive graphics. Game play, of course, is the most important, which it has great playability. It's 2017 though, the graphics should be better than Half-Life 1. As it says though, it is early access so we don't know what the final product will provide. Definitely worth the purchase during summer sale.

I just want to say thanks to Bethesda for releasing half of a game. Seriously, I keep reading about how the game is "huge" and several hundred hours of gameplay!... It's possible that I am missing something, but I can't find any more original quests. I could do grind quests all day long, but I get tired of saving the same exact settlements that have 4x the defense as there are people, or rescueing the same exact kidnapped person. My favorite is saving my home town from raiders and upon completion, telling the same guy "we have a new settlement blah blah blah" and hearing the same response over and over and over.
...but, the graphics are great!

The DLC is making it better!

This is 5 bucks well spent! It's completely stupid fun. More satisfying than: any starbucks drink, losing lottery ticket, over-priced micro-brew, tic-tacs, and sweaty socks!
