Boring cinema

Story begins on one note, follow up with another and finish as a nothing burger.

All choices in game divides into two parts - ones that kill one of a characters and ones that do nothing.

Game is riddled with bugs - some are in cutscenes, some are in gameplay, all just add to overall annoyance due to in-game camera. We were forced to restart once as I was stuck in "book reading" mode

Also many of same type interactables have different controls - one book need you to move mouse to change page, another has dedicated buttons for it... Same with dialogs - some you need to press, another just hold mouse in selected location, others have decreased timer...

QTE are more of a jumpscare than QTE - you just watch 5min cutscene then suddenly have QTE and then watch another 5 min cutscene.

But still alright timewaster if on 90% sale

I love wacky zombie coop games, but this is too much even for me

This game suffers severe identity crisis - it tries to be b4b, wwz, days gone, hero shooter and snow runner in one questionably executed title.

Game looks beautiful while it is peaceful but in action... it's like you are playing as a zoomed in blood-lightning mage. Everything is flashy. Even eyes if a zombies for some reason...

There is a sound for full stamina recharge. And it is one of the most annoying sounds I ever heard and it's like 0.5s long.

Mission we got to play is open world with secondary locations that have loot that can help you with main objectives. Which just made game a driving simulator instead of action packed shooter.
Also as main loot in the game should be picked up by every character you cannot even split up in coop to speed up map clearing.

Items you pick up have no description so you can be stuck with something unusable (I picked up "stimulant" instead of grenade thinking it will be hp/stamina/speed boost but it was defibrillator - something I learned only back in the hub)

Jokes are half decent at least...

Awesome AA scrolls-like

Game starts with you as a prisoner and quickly expands into beautiful world full of interesting quests and characters.
And as you start to think that this is a 10/10 game first act ends. Now you live in a swamp for the next 15-20 hours. And size of the team starts to show its downsides. Map is too big for the amount of content, quests start to be more repetitive. And then you go into 3rd act where it all just falls apart. You are welcomed by the guy who says "hey - here is a road to finale OR... you can do 15 side quests before that for... something" (I literally forgot what was the benefit)

Despite that I enjoyed this game for the most part. Combat is alright - parries and dodges add feeling of smoothness to combat and game has a lot of gear that can change your playstyle quite a bit.
Main story and chained side quests do wonderful job of exploring the lore. Despite part of quests being meh it was really interesting to learn about this mutation of King Arthur's tale.

My main gameplay problem (outside of too large acts 2 and 3) is lack of ability to place custom markers on map. In each act there are places you need to revisit after finishing main quest line and you just need to google where to go.

Overall game is 6.5/10 but if you like scrolls-like gameplay - this game is sure worth your time (at least first act)

Great game with interesting story (well if this is your first Larian game, otherwise it's the same story)

But where it shines is combat. Sheer amount of possibilities and combinations allowed in this game is enough to complete a game and never have a combat that feels same as other one.

Was not sure to recommend or not but current reviews rate is too high IMO so here we go.

Up to 4 drunkards found themselves at the end of roadtrip and decides to go home on their RV that doubles as a submarine. So one of players take a driving wheel and others... struggle with finding things to entertain themselves. Main source of entertainment we found is to annoy another player and obstruct drivers view. WHEEEE -_-

My (and my teammates) main beef with the game that it overstays it's welcome by a large margin. This gameplay is fun for 4 hours top, not over 8. Also it kinda obvious that devs ran out of ideas and literally out of map for the later parts of the game.

Ending was a breath of fresh air tho - there was at least some action and we finally had something to do.

But half of "something to do" was literally fighting bugs and bad level design (I found a hole in the ground and fell there)

Overall game would be worth it if you could skip latter half of the game straight to ending.

Also come on can't you add at least one achievement for finishing the game?!

"cozy city-building" - literally no tutorial, as soon as winter came I lost half of my town before I understood what's happening and what am I supposed to do. (and I played on lowest difficulty possible)
Too many bugs and unexplained things, your people just born unhappy you need to constantly place low-radius and even lower happiness helping things all over the place.
Concept is cool but don't really worth your time in current state.

Will update review later but as for now it looks not so good.

Nobody tested this thing.
Extremely hard and uncomfortable button rebinding
Half of gore move is implied but not implemented.
Questionable dialogs with pedestrians with no effect.
Male character uses female jumping sound.

Pretty solid game about feelings of a guy stuck in a loop and a emotional turmoil on a way to unstuck.

Game never answer the question what is going on there exactly but it's not a focus of a game anyway.

Overall pretty solid experience outside of annoying bug in one of a later chapters. Underdiscovered gem.

Hardest (and most annoying) tutorial in my life.

Not quite Killing Floor

Game is a mess of old gameplay and new additions that doesn't work very well with old stuff.
Zed-time now instead of being rng-clutch mechanic became pseudo-tactical asset which may work only in HoE difficulties with good teams.
Operatives now tied to perks which cuts customisation by a lot (yes, I know they are planning to revert it in first patches but still)
No cross-perk weapons yet (kinda strange to cut most common meta builds weapons)

Meta quests were added into the game and they suck. Game is server based which means you can stay on one server for multiple matches - which gives you platform to socialise and make friends. Now we have quests which require me to drop out of server after each game and do MM from my hub coz everyone wants rewards.

Overall it's unstable mess with weird performance spikes, graphical glitches and debatable gameplay loop. Better wait.
