The guy just rips useful stuff from containers around with one telekinetic sweep. Its a nice workaround that removes some tedium without outright giving you all the loot without any input

I don't like that part. I like picking up shit 'manually'. Has a better feel to it.

Apparently, the devs have said that the best way to experience the game is to play it in Russian with your preferred choice of subtitles. So, I guess you can.

One thing I find suprising is that the game takes place in 1955, which I think is way too early. It would make more sense if it took place in like the 70's. To have such robotic advancement only 10 years after the end of WWII is just too early, even from a retro sci-fi perspective.

ACG gave it a buy and says it's basically Russian BioShock, like what everyone expected.

Haven't played it yet, and already feeling bad about this part. Hope it has some way to cheese the over world and just teleport from arena to arena.

Strap Yourselves In
GMan's review seems to be fairly impartial, doesn't mention politics/le war at all, only talks about what actually matters which is the content and quality of the game:


Should be noted that this guy is not a very prestigious source (IIRC he thinks Thief 3 was good).

Pros:
  • Good graphics
  • Good art style
  • Good overall gameplay
  • Good AK and Rocket Launcher
  • Most unique thing he's played in a while, compares it to Scorn
Cons:
  • Characters that don't know when to shut up, similar to all the other games that do cancerous dialogue in that vein like Forspoken. Too much dialogue, a lot of stunted and possibly badly translated lines
  • Bad bosses, recycled bad bosses in multiple areas, the bosses are all beaten in the same way no matter your build
  • The "Plasmid"-type attacks are lackluster, with the exception of the Freeze one being overpowered
  • Filled with unskippable minigames for hacking, lockpicking, etc., you don't even get upgrades to reduce time spent in these minigames, some minigames are entirely RNG dependant
  • Lacks interactivity, can't hack security cameras or interact with much in the world
  • Buggy and janky (expected because eurojank)
Seems like a fairly standard fare action RPG FPS hybrid popamole, he also mentions it just feels more like an FPS with RPG elements than it does an "immersive sim" despite the game containing references to BioShock (I do not consider BioShock an immersive sim but some people seem to) and Looking Glass Studios' games.

Sadly I signed up to Gamepass years ago to play The Outer Worlds, so I've already burnt my bridges (on a shit game no less).

I got the gamepass for 1 dollar today for like the 6th time so far. It totally works. Then switched to new zealand and good to go. I don't know what the fuck gggman is talking about, but the game is quite competent tech wise. No bugs or jank, is he stupid ? The game is better put together technically than every AAA release in at least a year. There are zero stutters, you have a perfectly flat frametime line and the game hits the 300 fps cap when you're inside. Every big game this year was utter shit tech wise - Hogwarts, Deliver us Mars, Dead Space, Forspoken, Returnal, Wild Hearts, Ishin, etc. How is he seeing bugs and jank in this game, the only one that runs sublime ?

Played a bit,the game have a retarded checkpoint system. Would have been better with a normal safe system. Also crashes a lot when you die.

I just checked steam and it only has three reviews so far. What's going on here? Is it not actually out in most regions yet or something?
