I've seen and done every ending, made countless different choices just to see how things played out, and spent hundreds of hours playing before using mods followed by tripling my playtime using mods. The CP2077 world, characters, action and most importantly the storyline keep bringing me back after years of playing and continues to do so. Even now, with as much time playing and just exploring, I'm still finding and learning of new Easter Eggs hidden around NC and I've lost count of how many have been found. An incredible single-player game I would highly recommend to those who want a good story to play with plenty of action on how you complete just about everything.

I got this free game 4 days ago. While it's a cute and fun game, when you can actually get matched with other players, since the recent update you can no longer choose your region. In the US, there are barely any games being played but in South America is where majority of the games were occurring. So, before the update, I switched my region to there and got a few games in. Now, after an update, that option has been taken away entirely so you'll just spend majority of your entire time running around your little home space indefinitely.

Since it's a free-to-play game, accessories to customize your character cost an in-game currency you can pay real money for. Much like most mobile games, you can spend $10-100 for this in-game currency. The customization doesn't add any unfair advantages (from what I could see) and there are daily tasks you can do to earn the in-game currency slowly.

I'm personally removing the game since finding matches is so difficult to do and I'm not spending money to customize my character. Nice concept for what could have been a successful game, but poorly implemented.

This game is so good it has us completing Major Orders IRL! In game, we were given 6 days to wipe out 2 billion bugs... we did it in 14 hours. Then IRL, Sony declared war against the Helldivers by removing 170+ countries from fighting for Super Earth... in only 3 days, Sony backed down after over 200k Helldivers stood against them. Man I love this community! We stand together fellow Helldivers! 🫡

The game is easy to pick up and fairly fun to play, but since the company who made it no longer exists there is zero online playing, meaning 7 of the Steam Achievements can no longer ever be completed. If you're interested in the game, I'd say get it only if you don't mind not being able to 100% all the achievements.

In all honesty, I mistakenly thought this was another lookout game when I bought it (Fears to Fathom Ironbark Lookout) so when playing I kept waiting for the more spooky and jump scare aspect to start at some point. That said, while this game wasn't the game I was expecting and while it's relatively short, there were several aspects I did like from it and overall it's a good game.

Pros:
* Good story line
* Several dialog options which do influence certain things within the game
* Fairly intuitive UI navigation
* Lots of places to explore for finding hidden gems
* I really liked holding up a paper map and compass for navigation, one not in a paused menu, to add to the immersion

Cons:
* Very linear in progression; many areas can only be accessed after certain chapters of the game have been completed
* Besides a buck you see in the very beginning of the game while hiking to the area, there aren't any animals so it feels like a very empty wilderness
* If you want to explore during the campaign, you essentially have to do so while your boss on the other end of the radio is waiting on you to go somewhere to do something
* I didn't like the cinematic, locked in action of climbing over obstacles, jumping gaps, climbing rocks, or dropping down from them. It seemed to artificially slow things down and gave a disconnect from the gameplay


Some advice for players, since the areas unlock progressively as the story progresses, unless you don't mind navigating to the same areas multiple times or waiting later in the storyline until you've at least acquired the ax, save the exploring for the Special Options in the Main Menu to do a strictly exploring game mode. There you'll have all the equipment (good rope, ax, flashlight, and pitons) laying out for you to pick up before heading out to explore.

Also, technically, there are 2 endings but one isn't so obvious...
At the end you can either get on the evac helicopter or when walking towards it turn around and walk away and it will eventually leave without you.

All in all, I would recommend this game as it was fun, even if it wasn't the game I was expecting to get.

First playthrough of this game and it crashed 4 times at different parts of the storyline.. each time having to restart that scene over. After completing it I went to start it through again and roughly around the first crash from the first playthrough it crashed again and I won't be continuing it again tonight.
While it is a great game, it seems some of the choices so far have no impact on how the storyline goes, only somethings are slightly different. It's almost like the theory of destiny.. that the start and end of a path are constant while everything in the middle, no matter the choice, still leads to the same outcome. Surely, there are 7 endings, which I plan to see each of them as long as the game stops crashing multiple times through a single playthrough, but some choices you think are big and others you think are small are instead reversed or don't matter at all.
For the current price ($12.99) it isn't a bad game to buy and it's interesting to see the dialog to shape a scene, but don't expect more than what it is... a movie where you choose some of the actions to see 1 of a few different endings and a life lesson that every choice may have a smaller or larger impact than you think it could that you have to live with for the rest of your life.

I have over 125 hours on this game and can't get enough. Everything about it feels like it was done right from the storyline to pull you in, the build up of the side missions, even after completing some missions having NPCs call out to you to praise and thank you. There is so much to explore and do in the game, optional things pop up to save NPCs from animal attacks or aiding rebels in attacking a group or fortress. Even killing an NPC person or animal and waiting around you'll see vultures or wolves come to eat on the dead bodies.
Very well thought out and haven't come across noticable bugs in the gameplay since the update. Some bugs were only visable on a triple screen 5760x1080 setup as the world rendering usually would happen just pass the edges of a single monitor like the water for lakes and rivers would be see through and you could see all the way to the ground of the river or lake while taking a photo or controlling Senu.
I hope that going forward they use this model for the gameplay. I would HIGHLY recommend buying this game and the expanded areas

I bought this on the recoomendation of multiple friends telling me how much they enjoyed it and i have to say, Overall, i haven't been disappointed. The matchmaking system could be better, especially for friends, but so far is good for grouping you with people in the same player rank as you are. I HIGHLY suggest completing the Basic AND Advanced training though to learn all the needed moves for playing any match. It's a fairly easy game to pick up, seems like a high replay value, has some good menu music i wished was played during matches, and so far some good competition players. I do love the Save Replay feature after a match that saves the gameplay footage for the entire game for you to save, name, and show off, but i haven't looked if there is a way to post/share or export the video besides watching it on your own device (console or PC). Also, i do want to add i really like how you can choose what servers the game pulls players from. I have friends in England who play that i should be able to have matches with. For anyone who doesn't know, yes, this game does have console and PC players play together.

this is still one of my all time favorite racing games and after turning everything up to High in the graphics it looks SO much better than i remember it from playing on XBox 360.

wish i knew this was on steam before i bought it for my phone. so much more detail! very much looking forward to the multiplayer for this!
