they didn't add the crafting system yet so they could focus on adding the cash shop

Fall guys is mid

(they added mandatory epic games account ♥♥♥♥, do not buy this steaming pile of poo)

pretty good

Probably the best WWII FPS I've played, and the best FPS I've played in a long while. Worth every penny.

However, in the past week there has been a serious influx of Chinese players. This wouldn't be a problem, but they come into every server, stick to their own teams, speak Chinese, have unreadable names, do not cooperate as a team, and some are your typical hackers. Couple these issues with the fact they have unreliable connections, high ping, and make everyone else suffer, the game is sadly not worth buying until the developers introduce some form of region lock or more Chinese servers.

Edit (08/02/21): If I could change this to a mixed review I would. There is still a problem with the influx of Chinese players in non-Chinese servers, however the devs have implemented several Chinese/Asian dedicated servers in the past week or two, and a couple of unofficial CN servers have popped up. Most Chinese players have gone to these (because obviously it is better for them to play with Mandarin-speaking players, and people in the same region with lower pings), but the issue is not 100% resolved yet.

Less of a review more of a warning.

Regardless of the 9s and 10s, this game is far from worth it. As well as the Steam reviews of people with a handful of hours praising it to be one of the best games of all time.

Suffers with massive performance issues. Graphics were clearly downgraded and are on par with the console versions, even at ultra. Yet you will struggle to maintain 40FPS on medium, even with higher end cards.

Vegetation is terribly done. Grass and small plants are static. Small trees and bushes are made entirely of light, and pass through Geralt with ease.

Game has many bugs and AI issues too.

It's clear not much effort was put into the game performance and visual-wise. Lack of optimisation makes the game far from worth the $60 asking price.

Developers lied about exploration too. Remember when they said "If you see it, you can go there"? Well... You can't. "No invisible walls" ring a bell? False too. Whilst they're not invisible walls, if you stray too far from the enclosed map, you get a warning that you've "reach the world's end" and must "turn back". If you fail to turn back, the map opens up and you must fast travel somewhere.

Do not trust CDPR. People always went on about Valve being for the gamer, and yet they aren't. The case is the same with CDPR.

Finally, to put things into perspective:
My rig:
r5 3600
GTX 1080ti
16 gigs of RAM, and all the rest.

I get 40 FPS at most with plenty of drops running on medium at 1440p. The game looks like something from 2013.

Disgusting.

good

abandonware - don't touch

give me my nitro points! steamy weamy nitro ritro points!

I bought this back in 2011. It's still nowhere near finished and updates are few and far between. It's abandonware; do not buy.

Have to edit this because people have poor reading comprehension.

The game wasn't always on Steam, and I put in plenty of time back when it was getting a good amount of updates (2011-early 2013). Ever since then the game has hardly changed at all, and arguably the earlier versions were a lot better.

The latest update (build 40 as of writing this) was released 30th October 2018. Build 39 was released on May 31st. That's 4 months for a single major update. Now you must be thinking, wow it must have added a lot? Nope, it took them 4 months to add some rain and make some changes to how the character feels temperature.

This is the running cycle of these updates. Months apart with what feels like very little change. Most of the good content that should've been in the game by now was provided by modders. They even went and took mods to save them the effort of doing some actual work on the game.

It's abandonware, plain and simple. Much like many games released on EA, don't expect this to release any time soon.
