It's a survival game that doesn't take itself (or anything really) seriously, which I found very refreshing !
If you play it for what it is : a light survival exploration game (filled with non stop jokes) that ties up it's story with a linear path at the end, you'll have a good time.

If you're looking for a serious & challenging survival sim - stay away.

TLDR : If you don't care too much about story telling but play xRPGs for the minmaxing and mechanics, this can work for you. If you play these games to be immersed in a story, I'd skip it.


This is tough. Mechanically the game works and combat/skill checks dice rolls make it feel like a table top rpg. The few comments stating the models are rough are true - but that's not why I play RPGs, so a few funky models won't break my immersion.

The writing and voice-acting however are important aspects and this is where this game falls flat. There is a story there, and I do appreciate the effort to try and have voice actors for everything, but in most cases there is either no emotion in the delivery at all or massive over acting - it just almost never fits the current situation and feels very phoned in.
As for the writing, the twists and turns are very predictable and a lot of the time characters will flat out tell you the solution to a "mystery" while talking to each other immediately upon encountering. Think of it like encountering a single chest on it's own surrounded by gore; "look a chest! We probably shouldn't open it because it looks trapped" - but worse because it actually talks about plot points. There are a few places where characters act surprised about a fact they new about for a couple of chapters as well ...

I didn't HATE my time with it, but I didn't feel the classic "awww it's over, I wanted more!" that I get from a divinity, pathfinder or the like. This was more about finishing it because I don't like leaving games unfinished.

A beautiful game and a very unique experience.

It's not easy imagining a story driven game around coping with loss and death without it being a depressing task. Yet somehow, they manage to cram so much care, light and passion into this game that they somehow pull it off.
A lot of comments talk about the sadness, but don't mention the love you experience throughout the game. Anyone who has lost someone in their life will see a glimmer of the process of coming to terms with it in this game. It's a tragic, but very human thing and I'm impressed by the dev team to pull it off so brilliantly.

It's a simplified XCOM with post a apoc style atmosphere and very creative characters
By simplified, I'm talking mechanics and customization, the roots are the same

Now, the loop gets repetitive quick, but that's the nature of those games.

IF you felt XCOM was just "alright", I'd suggest you stay away - otherwise, go ahead

I have no clue how many hours I sunk into the original Doom(s), but the franchise is very dear to my heart
This iteration did not dissapoint and in an industry where every reboot tastes like a reheated meal, this is a breath of fresh air.

Old school shooter with modern looks and mechanics. Flawless execution.

The combat gets clucnky at times but is more or less functionnal
The gfx optimisation is strange at times, but works
Biggest flaw ? 4 hour solo campagne. Just way too short.
