Shadow of Mordor was just so balanced, the moves worked exactly as you would expect. Shadow of War supposed to be that but more. But nooooo lets ♥♥♥♥ up everything we can. With all the enemies shat in one place the game cant decide what to do, it's jank beyond redemption. I was stoked for the game now im here at the 2nd act, slamming the difficulty down to absolute zero, and ignoring literally everything thats not strictly needed for the main story.
Controls are ass, the UI is abysmal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the massive handholding tutorial is insulting at best and infuriating beyond measure at worst.
Shelob slutsona is doing some HEAVY heavy lifting here.

The fact alone that the true stalker experience filters this many people is amazing. Highly recommended.
Great atmosphere and gameplay. Dodgy performance in endgame. A-life needs a fix.

08.18 update: The beatings continue until morale improves.
The cope video addressed the major issues not giving a damn about everything else, and just painting them with a broad "we aim to improve" stroke, while showing the same issues, but with some old functionality added back in, amazing

Whoever said this UI/UX is fine should be hanged by his balls.
Half the buttons are redundant and do NOTHING
Half of the rest of the buttons do something that's already done better by another button.
The space menu that should help is redundant most of the time. Say you want to hire a hunter, you can click hire, OR YOU CAN USE THE SPACE MENU TO ACCESS THE HIRE BUTTON AND NOTHING ELSE.
Basic interactions like back vary randomly between ctrl, esc, f, backspace or whatever twinkletoeass button they came up with.
First thing you see is the shop offers because why not, and pressing esc does what? That's right! Stays there, just show you 2 more buttons one of which are redundant.
Start is moved to the left side for some reason, while leaving party is next to the most used button for some reason. If anyone joins the team you get booted back into the main screen with all your changes being dropped, because ofc its not saved and ofc with the new system it takes a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of time to do the same thing you used to be able to do with 3 clicks.
I could harp on about all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just with the UI, and we're not even at the performance issues, how sure my fps is stable but not I get model and texture pop ins in the middle of the fight.
Its absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ attrocious.
THE GAME IS BROCKEN, FIX IT

UNPLAYABLE
Crashes out the ass, can't even get into a game without the game just freezing up after supposedly successfully loading in only to see it crashing 5 minutes later
not fit for release, they just wanted to ride the tarkov drama waves(same disgusting pricing model too)
edit:dont be fooled by the positive reviews, 99% of them are just "yeah i'll show the tarkov devs" cope, the rest are the lucky ones who managed to get it working
this is not a state to release in early access, it's barely an alpha

let's do a quick math
4 survivors 1 killer
that means that realistically at any point its 80% of the playerbase against 20% of the playerbase, sure there are some who play both sides but thats nearly irrelevant, most people main one side or the other
now what will a scummy degenerate company do to try and keep the favor of the players?
absolutely pamper the 80%
i've played various moba, mmo, standard competitive, you name it, and by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOD bhvr has the worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ balance team i've ever witnessed, and im not talking about moves like caving in to review bombing after nerfing the weakest killer even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ harder because the casuals of 80% REFUSED TO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ READ, im talking about constant patches to just ♥♥♥♥ that 20% over, because they can't have nice things, they're just 20%, not 80
survivors keep getting second, third, fouth chances while killers have to deal with them abusing them, and the game's abysmal design
bhvr literally just had a fairy tale level idea of how the game should play, and they refuse to acknowledge all the abuse it comes with
when they finally realize okay thats bad(usually years, see dead hard and decisive strike) they either make it a pathetic attempt at a band aid which achieves ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing, or instantly introduce another change that if not straight up replaces the issue, then doubles down on it
survivors actively need to keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up both regular gameplay and their second/third/xth chances to lose even against the strongest killers, while killers have to keep playing pretty much perfectly to win
this might sound as an overstatement, but setting up 4 survivors with no perks against any killer with no perks, the survivors will always win, unless they ♥♥♥♥ up and leave the 3gen cluster for the end
absolutely pathetic, but keep putting in ♥♥♥♥♥♥ flags, we need those

nice ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ changes really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ helps driving people even more mad, as if the ♥♥♥♥♥ infested eu servers werent enough the coordinator is constantly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ down
im not saying the game has to be perfect all the time but for a game that has frequent 1M concurrent player peaks the servers should ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ handle less than 300k people

One of the best games I ever played, glorious contender to be in the top 5 rated games of steam.
Shoutout to Kovarex for fighting the good fight. Godspeed.

People tend to see the game for what was promised and not there rather than what is there. And let me tell you, what is there is amazing. Vulkan support drops soon so even better performance for this amazing game. Set the sfx to 10-20 and max out the music volume.

The sole thought of people actually getting paid to make this abomination just fills me with endless rage and unmeasurable disgust.
Horribly unbalanced, rng ♥♥♥♥♥♥ through the ceiling, littered with bugs with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ interface.
RNG is so bad 5 people goes for lets say scrappy and one of them will have four 3 star while none other have a 3 star. The only "upgrade" from autochess, is that its at least guaranteed you get an item in loot rounds. Will it be the most overpowered item or something you can straight up shove up your ass? Who knows!
Your game is bad and you should feel bad.

Even though the graphics are not top notch and the game itself is extremely weakly optimized I still recommend it just for the gameplay. It creates a rather amazing atmosphere. Though its not designed to be a horror game, it creates a lot of tension where you just want to move as slowly and as unnoticable as possible and when you fail you start to panic and run from the drone that caught you.
The mechanics are amazing,Taking the idea to actually work the gun and not just press a button that does everything is just the perfect idea. The voice on the tape is very calming and it creates a nice little contrast with the atmosphere.
Bugs are nonexistent however the map generation is sometimes a bit strange.

The game offers a real challenge as opposed to today's call of duty "hints everywhere every second for everything" standard.

I can whole heartedly recommend this game but keep in mind that the optimization is 1/10.
