I haven’t even started with satisfactory 1.0, I’m still behind on DSP the dark swarm update. Factorio coming out soon and I’m eyeing Alan Wake 2 that’s on a sale right now, while I just recently bought the DLC for Against the Storm that I only played for a few hours.
I need help
Guys its getting harder and harder every year to still hope this turns out okay
In some ways I wish they cut even more, act 3 felt bloated and very badly paced to the point it felt like a slog to get through.
I have 0 expectations or hopes for it. Hope some people find it fun, I personally have such a backlog of good games from trustworthy and beloved developers that the only way I’m going to get this is on a 80% discount in a few years, if ever.
It’s a weird game. You’re not really supposed to play it like a game and have fun like in a game lol, if that makes sense.
For example - you should avoid combat if you can. Take only one or few enemies at a time and that’s if you are in good condition (not panicked, exhausted, in pain, malnourished and drunk at the same time)
Never run anywhere, it just tires you out and creates noise. Calmly walk away from zombies and lose them by breaking LoS. This takes practice and is generally tedious
Don’t do fun stuff like rely on vehicles or guns too much, at least in the early game. They are noisy and attract too much attention, you use them once you have enough ammo and a place to fall back to in case it goes wrong. Cars are great once you have a secured base away from the main city areas but aren’t that useful for city exploration.
Bases are not really safe. You can barricade all you want but if one zombie starts banging on it, soon the others will join due to noise. Generally you want to be out of reach and hidden rather than well defended. Proactively clear out the areas you spend a lot of time in.
etc. etc. It’s much more of a simulator than a game at times, for better and worse. I have a love hate relationship with it xd
