Honestly I can't recommend this game enough and hope more people start playing it as its got everything. yes it needs work and the game needs optimizing better. After lots and lots of testing with the graphics to get this game to look and run well as I know this is what will put people off, as it almost did me at first. I have added my in game graphic settings that I have played around with for a few hours as some setting actually make the game unplayable or look like mud that really shouldn't have such an impact when changed. obviously things may need to be adjusted depending on the pc set-up you have but with mine it runs and looks amazing with very little FPS drops. (my pc specs are added here) DLSS/FSR must be run on (performance) anything else the FBS tank or the picture becomes bury Ray Tracing (LOW) Textures (medium) post-processing and anti-aliasing (Epic) can drop to high but anything less you lose the look graphical look of the game Shadows (medium) Effects (medium) Foliage (low) trust me this game still has soooo much foliage on this setting. View Distance (High) Motion Blur (off) Shaders/Global illumination (High) reflections (high) any less and the water looks shocking and this game has a lot of water in it. Nanite Detail (high) this was a big one as any higher the FPS tanks and any lower it looks muddy Hardware Ray tracing (Disabled) I really hope this helps people get the best from this game as the game is amazing and loads of fun to be in and has so mush going on in it. Hats off to the DEV team for making a game with so much to do in it. I do think the snow in the game needs to come for longer or even for a few in game days as this looks amazing and actually makes the game run better for some reason and also adds the cold aspect that makes things harder when exploring the map. also the UI really does take some getting used to but stick with it as its easy after a bit of game time with it. but please DEV's sort it out as it shouldn't be so button clicky and makes it feel slow at times. I really hope this review helps and I would absolutely pick this game up now its on sale you will not be disappointed.

Picked this up an hour ago or so.... Game is awesome. Glad i got it up. Its an Early Access game, there are bugs, graphical glitches.. But, shooting feels great the world looks beautiful. Intense fun! Looking forward to see how this shapes up more.... Good job Devs!

This is a very fun game, reminds me of a mix between 7D2D and SOTF! Early stage so it will only get better!

I am loving this game. Apart from a few technical issues the game runs fine and has become my favourite stalker game, much better than Stalker 2. This has better enemy AI and A-life. The monsters or zombies are so believable and are not your usual type, there feel like zombies from hell. The human enemy is also deadly and will hunt you down. All in all the game delivers intense combat. Crafting is fairly simple but does the job well, not getting in the way of game-play. Build multiple bases around the map to keep navigating the map to a minimal. The map is big and you are on foot.

All i ask for is effort. Dev is putting in effort. only gripe is that i cant see my body which would have expected from a game like this that gears itself towards realism or at least the general direction. (but not make or break for me) a little rough around the edges as its early access, once again not make or break because i understand it takes time to iron this stuff out. Anyone who has given a negative review does not understand this is not a fully V1.0 polished game. Nonetheless, I am excited to see where this game goes and would recommend. It does appear there might be some concern with dev abandoning the game, but ill give the dev benefit of the doubt and give him a few more weeks to see if any updates roll out. if not assume its abandoned and my review will change.

It's a good game, but it needs an otpimization pass in the worst way. The pop in texture quality of the ground and surroundings whenever you turn your camera or run. (They initially appear super muddy/blurred and then sharpen to full res over 5-10 seconds was a real nuisance, and not hearing enemies until they were almost ontop of you proved annoying. The core gameplay loop itself is fun, if a bit repetitive in early game, and the gun play feels good. Over all a solid title that just needs more development, and a full optimization pass to be playable. Also worth noting keybinds are already in the game, so it can be easily remapped to your liking.

im going to be 100% honest game has alot of potential but its very blurry even on a 4060RTX with all the good settings its always blurry, but the game itself is awesome sauce 8/10 because its blurry. Please fix the blurryness
