Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this early-access STALKER-style shooter for its atmosphere, gunplay and open-ended exploration, but they warn about harsh enemy AI and an unfinished state.

Many players praise the atmosphere of the Zone-like world, the detailed gunplay with bullet drop and ballistics, and the freedom to tackle missions in several ways, from stealth sniping to airstrikes. Players describe the game as an immersive sim that does not hold your hand: there are no quest markers, the map has no 'you are here' icon, and you have to read directions and learn which factions are friendly. Some players find the enemy AI too accurate, with guards spotting and shooting from very far away, and say that the difficulty can feel unfair, especially in permadeath runs. Others complain about the lack of a player marker, unfinished content, bugs and a faction system that makes early encounters punishing. Recent reviews are more critical of the lack of content and of the AI, though most still recommend it and treat the criticism as expected for early access.

Praised

  • Atmospheric, STALKER-style world

    Players enjoy the unsettling Zone setting, with anomalies, artifacts, weather and a living world where NPCs roam and fight over loot.

    Many players
  • Responsive, detailed gunplay

    Players praise the weapon handling, bullet drop, realistic ballistics and the mix of real and kitbashed guns.

    Many players
  • Open-ended, multiple approaches

    Players like that missions can be solved in several ways, such as stealth, direct assault, mines or artillery, and that the systems interact.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Enemy AI spots and shoots too accurately

    Players say enemies detect them from very far away and land precise shots, which can feel unfair and cheap.

    Many players
  • Unfinished content and bugs

    Players note locked doors, unfinished areas, few weapons and armour, and bugs typical of early access.

    Many players
  • Harsh difficulty and death loops

    Players report deaths in one burst of fire, long runbacks and hostile factions that make early play frustrating.

    Some players
  • No player markers, unclear quests

    Players dislike the missing map position marker and quests that give little guidance, forcing them to look things up.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy STALKER-like exploration, hardcore shooting and figuring things out without markers, and who accept early-access rough edges.
Who should skip it
Players who want polished content, forgiving difficulty or quest markers should wait for a fuller release.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours are more likely to mention repeated playthroughs, mods wishes and the wish for more content, while newer players focus on the difficulty and the lack of guidance.
