This game turned into ABANDONWARE and will receive no more content updates. That's fine but it will close soon or later as well. What a shame and wasted potential. Also, that's why we as a gamers PRAY every day the Stop Killing Gamis initiative to success so these studios won't take away what we paid for. Lucky, I didn't paid for any microtransactions, whatsoever but the game itself cost 40$ and you paid for a copy where in the ToS probably states you rented a license as this is a usual practice these days. As a person who dislikes WoW and other MMO RPG games where you click on the screen with your mouse and have 3 rows of spells and abilities, the New World MMO is differet and it's more like proper Simple-Combat dark sould styled game. I like it a lot actually, the gameplay fits my style. But the end is near. BE AWARE, DO NOT BUT IT! Oh, wait, it's not for sale anymore. GG Amazon!

Too repetitive, not bad but it gets boring after the 3rd time you play it.

It's a good idea for a game with a lot of potential wasted. No players and it's abandonware basically at this point.

While I'm not a big fan of these simulator games because they're poorly made most of the time, with basic/janky animations/mechanics, this one is actually good and fun. The main idea behind thie game is a solid ground and with more future updates it can be a huge successfull title. Maybe also a Multiplayer (if possible) later on can be a great addition to the game so you can collect mushrooms with your friends either in a co-op mode or a score battle. The gameplay is actually challenging when you have to sort the mushrooms before selling them. There's a room for improvement but in overall the game is amazing.

Woaaah! The best game with relaxing gameplay, fun and challenging. Be aware, it's addictive, haha!

My heart is filled with joy because of this amazing game! You can rarely find such a quality treasure nowadays. The passionate developers behind this project deserve respect and admiraitons. They only care to deliver the best experience possible. Usually these type of games are expected to be P2W/Grind crap but here it's different. No microtransactions or any other miserable things. After you buy the game you can join the massive persistent war with thousands of players and have fun. There are 2 fictional teams (Wardens and Colonials) and the goal is for the one team to win this war which can last with weeks or even months. Everything in this game you can think of is made by real players only. That's the best about Foxhole. Every tank you destroy counts, every resource you make helps, every weapon you loose can impact the war. And the most important thing is how you can do whatever you want in this game without any limitations or a chore grind. Want to just drive a tank instantly? Other players made some tanks already. Get one and go at the frontline. Or you want to make some tanks and deliver them to the front instead so other can use the tanks? Sure, be the logistic player you always wanted. You can play at any time and have fun. This is not your second job game where you need to waste your entire time in order to get to the fun stuff. Everything is fun and engaging at any point. I can continue but this review is too long already. And please don't overlook the visuals of this game. That's the charm of the game. None of the 3D realistic and useless capture the point A, B, C, D shooters can do the magical gameplay Foxhole offers. And if we see a 3D game like this, our PC's will explode. About the gameplay please watch a tutorial videos first and you'll udnerstand how to play. It's easy and simple.
11/10!

PLEASE READ CAREFULY BEFORE YOU BUY!

As a huge S.T.A.L.K.E.R fan who played all of the first 3 OG games, I was waiting for the Stalker 2 sequal since it was announced in 2010 as it was supposed to continue the trilogy's immersive story around the Chernobyl disaster and the fictional created zone by unfolding more of the mystery around it. Sadly the development was abandoned. When it was reannounced again in 2020, I was hyped again. But the decision to rebirth the Stalker 2 project again after all of these years, the amount of new members of the GSC team (and less of the OG devs who worked on the old games), the war between Ukraine and Russia later on and and all of the delays made me skeptical. Lucky I can say that the game is great from what I've been able to try myself and despite the worries about the (unreal engine, the A-Life implementaiton, the atmosphere, modding support and everything else) I think GSC made an amazing job but it's still too early to comment deeper and after some time we'll see more. There might be a some bugs as any other game but the overal quality of Stalker 2 is great and the wait was worth it.

IMPORTANT:
This is a HEAVY game! If you're not a visuals maniac who cares how the game looks (it's thruly a masterpiece) and you just want to play it for the story, I'm sorry to disappoint you but this WON'T happen. Don't expect to play it on low with your potato rig. Better DO NOT buy the game if you have low-end PC and save your money. Watch videos first how the game runs on your specifications and buy it only if your hardware can hit stable 30 frames at least. Or otherwise you'll end up with a souvenir in your steam library like me.

I understand how it's impossible to play the newly released games with MAX FPS and EPIC GFX quality on my ♥♥♥♥♥♥ potato PC (Intel Core i5 4460 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA 1050Ti 4GB) but the performance was crap on any resolution from 1920x1080 down to 1280x720 and lower. Everything was set on LOW/OFF and I've tried all of the upscaling options FSR, TSR, XeSS, etc. I was getting from 7-10 up to 45-50 FPS with mostly around 15-25 frames and that's unplayable for a FPS game. And due to the lower resolution you can't properly see anything further than 10m in front of you and you'll only exaust your eyes playing on pircures.

CONCLUSION:
If you can RUN this game, BUY IT! If can't play it, welcome to the club. We can watch a playthrough on YouTube for the story and play it in the future when we upgrade our gaming rigs. If the game was releaed originaly as planned in 2012 the things would be completely different but that's it.

Serena Wen is the best girl in existence! I highly recommend this game because of her. I hope they make a sequel with her.

Refunded... My PC is old potato but still it runs like a crap on low while I run more heavy titles because they're optimized.
Also driving controls are awful as hell. Gun aim is awful and weird. Bought it because it says Online PVP but all you can maybe do is invade your friends later on. Too many bugs and problems currently, camera when driving is slow motion and weird. Naaah, sorry but this ain't my game. (Still try it first, you might like it idk...)

The whole game idea is good, but I have 3 major complaints.
First of all, there are a lot of bugs making the game unplayable (crashes, stocks, etc.), and you have to restart it.
Second, this may be a personal preference, but the game theme is Asian girls. If this was an American version, I would rate it with YES.
The third problem is that your game can quickly end early, and you get locked out. Not sure if that's because of my sh*t choices at some point, but you get robbed and beaten. You end up without the option to continue and get a girlfriend ending unless you replay the previous chapters to match everything, and this breaks the feel of being able to choose freely... Also, this affection level requirement can be annoying at some point if you fail to fulfil it and move further.
