Jeu globalement bien optimisé, plié en 25H environ. Suffisamment beau, 120 fps la majorité du temps, (3080 & 7800x3d en ultra 1080p)
Aucun crash, juste le son qui s'est coupé 2 ou 3 fois, j'ai reboot le jeu et c'est revenu, à priori le bug est connu.
Côté immersion c'est pas mal.
Le gameplay est répétitif cependant. L'histoire manque de profondeur, on ne comprends pas grand chose de plus après la fin, même en ayant ramassé et lu la majorité des documents.
En espérant que le DLC à venir améliore un peu la partie histoire.
Je recommande tout de même l'expérience, le jeu n'est pas hors de prix pour 25h.

A lot better than DLC #2, new mecanics even if it's not revolutionary, some new bestiary (not much though).
Last boss fight is challenging. Like DLC #1 was.
Not too long, but the story is interesting, Nastya is hot, and your Katya baby <3 is there all along.
Good DLC !

B.O exceptionnelle , jeu apaisant, direction artistique magnifique.
Très bon moment passé dessus.

After completing the story in the first difficulty, I will recommend this game BUT there are a few issues, that makes it not good enough yet.
It is not as addictive as the first one, no real stress, no sense of emergency, in the first one you had to sacrifice something each time, but here you can globally finish most chapters with ressources at a good level.

UI isn't very intuitive, lower left part is absolutely useless, some buttons are hidden pretty well (you need to select specific buildings for example).

So you just see the world as numbers, I guess they wanted you to see the point of a leader, who manage his town from his office, not having any idea what it's like to work in the cold, the hunger or whatever. Games feels too distant.
Political parties are a nice touch but it's no very hard to bargain with them to have what you want.
I already was ready to have Captain's Authority when the story asked for it, just had to push a button and chapter was swiftly done, LOL.
Only the winterhome chapter was has hard because of my choices and because I thought I had a lot of time, seeing how the rest was going on.

Hopefully DLCs will be better, but for a 45€ base game , not even 10 hours to complete the story isn't really a good performance...
I probably should've played on a higher difficulty I guess, but I don't like doing things again and again either, so...
I will try the Utopia Builder soon.

In fewer words, game is a little unbalanced, too expensive for its playtime (so wait), not optimised (a simple map with some building and we can't have smooth gameplay !? COME ON, particularly the huge freeze at each autosaving)
It's not a bad game, most issues will be solved soon, but it's nothing like FP1, you'll still have fun, not the same way,

This DLC was pretty challenging on my part on the ORB boss. Took me many runs to kill him in normal mode.
I had fun doing this DLC even I didn't really understand when I was in the story/ alternative universe.

Welp, another review, yeah it's close to Bioshock, but not as entertaining story-wise. Graphics are good enough, environments are nice to explore, I liked the soundtrack too.
Game Mecanics are pretty standard. I played in "normal mode", and found the difficulty challenging at first but then you get better and better. Just using melee at the end on most mobs.

The infamous "owls/drones" that endlessly repops are one of the main negative points. They makes you rush things so you don't stay close to them too long. They should have allowed the possibility to disable them at some point.
The open-world was a bad idea, Bioshock/Half-life fans don't want that guys, we like pretty hallways/maps and don't care about a little loading screen between each levels.
I must-say I really liked the "no load screen" policy while using elevators. Nice touch.

I wished the ending had been a little better than that though.

I'm really disappointed on keyboard bindings, as you can't bind your classic movement keys as the vehicles keys, and must use wasd to use vehicles. Such bug should have been fixed on day one...
I wanted to play with russian dub (with subs) for a better gameplay but your pal always talk while in combat so you can't read the subs... I must say I didn't understand much of what he said...

Maybe a little less looting would have been better too.

Anyway, the game is good enough, there aren't enough games like bioshock/half-life so I still recommend it, I had fun for ~25 hours cleaning it.
And I really liked the NORA character :).

Sorry but this boring platform-ish DLC has nothing to do with the game.
Just grinding apples and coins to get "weapon skins" for the main game.
They could have used the limbo in much better ways.

Bored after first level, I discovered there was more levels, didn't even try to see if it was better.

Expérience intéressante, un peu entachée par la répétitivité des combats et puzzles.
Pas mal de drop de FPS malgré un 120FPS moyen occasionnant quelques ralentissements ponctuels malgré un pc costaud (1080p full options RT, 7800X3D + 3080 OC)
Manque d'explications sur certains mécanismes dont l'équilibre sur les poutres, les lenteurs lorsqu'on se relève sont agaçantes.
Reste un bon jeu indé avec des graphismes très beaux, je regrette le manque d’interactivité quand on marche dans les flaques d'eau vu leur présence constante au fil des niveaux, des remous auraient permis une meilleure expérience encore.

Je recommande tout de même cet ovni au global.

Un jeu sans âme où on ne fait que farmer des map sans originalité, voir répétitive pour tout ce qui est hors de la quête principale (une map pour les bases, 2 pour les mines et basta, merci les leveldesigner).
Comme ça ne suffit pas le jeu nous oblige à farmer,
et le principe même du jeu est de tout recommencer encore et encore...
Il y a des bugs bloquants, qu'on ne peut outrepasser que par des mods à l'heure de commentaire.
Les personnages sont insipides. Le tout est est à la sauce wokisme à outrancce.
Bref un jeu qu'on oubliera aussi rapidement qu'on l'a acheté. Je ne recommande à personne ce jeu.

On va pas se mentir, c'est décevant, pas de but, les faiblesses du game design sont présentées comme des features... Contrôles franchement pas terrible, environnements banales...
Soit disant un jeu "à part". Moui, dans la section "je n'y jouerais plus jamais" !
