[super short quick review at 4.4hrs]

First impressions of the game are very good.
It is incredibly pretty, the atmosphere is just like in the old games. Authentic. Depressing. But also wondrous and adventurous.
Performance is better than expected, however my frames do get halved in the first settlement.

The gunplay is extremely satisfying. Combat is intense, and FUN.
Waiting for an animation to finish when opening inventory or PDA gets on the nerves fast.

So far, have not come across any bugs, but the night is young.
Enemy spawns and group spawns do feel faulty though. Clearing an area of a large boar group only to have it spawn in my face again just a couple minutes later is not gucci.

Repair is a huge money sink, unreasonably so.

English voiceovers are indeed all over the place. Not terribly immersive, but not a deal breaker either.

I understand that this review contains more negative points than positive ones, but that is simply because everything else IS good right now.
None of the things mentioned at the moment are a deal breaker, and will hopefully be patched (or modded) soon.

Слава Україні! 💙💛
