I see I have a lot of time in this game. I don't know how it happened, it's super boring. There's a very nice environment to find some neat stuff for you to look at (well, mostly the castle), but eventually you realize that is the only thing of value here. In defense of my playtime, for a long time it feels like a great tutorial section that keeps unlocking new shiny stuff that you don't yet realize will not add to complexity, it's a decent trick. It kept me going, and going, and when I realized it would add up into being an actual game, I did some sunk cost thinking and finished it anyway.

I guess I'm just too old for this one. Go figure, the Harry Potter game is literally made for children. Nothing wrong with that. I just don't get what other (adult) people see in it.

I can't believe they made this into an actual Stalker game, like nobody told them it's not 2007 anymore. I was expecting some streamlined modern ♥♥♥♥ that makes you wonder why you bother playing games at all. But nah. These people still got it.

Yes, it's basically early access right now, but the important bit by far is that it's good. And it is.

You kind of have to suck at it to have the most fun. Using optimal strats all the time gets tedious.
Even so it's a solid game. I paid full price, no regrets.

If you want to play XCOM but get upset when the 90% shot misses, play this game instead.
