Early Access Review
In its iteration as A New Reckoning, this was literally, LITERALLY (I don't mean that figuratively) the worst game I have ever played. ET on Atari almost killed Atari, and they buried truckloads of the cartridges in the desert, and it was still better than this game. The entire world appeared to be made up of grey drywall, and for inexplicable reasons anything that looked remotely interesting was kept out of reach by invisible walls. The enemies were fine, if you were playing Doom on your 386. The sound, also, seemed like it was supposed to be retro, except it wasn't. I can't think of anything good to say about this game. I see they're running a kickstarter now, and hopefully they're able to take that funding and create something resembling an enjoyable experience with it. It would take a lot of convincing for me to reinstall this turd.

Thanks on the honest comment! You can keep your review if you like. I think this works just as good with you making the statement of what you just wrote! The choice is up to you though. I would suggest replaying the game, and doing a new review. Whether it be a good review or negative review again any feedback would be great!

As far as the specifics, I can't remember what led to my impression of the enemies, other than that I had the impression. I am sorry I cannot help further than that. It looks like you've improved them now anyway.

The invisible walls, though, I do remember. I would try to get to the stairs around the prison, but would not be able to walk to them and would have nothing visible stopping me. This happened with all of the stairs, so it's not like there was a glitch at that certain spot.

Given the state of the game, my review is probably unfair, and I'd be happy to remove it. I will do that whenever you're done with any other questions you have about my experience.

Thanks for reaching out to seek my opinion. I watched your trailer for the new update after having posted the review, and things look much different than what I experienced. I would guess that my review actually has little to do with the current state of the game. What prompted me to post it was a feeling that something was being hidden by the change of the name. I recognize that the game is in early access, which is why I didn't send the negative review when I played, but the name change felt like an attempt to get new people to purchase a game that was receiving negative reviews. I could be way off on the intent, but that's what it felt like on this end.

Also please don't come across as me sounding mean. This is one of the first reviews since the big update so am really gathering feedback here.

As far as the enemies go you said they where fine could you expand on that as well? Fine is ok I guess but am not going for fine. SO whats the matter? I know for a fact you have not gotten to any enemy past the zombies so lets focus on that.

Grey Drywall. Its more than apparent you never made it out of the prison after 1.7 hours of playing the game which is excellent! That means you had about another 4 hours of game play at least.

So besides that what would you like to see different in the game? This review does not help us out at all? Don't feel obligated to say something positive about the game that is not what early access is designed for. Please go into more detail on what we can improve on.

Am curious as to your invisible walls though as there is no invisible walls in the game, and I mean that literally not one.
