It's a tough early grind, but it catches up quickly. Good story, great graphics and atmosphere, and the settings/maps are excellent. The voice acting, what there is of it, is solid if not just a bit emotionless. All in all, I have zero regrets about this purchase and look forward to what comes next (more 'flavor' to the base, mother and father backstory, and character customization would be awesome!).

It is not often that I will give a game a glowing review. But this game deserves it.

There are honestly tons of things I can praise about this game, so lets get to it: 1 - Very Well Optimised: It's made with Unreal Engine, but I suspect it's UE4, because it suffers from none of the usual problems that plague UE5 games. It runs buttery smooth on my mid range gaming PC - solid 60 FPS, with absolutely no frame drops. And what's so incredibly impressive about this is that you can have hundreds of Enemy Monsters on screen, with VFX going off and damage numbers - And no frame drops!!
