As a casual gamer who doesn't play FPS games, Relic Odyssey has given me an enjoyable little introduction and experience so far. It offers a mix of exploration, crafting and fighting. You start off with a small handheld gun, but once you have the glove, it's an absolute essential and made my overall gameplay all the more fun. The glove has multiple purposes not limited to combat. It has saved me in a few fights after I didn't pay careful attention to my ammo and ran out mid-battle haha. The glove is really useful in collecting resources and minerals and you can also pull and push objects around. I also enjoyed the exploration of the unique environments and gathering of resources with the digging rig. With the digging rig, you can come across mini lab dungeons. Within the labs, you can loot chests and battle cool robot enemies of all sorts that differ from the alien-type monsters. Each time you defeat the mini boss at the end, it'll reward you with lab reports and items which you can ...

Fun shooter with cool enemy designs, and some interesting mechanics. I think the hand-glove thing is what sets it apart from other shooters for me. It's fun pushing around enemies with the hand blast when I want to conserve ammo. And sucking up materials with the glove is really satisfying. Make sure to craft the hand-glove thing as soon as you get the option, cause I almost missed it when I played (and also makes gathering materials way better). Also, the colour choices on the environments and enemies are really nice. Excited to see the next updates!

I can't recommend the game in it's current state. While I understand it's still in early access, there are a bunch of issues I'd like to see addressed. Performance issues: - Booting up the game takes forever on a fresh boot. You'll get the logo, and then the game just hangs for a few minutes. Probably less of an issue if using SSDs for storage - ~~Opening up the graphic settings has a hitch every single time~~ - Generally poor performance. Running on a RTX 4090 + I9-10900KF, on max settings I go from anywhere between 60-90fps, on the lowest settings, I run at 90-120fps at 1080p. While, the game doesn't look like it'd be something that'd max out my system, at the same time however, I've seen games that are visually equally as good looking or better, that runs better for how much resources it uses on my system. Visual Issues: - When I first opened the game, my first thought was that it was hard to distinguish enemies and interactable things from the environment. For enemies, they seem ...

Fun game with a lot of potential. I'm getting some Metroid vibes.

I recommend this fun indie. The game already looks quite decent in early access. Everything is playable, without bugs, I like it.

Enjoying it so far! Lots of interesting game design concepts but not too different. Unique visual style for the environments and enemies. Small nitpick I wish the sound effect for the starter pistol had a bit more oomph to it but I assume that would be an easy tweak. Engineering-wise, the game has seemed quite solid so far. Looking forward to seeing the progress!

Fascinating! However, it's a niche game. More precisely, I mean that it will not appeal to everyone. More specifically...Hm.... I think I'm confusing myself. I like it: + the way the weapons look and the way they shoot :) + the way the locations look + some puzzles and item finding + enemy animations But for example my friend Relic Odyssey : Ruins Of Xantao didn't like it at all and was surprised why I talk about the game with a smile. I don't know, maybe after the developers implement the planned content in the game...maybe I will make him look differently at Relic Odyssey : Ruins Of Xantao ? maybe, maybe, maybe

Craft + magic + shooter + obstacle runner + riddles = Relic Odyssey : Ruins Of Xantao

The game reminds me a bit of the original Alien movie - capturing a compelling descent into mystery. Landing on a planet and unravelling what is happening. It's a genuinely enjoyable experience with a fantastic feel. Looking forward to more.
