I would love to recommend this game, however it is so poorly optimized that it is impossible to truly play. I have done everything I can to try and make this game run better and it just will not. Tons of stuttering and lags, especially when things get intense, but even occasionally braking a few boxes. For a Souls-like where timing is everything, really ruins the experience. I loved the first game, and this one seems nothing but an improvement everywhere except optimization.

It's a game all about timing, but it stutters and runs terrible right now. I had to give up despite wanting to keep going.

I am loving this game. I have had it on my wishlist since before it came out and just finally decided to buy it 5 months later when it was on sale, thinking I would enjoy it here or there but not enough to justify buying it right away, I even skipped a few sales. But now that I finally got it, it's the only game that I actually want to play and am enjoying right now. The overall atmosphere and vibe of the game is just perfect, whether hauling loads or hunting for scrap. This game is the perfect mix of relax, but pay attention for me. If you relax too much you start crashing into debris or other trucks, so it keeps you engaged and I love it. Planning trips so you find the right stores that will pay extra for the items you are hauling in the cab adds an extra layer to it as well that I enjoy. The only thing that worries me is after story missions and I fully upgrade my truck I'm not sure what will keep me going, but for now that's many hours away still!

EOMM, what a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke

New mechanics are really cool and made me start enjoying the game again a bit, until I got back to hazard 4 and 5. The tedium is still there and its a false difficulty. Difficulty is still "throw more enemies at them." In order to play the game with this, you have to attack 1 time, run away for a minute, attack 1 time, run away, etc etc until the level is beat. If you even try to do a combo you get stun locked by 5+ enemies attacking at slightly different times and are dead. Boring and trash way to make difficulty scale in a game. Enemies being harder is fine, but endless mobs of enemies is just stupid. As of now, I still don't recommend until the endgame is better balanced.

Really want to like this game, but I find it more frustrating and a chore to play than fun. Overall the idea and gameplay is fun, but when you start getting into higher difficulties its just such a fake difficulty that they put in the game and it ruins it entirely. The "difficulty" comes from larger hordes of enemies at once with less ability to stun, or staggering their attacks just enough you have to constantly dodge. I don't know how many times Ive had a huge group of enemies in a combo, then take them into the air just to get hit and a huge chunk of health taken just because I missed one or 2 in my combo and they attack me while I am in the air juggling enemies and have no chance to dodge. I want to like this game but once I got to danger level 5, maybe a little even in 4, its just such a chore.

Such a ♥♥♥♥ game, just play Remnant and Remnant 2

Optimization is straight garbage

Honestly, reviewing it late after my initial play through, but I loved this game. I played it through with one of my gaming buddies and we enjoyed every bit of it, from the competitive mini games, the story, and the puzzles. I have been thinking about playing through it again, and am excited to do it! Long story short, if you like some mild puzzles and have a friend or significant other to play this with, it is definitely worth it even for just one play through.

Hacking is still rampant, and now people are toxic trash with voice chat

Can't even name your own character.

So many bugs and issues, day one missing features and adding a paid skin shop. But the worst thing is, when creating a character, if you try to use your own name it fails a lot of the time. It worked in the earlier beta, then did not work in the pre-order beta, and still doesn't work upon full release of the game. (and worst because its a bad sign they can't even get that going, should be such a simple fix they just ignore)

If they can't even fix something that simple to allow people to create the character they want with the name they want, my faith in Fatshark is going downhill. Loved VT and VT2, but this is just ridiculous.

Also I pre-ordered the Imperial Edition, yet its so bugged that I don't have access to the OST.
