Not my game.

game becomes repetetive quite quick.
go out, find stuff, scrap stuff, put it in your trunk, repeat.

exploring is ok, i guess.
but i guess i'll just second hand game this and watch it on youtube instead

This game has unskippable Cutscenes.
This just tells me, it doesn't respect your time.

I don't want to see a 5 to 10 minute video essay of someone who drinks himself to death, before i can play the actual game...
so no, this isn't even worth getting it for free

It is not worth the 70% discount. I don't even want it gifted any more.

It took 45 minutes to get over the friggin tutorial and intro cinematics and stuff.
it was an 80 minutes till you could make any meaningful decision (aka go left or right at an intersection) coz till then, all levels were pretty much just straight hallways.
(ok not straight, but no branches...) triggered enemies and quicktime events... and jumpscares.
i got bored after about 90 to 100 minutes in and requested a refund.

While i enjoy a good survival Horror this is not one of those.
This is just a Deadspace Clone, and a bad one at that.
The story, from what i got so far, is that the warden somehow is in some kind of cult and loves evolution and thinks that bad mutating things are the next step, yadda yadda.
same story as in dead space...
yeah dead space had the same 'go in a tunnel and have some jumpscares' game as this is, but deadspace was 2008 and had some kind of exploration, and that was innovative back then. This is from 2022.

If you want suspenseful survival horror play Alien Isolation.
That has you fearing for your life.
It doesn't jumpscare you (ok once or twice in the whole 30 hour game...) The beast is always present on the map or in the vents... and you don't know when it will strike, thus making all your actions count.
Here you just pick up your gun/poky stick and when an enemy comes you spamclikc LMB till it goes away or dies.

this doesn't make this game scary but rather tedious...
So no TCP is not worth any money - except maybe, you haven't ever played any survival horror ever

Somehow the game convinced me it was more than it actually was.
It wanted to be some kind of tycoon or transport simulator, but actually was just a puzzle game.

it's a shame.
first of all, there is no sandbox mode.
i hate playing campaigns, especially if those campaigns involve all the unskippable tutorials which show you 'click here, click there and do it as i say otherwise you can not progress'.
This was the first red flag for me
after i was 5 missions in, it still held me by the hand not letting me do my stuff and just told me what i had to do and when.
oh don't think you can skip any of that.
the game will pause for the moment it gives you that box and you have to press and hold a button in order to proceed, so no 'just let it run in the background while watching tv' or anything like that.
this game does everything right to "P.... you off"

this might be the right games for the younger audiences of arround 12 to 16 years old.... but for anyone more mature than that it's a shame
if you want a transport simulator to have you connect industry a to b and then distribute that - go play transport fever... 1 or 2

This game is mainly a loading screen simulator.
Wanna go from planet to orbit? loading screen.
Wanna go from planet to it's moon? loading screen.
Wanna go from moon to new system? guessed right, a loading screen.
Wanna go down to the planet? loading screen.
Wanna go out of your ship? loading screen!
Not to mention you have to get into the ship to enter another loading screen.

So to get from planet to planet, you have to endure 5 or 6 loading screens.
Not to mention the woke trash in it.
Want to see a white man? well, that is going to be a challenge!
but that's not even the worst point so far.

pretty much everyone played Baldurs Gate 3 so far.
you have absolute Freedom in the way you play that.
Want to side with the goblins and get the druids? fine by the game, viable option.
want to side with the druids? cool - do whatever you like, the game thought of it.

here i have the option to tell my companion 'hey i don't want to have you in my party any more, please leave'
the NPC says 'you are not getting rid of me that easy' and then stays.

Cool - and why exactly have i picked the introvert option at the beginning? now the game is punishing me for choosing a Starter trait that gives me bonuses on how i want to play my game.
But no no - todd thought of everything and just forces you to have teammates.

This game is hard on the brink of being trash.
This is hardly game of the year material.
It's barely able to get game of the week award.

It's left 4 dead in fancy new graphic.
But where L4D was intentional comically with some of its characters, which was fun, this one is just annyoing.
in the New York mission the train driver got on my nerves so hard...

you either are a serious call of duty like zombie shooter, or you are a comic relief game, but you can't be both.
also the L4D community is still strong and going and you find lots of players there.

here it is just... well you and some bots

Not worth anyones time.
Flashy flashy Ubisoft animations that distract you from the gameplay, which is worse than any other rainbowsix game that has ever been published.

yeah it's nice that you have to stealth your way thru a section in order to take down some alien scum.
but really... jsut play rainbox six vegas or 2 or siege and you are way better off.


should've known better before buying this game... with a 75% discount not even a year after release. lol

I just can't take it any more.

hell, i've been in the game for about 30-ish minutes, and the game installed the shaders for about 5 of them.
ok fine so far, that needs to be done.

then i'm on a rowboat rowboating or propellering down a stream, with some conservation going on.
ah i see the end of the stream/canal, ok now i have control over the character i'm playing, and can do stuff and explore ♥♥♥♥.
WRONG!
It takes a right turn, i follow some other dude in a propellorboat and then i can lave! ok now i can explore?
WRONG!
I can follow a predesigned path and get more exposition.
there is also a parade and all that shiny stuff that soviets love.
eternal flame? ok,. let' me try to climb that pedestal there.
NOPE!
invisible wall
can i go there?
NOPE!
invisible wall

ok, i play along an follow that route to a lab, where i get 5 more minutes of exposition, that i don't want, need or ask for.
can i now play the game?
NOPE!
i have to follow another path into a big house, city hall or something. ok looks impressive - if it was real and i would've been there.
up an elevator - my moving space is about 2 x 2 meters, and i get to hear 90 seconds of exposition.
now i'm on top and there is the first highlight
it's the robot twings.
Damn those are some eyecandy <3
but what's that?
i have the key i'm send to get here and... i have to attend the 90 second elevator ride back down.
till now i'm about 16 minutes in game, and have had no freedom or game at all, just exposition in form of dialouge and some cutscenes.
back down i'm shoved into a car
nice! now i can drive, so Cyberpunk or GTA style right?
WRONG!
i get a tour with some helicopter - flying pig - bot, and it swrils me arround all those fancy sights.
for another 10 minutes...
I'm off to get me a snack in the kitchen by now, since i'm bored by this game...
back at my seat i see that some bot is attacking my car - flying pig robot whatever, and i crash in a lab.
ok ok ok now it gets exciting.
WRONG!
i get shoved into another exposition dump, and another cutscene, and get shoved into an elevator when the first bots went rogue.
ok but now i can finally do some pew pew and chop and kung fu moves?
NOPE!
i can see a cutscene where that elevator falls down, and i black out.
i get my vision back and now i can move?
WRONG!
i can get another cutscene where the camera pans arround the character i'm suposed to play.. i get first person view again
now i can play my character?
NOPE!
I can get another cutscene where i go to a metal bar or something.
didn't care
I'm 31 minutes in the game by now, and that's when i hit ALT +F4 and got a refund on this game.

Maybe the intro was over by that point, maybe not, i don't know, i don't care, i don't give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore.

I rather go back to play sea of thieves or factorio by this point and watch some stargate atlantis, SG-1 or whatever show was on TV a few years back.

Really anticipated more of this game, after hearing all that praise i've seen online and in youtube vid recommendations
But i want to play it, not see some cutscenes.
when i'm not controlling the character that i'm supposed to play, i'm watching a movie (that's a fact dear gamedevs or better movie directors...)

i'm just watching a let's play now, since i'm getting that for free, and have about the same ammount of freedom to do stuff there as if i would pay that ammount of money seen above.

Schade, derzeit nicht zu empfehlen. Nicht für 50 Euro.
Man nicht einmal einen ordentlichen EVA machen ohne dass einem das spiel herumbuggt.

für 50 erwarte ich eigentlich ein fertiges spiel.
Wenn EA dran steht, dann vlt für 20, da wäre es kurzweilig.

der einzige Grund es jetzt zu kaufen ist, das da im Roadmap steht, es wird mit mehr features eigentlich nur noch teurer.

Schade - KSP 1 war genial und fast fertig selbst im EA.

Da startete ich das Spiel
und auf einmal redet das Menü mit mir

Ich frage im Forum wie das auszuschalten ist, da es mich stört, selbst wenn mir im Spiel selbst alle 3 sekunden beim mouseover irgnedwo gesagt wird 'menüpunkt so und so'

Man riet mir die Barrierefreiheitseinstellungen
ok, klingt logisch.
Alle Einstellungen rumprobiert.
Die stimme redet immer noch mit mir
An allen Einstellungen rumgespielt, stimme redet immer noch mit mir.


Bevor dieses Spiel keinen Knof hat mit dem man die AI Stimme abschalten kann, damit ich nicht bei jedem mouseover von ihr genervt werde, ist es nicht empfehlenswert.
