Nfs went to poop a long time ago... but i still try in hope of asn improvement, and everytime i try, i'm still handed a steaming pile of turds...

Horrible controls and no feel nor feedback from controller ( almost cartoon like handling), horrible controller layout and non bindable controller keys... puke inducing voice acting... i dont feel i need to waste longer than it took me to realise how bad it is- on this review... just avoid it.

Hopefully a nfs Underground remake could save the franchise... aslong as it resembles nothing these past games

I played during beta ages ago, i have the same complaint as i did then- the game makes my eyes feel strained within half an hour, and the after affects continue for much longer than that.

Depth of field, or over the top beefed up affect to make up for the graphics style or something, only ever happens on games like these with the same graphics style as this, its horrible. I mentioned this during beta, and nothing has changed, i have played about with all of the options to no luck. Its like being a kid years ago on old crt tv's sat wayyy too close, yet im not in this instance, and it only happens with this game and a small handful of others that i cant remember the names of.

For that, i cant say anything of the gameplay, as the strained eyes feeling hits almost straight away. I've tried all solutions mentioned in discussions and google, and its still having the same affect, almost like i'm wearing strong lense glasses borrowed from someone else (i dont need glasses)

Any solutions not within discussions/google appreciated as i want to play the game, but for now i'm refunding.

I've been playing this since the original came out, hundreds of hours put in.

Not alot needed in this review, as you're either into the genre or you're not, and if you are, you wont be disappointed.

Decent game but needs alot of rebalancing, More graphics options and the blueprint unlockables would be better off in order so you arent wasting time (and hunger/food/health) trying to figure out which blueprint youre aiming for...

The above seems like a massive oversight on the Developers part.

No bugs, crashes etc, very solid game for the price, keep up the good work!

This game needs ALOT of work- even after a year all this time, so many simple issues remain, anbd alot of oversights have been made by the developers. Mods help alot, check out the Nexus mod page, and run the game in windowed borderless.

From not being able to pick certain items up, or random items dropped as loot by enemy npcs... every now and again you cant pick something up and that annoys the ♥♥♥♥♥ out of me.

Random bugs and glitches occur nearly everytime i play, random fps drops and general lag within the game regularly occur, and alot of the main graphical issues occur when doing a mission, like the games engine cant keep up.... and dont get me started on the storage space you have to keep things... If you like collecting things, of which there is plenty to collect- you end up tediously taking things out, to view the stats, to put it back in, as the damage and armour is 0 when trying to view details of items, and only newly added items will display details, and then will go to 0 when you turn the game off... annoying.

I have more than enough of a pc for playing this, and i feel like i need to do a massive upgrade to counter the issues.


Theres alot to like about this game however, a Rich storyline, likeable npc characters, and the general designs of clothing, cars and buildings , atmosphere is great, but the shame is that the development and bugfixes, even after all this time, have not been addressed, which brings a good game down to " overhyped failure" territory... most friendships are montaged and overall feel very shallow, "6months later, and we're apparently the best of friends..." seems a bit short a time when the story makes out you're like blood... nvm.

I bought Cyberpunk on half price sale... and it just kinda feels like it falls short of that price... but this doesnt mean i will give up on it, its just annoying, and a bit of a letdown. Overhype seems to be a common occurance these days, especially when some of the most obvious flaws or issues should have definately been picked up by developers... considering youre swarmed with them no sooner you start the game...

I'll adapt my review when things change, but i wouldnt ever buy this game at full price, not atall a chance. It'd likely be worth full price only when or if they fix all of the very very obvious issues.

Not amazing, but not bad either.

No bugs met so far, everything pretty straight forward,

Good for the price when on sale

There is sometthing here, but i fell that, if you're going to make a game like this, you'd iimagine you'd have a thoughoughbred idea of how to ggo about it all.

It'd seem however tthat alot of general workings of a factory/ management game, havve been left out- the same way as when we were any rollercoaster tycoon games, and the tropico games, that they got forgotten about from the core- tthe originals being better tthan those that came afterward.... this game feels like the game came aftter.

Key features missing- from a decent explanattion/tutotial of decent calibre, confusing/misleading component icons or descriptions, the tooltip being only a water drop in the items features, to simple things like being able to turn a factory part off when over producing, alongside removing factory parts that are needed to be built only to be able to see which other components are/wiill be needed in the future as to be able to accurately layout your factory whilst youre building-- only to have to delete it and the return price only come to 60% without the option to be able to tturn off/ sttore tthat factory part til you need it...

The ovverheads of the profit margins wiill leave you scratching yourt head as lacking detail/ poor maths in the background which are irrelivant/ could be seperate so it'll feel like youre always adjusting to the profit margin but in the background the issues for constanlty fluctuating margins are dependantt on problems muchh much deeper, with no guidance...



Overall its an ok game, but it just feels so basic vs tthe extreme amount of time it takes to work out all the matths only to be faced with other problems and limitations starting from lacking info OR the buggery due to the poorr planning in the background by developers. So many simple key features that theyve overlooked/ forgotten/ ignored... almost feels like only the bone headed will push to try to work it all out, rather than casting the game aside and just playing Factorio- of which this game feels like a refaced copy of, or somewhat of a rip off of/ wherever they started making the game from- wasnt for this game.

Multiplayer or single player with bots, as in the same game mode but without people. Nice graphics, kinda warzoneish without all the helicopters, just a straight up “get to the centre point of the safe zone and stay alive” sorta game.

Better than most of its kind, could do with a few more weapons but overall a solid game, with seasonal progression like fortnights and cod etc, with chance to earn the season pass by generally playing, completing weekly challenges thatre pretty straight forward.

I would buy the game for the bot matches, not many out there like this in this way, call it £10-£15 and I’d buy it.

After all these years, nothing beats Zoo tycoon original for me, but this is very close.

Hats on dinos for exibit appeal is a bit stupid, and staff controls are bad. Would be better if you could make zones for workers, but you cant.

Buy on sale, £20 seems a bit much at full price, i bought for about £10 and i feel thats about right.

Has potential, great idea, however needs optimisation.

Fps gets smashed when picking up a pan of mined ores if its been let to fill for a while, and its not your pc that will be the issue, its thew games engine itself or the developer side coding.

That said, the developer seems keen, and is listening to critisism and getting rid or issues quickly.

The developer clearly isnt an engineer, but his dev blog updates on youtube have him seeming energetic and positive, and motivated to make the game better.

Its either this, or Gold rush... so no doubt it'll earn money in the future.

Possibly wortth a little more than asking price after you get past the beginning of the game.
Needs optimisation and a bit more time taken on updates and content, but after the hours ive put into it, i can say ive more than got my moneys worth.
