Who's opting out of losing everything on death?

[divisions]

Feels already hard enough. However, if it gets too easy i might turn it back on.

I think people are right to feel a little misguided going into the game thinking it's a chill driving game. But I played some extraction roguelike (Quasimorph, Tarkov MP/SP) and I really enjoyed them and I adamantly believe that risking losing everything greatly add spice to the experience so I standby this design. If the game is all about weighing risks and making good choices, never losing anything and just rushing into danger knowing you will never lose anything kinda defeats the point.

I'm staying with the default settings... 9 hours in never came close to dying or losing a part, had a few quirks, cracked a few windows but over all its been a chill game with the default settings... its far from a hard game, the main way to die is by clicking on a bad exit point or just not paying attention to radiation damage. Plus by this point if i were to die and "lose everything" it wouldn't bother me tbh, I have a mountain of materials and i only want for some of the specialty materials (which is an ever growing list but my point will still stand) which generally I can grab "smash and grab" style while driving to where i need to go.

Basically this game is easier than pretty much any roguelite game (its honestly easier than most games in general tbh) I've ever played but thats not a bad thing, i like the small amount of danger of penalty that comes along dying but I am not sure how many times i will experience it. The game allows for you to make alot of mistakes and the more you upgrade the more mistakes you can make. Basically the most you'll ever struggle in this game is on the first few runs, by the time you're on steel doors the struggle will basically stop outside of a few explosive moments that come about either through story or randomness.

But yeah for me this really did turn out to be a nice chill driving game on default settings... I mostly just jam to the music while jumping out for some quick looting here and there

Same as the guy above me, I'm 10 hours in and never died, the atmosphere and sound design is creepy and driving to the exit while the wall is closing in can be a thrill, but I don't find the game particularly hard.

No way would i play this game without the risk of loss on death, that would be insanely boring, without it the entire game would lose all its tension.

I do think they should make your first death a freebie though, only because my first and only death i lost an hour of carefully looting an entire map because i misunderstood the escape conditions.

you can get a lot of it back if you make it back to your wreck (red tombstone icon)

[Andy H.K.]

Died in my 2nd trip (botched escape attempt by falling off a train bridge) and found out that it wasn't that bad of a setback. Firstly the friendly garbage box throw up so many car parts I couldn't even use them all, secondly the klim I got from the botched run stayed with me so I could upgrade to off-road tyre. So I just refit my car with new tyres and do a corpse run to get back what I lost. Reminds me of my diablo days really.

Died once at the beginning because I forgot how the gateways worked. Other than that you just have to have eyes and drive moderately cautiously around anomalies. The biggest danger is not your car crashing, it's the game crashing and wasting your time out scavenging

[M6Hurricane]

What I've been doing is "Turn Off Instability Storms" and sometimes "Turn Off Radiation Damage"

I want time to explored and get all the energy, and sometimes the game gets a little unreasonable so I make it so I can get to the exit. Like if the car gets stuck, etc

[Dice]

No, I have a setting that spawns a "Gravestone" of your car that has the items you lost. You have to go back and get them. I like that. It is not all gone, but you have to make an effort to get them back.

[Thorstorm]

Lose some items is the sweet spot to me.
And like Dice said, the remnant feature is kind of cool.

[DieNackteAmeise]

This game has plenty of setting to make it easier, we need settings to make it harder.

Has anyone else encountered the bug that rapidly and constantly causes you to switch items? That has ended 4 runs for me so far. That's the secret lottery difficulty setting.

I get this bug once in a while when getting out of the car, playing with a controller. It has never been game ending, but I had to figure out to hit the weapon swap on D-Pad, and only Left worked. This has happened probably 10 times in 20+ hours of playing, and I think its always been D-pad left that fixed it while all other controls besides movement were borked.

Misguided? Chill driving game? Did you see the game trailer? Did you read the game description?
