They really shouldnt have bothered making this EA.
I get the idea that you want a hardcore "no hand holding" game, but atleast explain key mechanics to even be able to play the game maybe? i am constantly being attacked by hunter killers within the first 2 minutes of a game and i dont understand what i am doing wrong

Don't loot certain items, like "Weapon Tech". A few items trigger hunter killers.

Would be nice if the game told me about that.

Overall for game by devs who claim they worked with games before, everything about this game (outside of art) look incredibly amateurish. Animations are bad, characters movements stiff and clunky, hands clipping through a gun. I get it its early access but how much of all of that they will actually fix. And how much they will be even able to fix.

I'm waiting for the patch so I can play multiplayer in a multiplayer game so I can stay under the 2 hours. Otherwise Refund. This is sneaking like in Thief, I know I shouldn't be strong but eavade almost every enemy ? and the graphics aren't like the screenshots either, even on my 4090.

Ah... So that's what it was. I thought maybe the water I was carrying was causing enemies to come after me and see me through walls or something.

Would also be nice if people understood that games don't have to hold your hand for you to figure things out on your own.

Does not apply in current situation, when random loot you can find may or may not trigger it. We playing characters who lived in the world for long enough time by now, they should have some basic knowledge of what is too hot to pick up.

Say it with me

"Early access." as far as early access games go, this game is pretty well fleshed out, albeit it will make your room toasty if you have everything on ultra!

I ended up refunding. I really like the idea, but the amount of bugs I encountered (understandable in EA) on top of the very difficult solo play made for a not fun balance of risk vs reward.

It's not the hardcore that's the problem it's the inconsistency.

Bait patrol 1 in to portal 2, then take down the rest of them or wait for them to leave.
Make a plan, get a good position to engage the enemy.
U need to make use the right equipment and the enemies weak spots.
Learn the maps and enemies.


The game looks exactly like the beta and promotional material.

The game isn't very difficult as soon as u understand how the game and so on works.

I have had zero issue understanding what triggers what with no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ problem. Sounds like a you problem. Again, games don't have to hold your hand. It's nice figuring things out as you go, not knowing when your boots hit the ground

this game is really going to filter out the stupids fairly quickly. love to see it.

There certainly is a balance between dropped in and figure every minute detail out on your own and big glowing tutorial buttons everywhere that hold your hand. I wouldn't think it's unfair to expect the game giving you some kind of information about what might cause things to appear like this.

Been playing coop with a mate just fine. One has to be in the main menu, the other in their innards to join each other. If you get disconnected after a round, you both have to restart the game and repeat the joining process. If you're quick enough to start another round after a failed or successful extraction, you won't disconnected.
