One of the best games I've ever played.

I bought this during winter sale, without any expectations. Installed, started and played for about half an hour. Loved the art style and startup. Ran into an (almost) game breaking bug. Applied for a refund. Heart said to try it out again. Tried with KB/M and it worked flawlessly. Took the chance and cancelled the refund request. That my friends, was the best decision I made.

This game has changed me. With engaging story (Looking at you, Skyrim), Interesting characters and beautiful world, I was hooked. The soundtrack is really good and the world feels alive (kind of).

Not a good writer so I'll keep this short.

Pros:
+ Really good Story
+ Interesting and annoyingly good characters
+ Many Boss and Mini-Boss fights
+ Unique art style
+ Good controls for both KB/M and Controller
+ Will teach you about life (really)
+ Crafting
+ Multiple classes, which you can change anytime via skill reset OR merge two of them (recommended)
+ Funny dialogues
+ Really Easy even on Hard (Depends on you)
+ Different type of environments
+ Huge Open World
+ So many side quests (Many are too good)
+ Choice based dialogue system (doesn't affect ending though)
+ Really Good DLCs

Cons:
- Slightly un-optimized
- Does have some game breaking bugs (I never encountered one)
- Easy (Again depends on you)

Overall, I whole heartily recommend this game. Buy the complete collection with DLC and you won't regret this. I'm sad that we won't see a sequel, but with the size of the world, we may not need it.

I rank this game in my top 3 games, with Half Life 2 and STALKER.
Finally, I have to say this. Better then Skyrim in many aspects. 10/10.

What can I say? I started playing this game expecting something and got a masterpiece!

It's a walking simulator, with tons of things to photograph, read and most importantly, Batteries to find and Minitrains to ride!
You are Mark, a structural analyst, tasked to analyze the old buildings in the city of Stalburg, plagued with incompetence, corruption, and secrets.

While on first hand, it may seem like a normal walking simulator, and the game does not hide that fact, it soon becomes apparent that everything is slowing decaying and crumbling around you. The game is played First Person walking sim with puzzles solving, photographing the damages and read documents in Water plants, Sewers, Factories, Dams, and a frigging Nuclear Reactor and more! You can actually feel the scale of the structures as they are gigantic (as they should be).

The story is quite intriguing. The corruption one way, but there is a parallel story involving something sinister. Can't spoil that!

Also, I'd like to note that this is the best horror game without (apparent) horror elements. You must go out of your way to find them, and they are optional. But I think they should be explored for the experience. Read all Notes and Diaries!

I rarely provide games with a perfect score, and this game comes close. The only downside is backtracking. Lots of it, especially if you did something wrong or forgot to add! It's not too bad but sometimes, it was quite tedious. Fortunately, the environment & Atmosphere is top notch.

This is a must play. 9.5/10

DO NOT READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE PLAYING YOURSELF!
