Long awaited STALKER that was worth its wait.

This game has two problems - optimization and cheaters. My game freezes a lot, high CPU usage and I have the lowest possible setting. Bad hardware you say - no optimization whatsoever. I tried multiple fixes and nothing works, so the problem is not my end.
Cheaters. On every match there will be a outright cheater or really suspicious player.

Boring and punishing game.
I played only coop with 3 friends. I was completely new, one friend had little experience and on singleplayer got to iron armor level. Around 190 days we got to mountains with 1 silver armor and at that time I told my friends, that I will no longer be returning to the server. One of my friends was building everything, other was explorer and fighter. I was also a fighter style and helped mine ores and get wood, as I was the the only woodcutter.
For me, the game was just too punishing. After getting max iron level armor and max level two-handed axe I felt powerfull. Before I got to the mountains. Immediately, I got killed, unable to parry anything. Then I understood, that I wasted iron on axe, that can not parry anything in mountains. After I got a iron buckler, it helped the situation, but there was another problem with biomes.
Swamp and mountain are very annoying and unsatisfying. In swamp you get a lot of water, that slow you down or even unequip your weapon and on mountain you need to jump like a maniac and you are dead if you encounter anyone, because you do not have stamina. After I decided to explore on boat.
Exploring on boat is awful. You get a see serpent? Good luck fighting it with out arrows. If you kill it, then its loot is dropped on the bottom of the ocean. Boat gets stuck on every little piece of land and other stuff. Unfortunately, you can not remove all pieces of land underwater, because you start swimming.
This stuff is literally on top of my head, if I sat here and wrote for a longer time, I would live a better and precise review.

I hate VOID and what they made to main game Ready or Not, but I did like the DLC.
3 maps are really great and I liked them. Each of them is special in its own way and I would not tell, that any of them is similar to one found in campaign. Again maps are great.
3 new weapons. I liked the Raider, although SMG are not really viable except low armour tier enemies. The new assault rifle is mid. A bit high kick for me, but good caliber gameplay-wise, although there are better alternatives. Pistel is just another 9mm, nothing special, just a skin, I would say.
I also liked the new clothing. There is a lot of camo to choose from and most people will find something, that suits them, so nice addition to the wardrobe. Is it worth 10 bucks? Yes.

Something I will add to negatives review of others.
Maps can be played in SP, but not in campaign()commander mode).
Balaclavas are not part of this DLC.

The game is decent. Story is good, but nothing extraordinary. I see the potential in the game, but a lot of things need to be improved, if any sequel will be released. I completed the story in 10 hours on 100% and I have only challenges left.
Firstly, I expected something similar to Divinity, but it is not similar in the slightest.
The "fake" open world makes you walk around the whole map and you have some "food", that heal you. While interesting idea, completely bad implementation. You have some unique encounters, but they do not affect story in any way. There was only one really interesting side quest, but there are not many of them anyway.
The combat is quite broken. No free cam, allies can push each other from the cliff, most abilities damage allies, so you can not use them, hard difficulty is broken. I played the game on hard, except the very ending(near volcano), because there no matter what I did, I could not do it on hard.

It is free, fun and silly game. I played it with 2 friends and after some point it gets overwhelming. I do advice to play with friends and 4-5 would bee fun and engaging. I also advice supporting developers on Patreon.

This game rewards you for your skill, although skill requirement is quite high. If you like metal, shooting and can feel the rhythm, you will like it.
You dance in this game and your dance is death.

Oh, well. This feedback will be a long one and I hope, that it will reach at least someone from the Void or shall it be lost in the void. I will try to give my feedback somewhat a structure.
I'll start my feedback with the most talked about and important topic - AI. No matter how many times the developers are told, they either ignore, don't understand, or don't care. The AI in this game is just awful and I don't understand why they won't fix it. Enemies and allies in this game play the role of accurate but very dumb dummies. They use cheats to function somehow and imitate intelligence, they are given interesting features - like hiding behind cover, using narrow techniques and so on. This all helps to imitate their intelligence, but the AI is incredibly dumb and helpless, which is too bad, because for a game like this, an intelligent AI is very important, but the developers apparently put a minimum of resources, effort, finances and creativity into the AI. Even the mods have done a faster and better job of fixing and tweaking the AI, which are free labor. AI - 0/10
Optimization. Apparently, the developers tested (just kidding, they didn't test anything and this game has no QA) on NASA computers at minimum settings, otherwise all satellites would have fallen down already. I can have 120 FPS one moment and 10 FPS the next. I don't understand where this instability is coming from, considering that changing graphics settings changes almost nothing. There's also a sharp sag when the enemy starts shooting. Especially often when you just loaded the map for the first time. This is incredibly annoying, as you need to react quickly to the situation, and you can't - your FPS drops to 0 for a second, which is very important for a game where the reaction is in milliseconds.
Inoperable Achievements in multiplayer. If you play in multiplayer, you simply can't unlock any of the Achievements. Fortunately, in-game progression allows you to unlock accessories and such in multiplayer, but if you're an Achievement Hunter, you're stuck with dumb AI teammates.
You can still find "No data" on some skins and the rest of the cosmetics. Really? Also the "non-lethal" shotgun has the wrong icon during the game, but nobody cares.
Before the release, it was possible to use a shield and tazer. After the release, the taser was moved to the equipment and there is no "non-lethal" replacement for the secondary weapon in the game, and it is impossible not to take the pistol, so you are stuck with empty pistol.
Deleting saves. There is (or was) a bug in the game because of which deleted all saves and lost all progress. It could happen when exiting the game, but most often when Alt+F4 or game crash. The developers did not react to this and it was not mentioned in any Hotfix. The only thing that can save from this situation is manual backups.
Lack of a normal bug tracker and feedback on bugs and the status of the game. The only way is the Discord server, which has strict rules on how to make a bug report post that nobody cares about, both players and moderation. I've made tons of reports and never once got any feedback. My bugs were not fixed, were not put in the #❗️known-issues channel or somehow noted by the developers. It's understandable - there is horror in the discord channel and the moderation does nothing about it.
Well, that's the sweetest part. Hotfixes. Hotfixes where they fix... something wrong. And then I have to sit and wait for Steam to verify all 60 gigabytes of the game. Of the 4 Hotfixes that were, only two 1 and 3 were really useful. 50%, not a bad result, but the game came out in December, and already March and a bunch of important things have not been fixed. A bunch of little things haven't been fixed. Apparently the developers are still on vacation, spending the money they made from sales and aren't going to get back to work. The state of the game is Beta at best. I haven't mentioned a few things, but given the speed of development, the game should still take at least a year to finish, unless of course the developers come out of their bender now and start working on the game, which of course won't happen.

Edit 1: New update 1.1 just dropped. Game now runs on 30 FPS. VOID is incompetent.
Edit 2: I just tried to play on 20/09/2024 and a day before with my friends. As I am the only one, who has the DLC, I was hosting. The VOID are consistent at one thing - my game just froze after around 7 minutes mark and nothing helped. They are constantly bad.

Made me cry. If you want to cry, then you should play.

Fun games with friends and other random dwarfes. For 30 euros(or 10 euros on discount) you will get a lot of content for at least 500+ hours to unlock. I still haven't opened everything. Free updates and constant hotfixes. Really worth it.
