I cannot in good faith recommend this game. As of today, it still has cheaters, and a ton of bugs. Cheaters in a game as punishing as this, where there is no safety net and if you get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over you can lose hours of work, are unacceptable. the developers are slow, and have no way to restore items lost to cheaters, or even the brokenness of their own game.

How do I know this? let me tell you a story. I went on a generational run last saturday. Nobody else on the server at all, just me and my duo. Spend five hours looting almost the entire map. We're almost done, only three locations left on the whole map to clear. We've got three stuffed full crates of crafting resources and cash, working on a fourth, three rare high tier radio crates that broadcast your location in a radio beacon. 15 bulky crafting items in cargo slots, two hand-extract only high tier research items...we're approaching our third-to-last location. both of us disconnect simultaneously in a way that indicates a server crash. No bad connection icon, nothing. Just playing, and then the trampler starts going to space, it hangs for about 30 seconds and we both get kicked. try to reconnect? cannot establish connection, server and all five hours of work gone. Nothing to show for it except the refund of what we brought and not losing the trampler...but we keep none of the loot.

this is the fourth time in one week we have had this crash. I cannot recommend this game in good faith because it will take your hard earned time and items through no fault of your own, with nothing you can do about it. If I lost all that to PVP, you know, yeah, i would be unhappy, but it would be my fault for losing the fight. But to servers crashing? that's the developers fault. Now, you might be saying "oh, Well contact support and see if they can help!" I did, after waiting several days for their slow responses, they tell me there's nothing they can do as they dont have a way to manually restore items, and then have the gall to redirect me to the connection troubleshooting page like their garbage servers are my fault.

Don't buy this. It's an excellent game with great bones, but there are just too many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ catches, that the developers arent nearly fast enough to fix. the player count is tanking for good reason.

Overall, this game was an extremely positive experience

I played with my friends on a self hosted server shortly after the release of 1.0 and ended the playthrough the day before yesterday after probably 160 hours.

Very enjoyable, solid enough gunplay and character combat. Enjoyable pal designs and interactions, deep enough pal combat and stats to make optimization enjoyable and decent base building. It's an excellent mix of adventure and automation games. Some pals are certainly a little too heavily inspired by Pokemon but for each there's two or three unique and interesting designs

My only complains is that the end game is just a little bit too grindy, mostly in the world tree holy water which there is no way to passively get at all, not even in small amounts.

Overall, 8/10 would play again

this game is really really fun, however the multiplayer is consistently ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broken beyond playability, so dont buy it for multiplayer.

I do recommend this game, it feels like helldivers 2 used to before....well, everything. Let's hope it doesnt go down the same road.

If it's not fun, What's the point. Just remember that Evil Raptor.

The Sun rises on a grateful universe.

very enjoyable game, feels smaller than the first but maybe I'm just misremembering old memories. In any case, a worthy successor to the legacy of slime rancher 1.

I'm having seizures but it's worth it.

A few thoughts.

Old dying light dressings, character, and feels with the bones and mechanics of dying light 2, and the driving of the following...a very enjoyable mix of old and new.

Needs more yellow paint

on a more serious note, this game should be cheaper. I really enjoyed it, but it's very short, maybe as long as the following. I recognize it's been almost 10 years, so 20 or 30 would be too low, but 40 or 50 would make more sense.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! You killed spike, you bastards!

This is a fun game, it honestly surpasses it's predecessor with greatly expanded parkour systems that feel smooth and enjoyable, as well as better more fluid combat. In this respect I greatly enjoy the game and recommend it.

The story is about as much of a 6/10 of the story of the first one. Maybe a little deeper but neither of them are exceptionally deep. The survivors are complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with the exception of the crew of them in the central loop. But, the peacekeepers in the central loop are absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which is a total inversion. If you pick the nice faction early on, prepare to deal with ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the last, and vice versa.

Also this game is buggy as ♥♥♥♥. You will probably need to rebind most of your controls, locations constantly undiscover themselves from your map.

If you fill up a given category of your inventory or a specific item (like say lockpicks which have a cap of 100), any you craft above your limit will be straight up deleted instead of deposited to your stash. This should be kept in mind at all times.
You do not get guns except through bounty system.

7.5/10

Take my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ money auroch. If you go through the work to convert the actual original boltgun campaign and forges of corruption to the words of vengeance style gameplay with it's own 20$ DLC fee I will literally pay you for it again. This is the most fun I've had playing a game in ages.

Only complaint is the unreliable pickup of health and contempt items.

Fatshark....I genuinely enjoyed your game for a while and still do, but you need to realign your headspace as it relates to darktide.

you are not arrowhead game studios, or ghost ship games. Darktide is not Deep rock galactic, or helldivers 2 with their endless thousands of hours of replayability. You have maybe eight levels, twenty enemies, with the only change being difficulty. No procedural generation, no big cinematic moments or interesting exploration. Darktide is a glorified looter shooter, without the dopamine hit of finding weapons in the wild, only resources to purchase and upgrade them in drab shops.

But of course you had to throw out one more fishhook, a cool looking new class with interesting abilities you just had to staple a standalone price tag to. You were already going to make who knows how much by luring in new players to your game with the class, and from selling cosmetics for the arbite to new and old players alike. But you just had to charge to play the class at all, despite the fact you only fleetingly add real new content to this game.


I don't think I'll be buying it, Not unless it does something spectacular that proves really worth the money, because I could get whole other games for what you're charging for the arbite. And to those reading it, you should stay away from this game. It looks bright, and shiny, and cool. But there's not really that much replay value here, and the developers are not good to the community or the game.

for those jester awarding: your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

Thanks to the rational people in the comments for using your brains when many others clearly cannot
