Abiotic Factor

Boogers somersaulting at me and I didn't consent to this treachery.

Can't recommend this game enough. I personally feel the survival builder genre is over represented and was still very pleased with my experience all the way through, with some minor complaints. The act of exploration in this game feels very rewarding and is the highlight in my experience. The gameplay itself is serviceable, if not lacking at times. It can feel frustrating how far behind you may feel as a player in the later stages of the game, while also appearing to hit the end of the road in terms of advancement. It doesn't help the combat itself very bare bones, and most of the player driven decisions comes in the form of your equipment and what field you decided to specialize in. Another small complaint would be the state of a map; it exists, but is 1 point away from being useless. Overall I'd highly recommend this game as the above does not trump the sense of accomplishment I felt progressing through each of the areas, learning just a little bit more about the world around me. Both in the context of the literal lands I was exploring, but the lore of the areas, the people, and the acts that lead up to the state of the facility you are in. No comments on the survival build aspects since I really only do what I need to so that I can survive.
