I really vibe with the coffee hole guy. I also enjoy coffee. Anyway the game runs rather smooth, has a fun artistic style, the particle effects are gorgeous and the little notes, entries and tidbits you get are cute. I'm sure with my new GPU it will run even better, but I've been unable to convince anyone else to play with me as of recently. It's nice that Janet is chill.

я почти не пугался мне нравится.

Do you like crafting/survival but not a fan of the "aimless" feeling between major objectives? Do you wish there were settings other than "deserted island" or "zombie apocalypse"? Well, look no further than Abiotic Factor. Effectively, a survival-crafting game set in a "fair use" copy of Black Mesa facility set in the 1990s; Abiotic Factor does a fantastic job of making sure the player always has some goal to work towards without feeling heavy-handed or "objective corridor-like". While the facility itself is not procedurally generated, there is more than enough shortcuts and foldbacks within the entire map, reminiscent of Dark Souls shortcuts, to make the map feel fresh and new every time you advance. Additionally, the devs are consistently adding more content to the game even post-launch of their 1.0 version. The game features a pretty nice EXP system that allows players to focus on their favorite traits, "Skyrim style" to build out their character's strengths through regular play complete with perk bonuses at different thresholds. Additionally, the crafting system is pretty robust with very few "dead-end" items meaning that every crafting recipe moves towards a new recipe as you advance through the game. The base-building aspect is also really great. There are a plethora of different machines that you can use you automate defenses at your base with the additional benefit that you can really create your base just about anywhere! Even in rather hostile locations in the endgame, there are reasonable connections to facilitate creating a base of your own. The lore is great, especially for fans of cryptids, extra-terrestrials, extra-dimensional beings and SCP-style creatures. While much less serious in tone than the aforementioned Black Mesa, it still retains enough "creep factor" while still presenting much of the game in a humorous way that I often found myself feeling like I was in a survival horror game at times even while something funny was happening nearby. The only real downside is that you will want to play this with friends. It is completely doable solo but the balancing of the later game can be pretty brutal at times so that may be something to consider, but you can add new players to your world at any time and the online community is very large and welcoming so if you're open to that kind of thing, you can easily resolve that concern. BUT, if running solo, be prepared for a challenge your first time. Additionally, the existing DLCs are optional and just give you new areas to build your base in as well as some cosmetics and optional objectives. There is a story-DLC coming soon, but I think the dev team does a great job of giving you your money's worth. That said, I highly, highly recommend this game. I'm still on my first playthrough (nearing the end game) and I already have 176 hours in it. I don't even feel the late game exhaustion of most other games either as there's always something new going on, be it a weapon to craft, an objective to handle or just another creepy enemy following me around. If you're on the fence, just buy it. 5/5 without a doubt.

Oughhhh im abioticing
