Impact Winter

SHOULD be a really fun game, it has everything it needs to be one. The issue is, the controls are absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Always horrible, jankey and unwieldy, whether you're using a keyboard or a controller. The devs have had more then enough time to at least try to hotfix that mess, but it just hasn't happened.

THE UNIQUES: 💎 Being in a snow storm 24 - 7. PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS: 💼 Survival. 💼 Crafting. 💼 Adventure. PROS: + Save system is pretty handy, since getting stuck is quite common. + Map is detailed enough to know where you're going. + Quests are rewarding. CONS: - Getting stuck is quite common, resulting into restarting the game. - Inventory system, such as cooking / crafting the wrong items. - Non responsive actions, needing to be in the exact position for the action to work. - A LOT of walking around, get's tiresome after a short time. VERDICT: I can't recommend Impact Winter, despite the worst bugs being fixed, there's sill issues with this game that can't be ignored, as I've stated above, getting yourself stuck on a snowy rock happens way too often. A simple restart will put you in the last place you entered, which could've been way back at the church, meaning all the walking you did to get to that destination would've been all for nothing. There's a snow mobile which will help tremendously with the slow walking, but it has to be earnt during a quest, not many people would be able to tolerate the game for that long to even reach that point. If the snow mobile was somewhere closer to the church, the game would've been a lot less tedious for walking. This isn't the only issue, the inventory system sucks ass, it's so easy to craft the wrong item and sometimes the items you find outside are very hard to come by, so out you go again to hunt for that same item that you've been looking for the past hour, if this doesn't frustrate you enough, there's of course the actions, it takes a few attempts to do something, also your positioning needs to be inch perfect. Got to give this game some praise, they have fixed major bugs which would have deemed the game unplayable, always have time for devs who patch their games up when there's bugs like those. The save points are convenient if you enter buildings, that's where the auto-save triggers, not so good if you haven't entered any buildings for awhile. Quests! They are rewarding and the map tells you where you need to be, this would be the highlight to this game. It's nowhere near enough to chance this to a positive review but it's a huge plus, if Impact Winter by some miracle gets brought back to steam with a huge update, I would definitely come back and try out. But as of right now, it's a thumbs down. Total Score = 39/100. GAMEPLAY: Impact Winter is a post-apocalyptic survival adventure set 8 years after "the catastrophe": an asteroid collision that's ravaged Earth's population and buried the planet in a form of an ice age that's lowered the planet’s temperature and buried it under constant snowfall... You are Jacob Solomon: leader of a group of survivors holed-up in a remote church. Your story begins when a mysterious radio transmission is intercepted. In 30 days help is coming... ■■■□□□□□□□ 3 / 10 This one got lost to the storm RECOMMEDED SPECS OS: Windows 7 or better Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 / AMD FX-4350 Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: GeForce GTX 460 / Radeon HD 5850 Storage: 5 GB available space
