Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

They were going in the right direction with the game i feel but fell very short. i like the feel of the game and think it had a lot of potential but playing on hard puts you in near impossible battles which even if you win the resource drain is completely unsustainable. Loved the idea but 10/10 would NOT recommend. Spend your money with a game that is not trying to waste your time and money. If they make a second one and get rid of the absurd flaws of this one it could be a phenomenal game

If you're a fan of the original Fallout, then you will love this game. I've actually played through it twice, and I can count on one hand the amount of games I've done that with.

Играл в версию от EGS, когда ее еще бесплатно без длс раздавали. В стим версии ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Адекватные проценты стали процентами из корейской ммо. 10 раз подряд промазал на 75%.

This game is a hidden gem. If you like games like X-COM, you will love this, too.

Nie jestem fanem gier turowych, ale tutaj dałem grze szansę i forma rozgrywki bardzo mocno mnie wciągnęła. Grałem na łatwym poziomie, bo jak wcześniej napisałem, nie jestem zaznajomiony z mechanikami tego typu gier ale grało mi się nadzwyczaj bardzo dobrze. Płynna rozgrywka, zrozumiała i czytelna co najważniejsze. Podobała mi się eksploracja mapy w poszukiwaniu zasobów do rozwoju ekwipunku, podnoszenie umiejętności bohaterów i same mapy mają również bardzo unikalne wykonanie i powodują, że chce się zaglądać w każdy kąt. Nadrabiam olbrzymią kupkę wstydu i tutaj mam wrażenie, że znalazłem diament. Aż musiałem zakupić wersję pudełkową na konsolę do kolekcji. Tytuł do którego może jeszcze wrócę, gdy uda się dorwać DLC w dobrej cenie. Polecam.

It is a fun game, but it is limited in actions and very short. I would only recommend this game if it were under $20. graphics are nice and a fun story line, however, it just abruptly stops at points. I beat the game in 14.6 hours with probably a quarter of those being afk.

The Ancients were responsible for melting the ice caps, spreading a plague across cities, and ultimately destroying each other in a cataclysmic war. Decades into the aftermath, the last remnants of civilization live in a megastructure called The Ark. Earth's surface is completely uninhabitable. Prolonged exposure to the environment causes mental deterioration, turning those infected into Ghouls. The Ark's final hope lies in a new breed of mutant humans discovered in the woods who are capable of withstanding "the rot." Known as Stalkers, they are sent on a mission to track down a rogue agent fixated on discovering the mythical "Eden." The main narrative follows Dux and Bormin on their journey to recover Hammon. Hammon is a vital figure to The Ark due to his mutant ability to communicate with machines. Because his powers largely sustain the station's life support systems, The Elder—the leader of The Ark—sends Dux and Bormin into the wasteland to bring him back alive. The setting feels very similar to the Wasteland franchise, sharing a similar sense of humor that permeates both the dialogue and the locations. I enjoyed the endearing voice acting, with the cast nailing Dux as a cynical loner and Bormin as a loyal warrior dedicated to The Elder's cause. Because the party can have up to three active characters at a time, it was interesting to hear how different companions reacted to the events around them. Mutant Year Zero leans into t society so thoroughly dissolved that its characters often mistake everyday objects, like toasters, as lost relics of The Ancients. While these interactions are just a bit goofy, I found they played an important role in humanizing the characters. As the story reaches major milestones, the game features a few cutscenes narrated by Bormin in the past tense, as if he is reading a passage from his own chronicle. I really enjoyed the delivery of these lines. Even though the narrative twist was somewhat predictable, the pleasant cutscene format made the delivery highly satisfying. The gameplay of Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is something of a mix between XCOM and an isometric stealth game. Each location the Stalkers visit is essentially a large tactical map, which has enemies roaming about. When not in combat, enemies have a visual radius around themselves which can detect a Stalker if they get too close. Similarly, the Stalkers are hidden from enemies until they enter their fields of view, or attract their attention through a loud noise (like firing a rifle). These mechanics create a tense exploration phase whenever the Stalkers are not actively fighting. In many cases, combat is optional, as they can simply sneak to the exit of most maps. However, enemies often guard chests containing new weapons or armor, and defeating them awards valuable XP, providing a strong incentive to fight. The stealth system introduces a rewarding planning component. Stalkers can sneak around the map to analyze the best way to initiate an ambush. If an enemy is isolated from their allies and killed silently, it prevents the rest of the map from being alerted. By methodically hunting down stragglers, you can dwindle the enemy's numbers before open combat inevitably breaks out. Each Stalker features two weapon slots, a few grenade slots, and apparel slots for armor and headgear. While body armor typically provides flat damage reduction, hats grant unique boons, such as an enhanced critical hit chance from high vantage points. Upgrading weapons is critically important; it increases raw damage output and allows the application of status-inflicting modules that can set enemies on fire or incapacitate them. Additionally, each Stalker unlocks distinct mutant abilities via personal skill trees, granting tactical options like hypnotizing enemies or growing wings to fly to high ground. The stealth and combat come together rather addictively in Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. While the game's production value limited its cinematic narrative scope, the writers successfully delivered an enjoyable cast of characters to follow through the wasteland. Overall, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a game I highly recommend, particularly to fans of XCOM or tactical stealth games. Or... at least that's what The Elder says.
