Beat it on the Xbox a year ago, still just as fantastic as before.
best game ever
Graphics are good, but that's probably only good thing about this game. World feels empty, just good-looking UE5 forests. A-Life 2.0 was promised at release, but there isn't even 1.0 in this game. I am quite surprised how they managed to create one of the worst AIs I've seen in AA-AAA games, when they're the ones who created ALife system on older Stalker titles. NPCs are bullet sponge and it doesn't feel rewarding to deal with them, if it's not "must do" in a mission. You're just spending your "precious" bullets. Which is also ironic because game is really generous with resources. Developers doesn't know how to use UE5, which leads to no optimization at all. The game is very demanding, and I can't see they're fixing it. Better to play Anomaly, which is a fan-made mod than this cash-grab game.

Короче, Скиф, в благородство играть не буду: выполнишь для меня пару заданий — и расскажу про Х3. Хрен его знает, на кой ляд тебе эта Х3 сдалась, но я в чужие дела не лезу, хочешь найти, значит есть за чем..

leider immer noch unspielbar, schade. frame drops bzw. cache fehler: gehen die FPS runter ist nicht einmal mehr das menü zu bedienen. und das so lange nach der veröffentlichung. das spiel selber hat atmosphäre, tiefe und spielwelt ist unglaublich dicht. die story passt, wie zu erwarten. aber die bugs erzeugen sehr großen frust.
