Soulmask

False advertising. The second screenshot on the storefront displays an airship, as does the banner. The description of the base game states "two huge maps". Yet this second map, and everything involving airships is locked behind paid DLC. It is incredibly easy to get several hours into the game before you and your friends realise you have to: A. Fork out another chunk of money to access features advertised on the storefront for the BASE GAME B. Start over completely because we chose the wrong map

Here is my impressions after 71 hours. Their is ton of features, and neat automation you can do with your tribe. The storyline is good, and the world although feeling empty sometimes is fine. Combat is fine, although I think the wild life is over tunned and the humaniods are under tunned (opposite of games like Conan exiles, Enshrouded etc). PS I wrote this original review in the time it took me to watch my character sleep in a bed so he could get his "mood" up. Here is the issues you should know before you buy: - Their is Grindy games, then there is this game which is grindy, grindy grind and then some grind some more. Its so slow paced both from a leveling point of view, to a durability on your weapons (i can't go more then 20 minutes without having a weapon break). - The games UI was designed purposely to frustrate you. I have played some games were the UI was a nightmare, but this is utter garabage - and you have the game out with a DLC and its been out 2 years so the person doing the UI has never taken a class subject on the matter. They just chucked everything on random hot keys that don't even make sense. Menu options are so small that to find them is a miracle then you wonder why you were not using that. Updated: So I thought if I stuck it out and afk for 90% of my play time doing crafting combines to get my awareness to 60 that the game would be better. But no, not at all, all that it shows you is the game gets more grindy. They made a punishing durability system that you have to craft 6 mods to each one gear piece only to have to recraft every 1 hour because durability will destory all mods on repair. So the main late game is to RNG hope for a high end tribesmen that can increase durability. This is essentially looking for a needle in a haystack after you wipe out the village 90 times you may come across one. Now that I have seen the game content, all the dungeons are carbon copies of the same dungeon, the entire game feels empty because its the same assets Ruins, Ancient Ruins etc just cut and pasted across the entire map. The mobs that you fight there is really only like 4 different types with different skins but the same moves. This has been one of the worst surival games I have ever played. And I have 1000s of hours in everything from Conan/Dune/Raft, Don't Starve, etc.

NPC pathfinding algorithm makes me want to scream and tear out hairs from my ass. You CAN'T build a base in ANY WAY other than absolutely flat foundation with all workshops placed on the perimeter with 10 meters offset from edges of foundation. No walls. No furniture. Nothing. And even that will not be enough to prevent NPC from finding some wall and stare at it for the rest of their lives in attempt to go from wherever they stand to wherever they need to be. Even if the wall in question is nowhere near their path. And you can't do **** about it. Base building - absolutely worst part of the game. Exploration and combat are fine thou. 4/10

Seeing alot of reviews that are just whining, and sadly enough alot of their points have already been addressed, but their reviews are still there dissuading players from playing. I'm going to be honest, the original game was very janky when I played it, but I grew to love it, and after I put nearly 600 hours into it and put it down I watched the devs over the last couple of years literally fix 75% or more of the things that made it clunky, or hard to enjoy, from gateways allowing gear and followers to making experience faster, or even making ai automation 1000% better and easier to set up. Is it flawless? No. But I would atleast have good faith for devs that have not done anything but release a very cool game, and make it better and better with every patch. Their pricing on the DLC was insanely good, you could get the base game and dlc on release for I think 25 dollars, and that deal was good for nearly 2 months, now the prices are about what you would expect from a normal game and dlc. People who say half of the dlc is missing are very.. incorrect. They could add alot more, but all that is missing atm is maybe 1/6th of the map, and a zone that it will take a long time to progress towards either way. I love the game, I love the new "Make the best tribesman you can" system you have. My only ONLY complaint about the game that matters imo is the scarcity of information on it, they need more tooltips, and better more clear translation in alot of situations as most of the time you will have to alt tab to find answers, alot of the answers will be outdated or wrong, and sometimes there just is no answer because people dont know. Hopefully this just gets better over time, information is good.

作为一个3200+小时的老玩家真的不推荐现在的新手入手游戏，老地图的数值经过一年多的更新调试已经趋于稳定，但是新DLC的简直是一言难尽，各种BUG，数值崩坏，官服的卡顿更是先出伤害再看动作的程度，个别BOSS甚至只能用某些武器的单一技能才有那么比较容易得机会通过，中间的黑铁阶段更是毫无存在感，同级BOSS青铜就可以打，越级的一个的打不过（你甚至不知道这个阶段存在的意义是什么，PVP更是一个最低级的武器可以越三阶甚至是四阶随意吊打别人多天的努力成果）而最重要的是经过跳票后端上来的居然还是个半成品，对没错他是个半成品，地图和BOSS居然没还做完？这是第一次也是最后一次写游戏测评，既然官方不管，那玩家只能说用脚投票，灵魂面甲再也不见。

Купила игру ради выживания в джунглях. В итоге стала HR-директором племени, прорабом, фермером, психологом и человеком, который каждые 15 минут орёт: «КТО ОПЯТЬ СЪЕЛ ВСЮ ЕДУ?!» На старте игра встречает тебя как настоящий survival: ты голый, слабый и готов умереть от взгляда местной курицы. Через пару часов ты уже бегаешь в броне, а ещё через десять понимаешь, что главный босс игры — это не тигр и не варвар, а менеджмент персонала. SoulMask — это когда ты похищаешь вражеского воина, избиваешь его до потери сознания, тащишь домой, заставляешь работать на грядках, а игра при этом говорит, что ты хороший лидер племени. Строительство базы здесь настолько затягивает, что ты приходишь поставить один сундук, а просыпаешься через шесть часов с промышленным комплексом размером с небольшой европейский город. Особое уважение маске. По сюжету она древний мистический артефакт невероятной силы. По факту — устройство, которое позволяет тебе переселяться в тела своих подчинённых, когда лень самому идти добывать ресурсы. Настоящая технология будущего. Боевая система работает по принципу: пока враг один — ты герой. Пока врагов двое — ты ещё герой. Пока врагов трое — начинается фестиваль паники, перекатов и молитв всем известным богам. Графика красивая. Особенно красиво выглядит момент, когда ты любуешься закатом, а из кустов выходит ягуар и отправляет тебя на экран возрождения. Плюсы: Можно построить огромную базу. Можно собрать целое племя. Можно переселяться в других персонажей. Очень затягивает. Минусы: – Хотела выживалку, получил вторую работу. – Постоянно не хватает ресурсов. – Постоянно не хватает работников. – Постоянно не хватает нервов. – «Ещё пять минут поиграю» превращается в четыре часа. Вердикт: 9 похищенных работников из 10. Отличная игра для тех, кто мечтал совместить Conan Exiles, Ark и должность начальника отдела кадров.

Наконец-то пофиксили крыши. Но отзыв все равно отрицательный, т.к. я кое-что обнаружил: Почти все скрины на странице магазина это скрины из платного DLC: пирамиды, летающие лодки и другие уникальные механики. Т.е. без DLC это абсолютно стандартный выживач в лесу за бомжа, разве что стадо бомжей приручить можно. Сама игра-то неплохая, а вот пиарщики подложили свинью разрабам. Скриншоты из DLC должны быть на странице DLC, а не на странице самой игры, тем более, что DLC платное

Ive only played this game a little bit only 1800 hours so I think i can make an honest review at this point. Ive played PVP and PVE and honestly the the pvp isnt perfect but its still fun. the current whip meta is broken and needs a huge nerf but the devs have sorted a good chunk of issues since the start of EA. The PVE gameplay is engaging and theres plenty to do in both game types. Dungeons, Multi tier bosses, Hunting for stats and traits on tribesmen "unusual liking" lol, building bases (on flying ships now) messing with automation, testing out all the masks, clearing camps, taming mounts, base defence against npcs, trophy hunting. theres a lot to go through but its all a good time. Worth your money and worth your time.

An unfinished overly complicated collection of systems masquerading as a game. Also extremely grindy. Pros: + A lot of time and money spent on making a pretty world and it shows. + Peer hosted server with modifiable settings in the game UI! Yay! You can turn off durability for items. Thank God. + Never crashed in 120 hours of play Cons: - Performance isn't great. Chugs in dungeons and in built up areas. - Combat is trash and should be scrapped and re-written. - Advancement is very linear despite being an "open world" game. - Game systems feel like they were made by different teams and glued together. No sense of cohesive game design. - All the cool stuff like flying and airships is in the DLC released on Day 1 of 1.0 but is still unfinished - Grindy AF. I think it's more balanced for 20+ people on a server working together. - Overly complicated. I had to research almost anything I did online despite all the tooltips. - Confusing and contradictory tooltip information, especially on weapons. - Multiplayer flying doesn't work and players fall off airships ALL THE TIME
