The Forever Winter

Game feels very repetitive after a short while, no diversity in gameplay, at times it feels to easy and others to hard, and a whole company of infantry will fire at you and hunt you down even if your a single scavenger. Would be way better as a open world game imo

The Forever Winter is a game with so much potential. The idea, the graphics, the world building, the designs, and the framework for an amazing game is all here.The problem is well, just about everything else. For a game that promises a realistic feel with a "focus on avoiding fights" it also promises the premise in which you are "the little guy" none of which is true. Most things die in couple of shots, which wouldn't be an issue if the AI didn't suck. Stealth is stupidly easy, I can literally walk infront of someone and they don't notice, but most enemy's are placed at such a point where it is impossible to avoid a fight. Your supposed to be "the little guy" but your stronger than everything else without even trying. Anything that you can't kill in a couple is huge and you can out maneuver it with ease. My next issue is the polishing. So many guns clip through the player model, some textures look poor compared to others, the gunplay doesn't feel good, and enemys are placed in random spots. But wait, there's more. The game is riddeled with countless bugs. If you getting hit by a melee attack you get spun around and can't look behind you to shoot, floating objects are everywhere, and the game crashes even on low graphic's settings (I can run The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War, and Red Dead Redemption 2 on max graphics with no issue.) The quest's are, lackluster, and the whole game feels unfinished. I get it's in early access but for being out for this long it should be better. Last, and worst is skin DLC. What the ♥♥♥♥. I bought a 40 dollar game, and I have to pay for skins? There is almost no way to get any cool looking skins without spending money. For a game as unfinished as this the audacity to expect people to pay for skins is stupid. They locked looking cool behind a paywall. This isn't to say the game sucks, but it need serious work. Real passion went into this. this game is oozing with potential, but in it's current state I just can't recommend this to anyone.
