About
Scavenge and fight for your next day alive under the shadow of gargantuan war machines. Enemies in the game can literally tower over the battlefield. To put it another way:
The battlefield is unpredictable thanks to The Forever Winter’s Dynamic Encounter system: enemies have their own goals and agendas, operating in coordinated groups, undertaking full-scale battles — and they’ll intelligently react to your actions. The battlefield you leave won’t be the same one you return to.
Use your wits, stealth, and skilled gunplay to make it out alive. Choose your path in the shadow of the two great superpowers, loot the dead, and make it out alive. While the warring factions may ignore you at first, the more disruptive you become to their goals, the more they'll seek to remove you from the equation.
Ecological collapse compounded by runaway technological advancement brought us here: a world choked by 40 years of industrial-scale violence between two military superpowers, unmerciful mass killing by AI automata, human-machine hybrids, and the bleak truth of human nature. There’s two sides to this war, and you’re not on either.

Love the aesthetic and game design. Controls are intuitive and smooth. Bit of a learning curve to figure out the game loop but enjoying the time so far.
Love the atmosphere, lore and story, but god is this game ♥♥♥♥. Gameplay wise
개발자들은 보아라. 너네 게임 존나 못 만든다, 그러나 게임 컨셉은 엄청 쩐다. 애니메이션 좀 빨리 개선 좀 하고, 애니메이션이 보기 좋아야 홍보도 잘 될거다. 총 견착 및 파지 자세 존나 어색하고, 캐릭터나 헬리콥터, 엑소슈트 움직이는거 무슨 마우스 손으로 움직이는거 같다. 그리고 버그도 존나 많은데 빨리 고쳐라. 냉동탄(cryo) 같은거 맵 넘어가면 인벤에 있던 탄알이 증발하고, 무기 변경하면 냉동탄이 적용이 안된다. 플레이하다가 불만 생기면 평가를 계속 수정하겠다. Attention developers. You guys suck at making games, but the game concept is insanely awesome. Please improve the animations soon; the animations need to look good for effective marketing. The weapon mounting and gripping postures are terribly awkward, and the movements of the characters, helicopters, and exosuits look like they're being dragged around by a computer mouse. And there are so many bugs—fix them quickly. For example, when transitioning to a new map, ammo like cryo rounds in the inventory just vanishes. And switching weapons causes the cryo effect to stop applying. If I run into any more issues while playing, I will keep updating my review.
A really cool idea whos mechanics don't play out quite as good as they should be. Performance is an abomination. The game play is swimmy to begin with that's OK but with poor performance it becomes not OK fast. Just not acceptable. If you do decide to play make sure Epic store is blocked. For some reason this game is particularly persistent about installing it. Too bad this didn't work out.
Не покупайте. Разрабы явно делают не то что нужно, покупал игру около года назад, купил чисто ради идеи, на тот момент она была совсем не играбельна, красивая обертка с отвратительным кодом. Смотря на отрицательные отзывы знал на что шел покупая это говно, но была надежда что очередной "убийца таркова" все таки выживет, а теперь смотрю на отрицательные отзывы и вижу те же самые проблемы что и год назад. Собственно, а чем разрабы все это время занимались?
игра крайне мрачная, и это плюс не подумайте не так, Но самый большой минус я даже на поверхность ни разу не вышел из-за оптимизации, кадров 40-60 не стабильных прерывистых, и с шакальной картинкой. Из-за этого желание играть просто отпало если есть желание попробовать игру то только строго на скидках
Все механики игры сделаны через одно место...
the forever sex how the hell is hydration a problem in this world with scav girl's kevlar cannons around?
This game have a long way to go. Its not ready by far, in fact, Coming to AI behaviour, Its Barely playable. The coding is to put it gently, Not good what so ever. And that is putting it gently. We talking Broken AI patrools, Broken Ai behaviour, Over powered AI that see you from 300m away then swarm you with 50x androids, Broken AI spawns, Broken AI detection system, AI getting stuck in walls/corners etc, I can continue for hours. Stay away from this game (for now) and let them cook some more. Because right now.. the game (ai) is broken.
Preface: Bought this for $14.99, it's Early Access, and I only played an hour so far. Overall, I recommend it for sci-fi, horror, extraction players but it needs some more time and polish. I'm giving it some grace because it is in Early Access. I'm assuming it will be further optimized by 1.0. Get it on sale though, for full price ($30) it's definitely too janky right now. The GOOD: The vibe is amazing! Art style, music, and world design are all top notch! Seeing a war go on around where everything seems bigger and more deadly than you is great. I really look forward to exploring this world more. It's a dark, grim, scary world that Warhammer 40k could learn from. I like that it's a PVE extraction shooter, because I'm not good at PVP. The BAD: It's definitely janky right now. I recommend lowering the settings because it feels unoptimized. Sound has been a mixed bag. Some shooting sound FX come off really weird. Shooting and movement feel stiff, but maybe this improves with upgrades? I'll definitely play more. Planning to play with others on multiplayer, level up some of the 6 classes, and try new parts of the game out.
