The Gold River Project

Todavía tiene muchos errores pero la premisa es buena y vale la pena.

I talked with the DEV and understand them and happy to see Xess will be implanted. until now is negative because of my experience with my hardware. Super pixelated no matter the resolution, barely run 30 fps on a battlemage b580 The plane is invisible yet i can hear it. No XESS, no Framgen.FSR is Terrible yet the engine is U5

I bought this on sale, with the expectation that it was still in development and there would be issues. It's buggy, but I will say the small dev team is pretty responsive on multiple platforms. With that in mind I was constantly reporting any bugs or issues I observed, I wanted to help because this game honestly has potential. I hope to update this review in a year or so and recommend it. For now, even on sale, you're paying for an Alpha version. With the sale price, I'm not upset about the cost per enjoyments, but for full price, I might be. They're actively working on this so it's hard to say don't buy it, but maybe wait another few months and check to see where they're at (as long as they don't abandon it). The good: When it works, I really enjoyed playing this game. It's a little grindy, but once you get set up it's fun to explore. There are little hidden places and puzzles scattered over the large map. I never really felt like there was a danger of me not surviving, food seemed abundant, water is easy, there aren't a lot of threats. This was all great and I played on regular, not even casual, the caveat is that I never made it into winter due to game issues (see below). I really enjoyed exploring and finding out more about why I was there and how to get out. This game has some really good bones. What could be improved (understanding its a work in progress): Sometimes your character gets stuck on the map and then to unstick you have to randomly respawn on the map, not next to where you were, nope, somewhere random on the map a thousand miles away from what you were just exploring. Just respawn us next to where we got stuck. Sometimes you'll put items in a container only for them to fully just vanish. Animals spawn in very predictable areas and patterns. There will always be a cougar on the way to the radio tower, etc. Since this is a hiking/running/kayak simulator, add a key that auto hikes/runs/kayaks. This was the most tedious part of playing this game, constantly holding down forward and sprint while I went from one side of the map to the other. Small jumps and falls hurt more than they should, also jumps are a bit too floaty causing the fall damage, and climbing is a little wonky still. Hard to tell what is climbable and what isn't. Sometimes you can scale a wall of a building and other times you can't scramble up a rock face. Sometimes days don't change. Darkness came, I went to sleep, I woke up, still day 0. This happened for several days in a row. When this happened, some of my doors that I had key access to closed and relocked and the kayaks all went back to their original spawn every new day 0. I could create items to attach to the kayak, but there was no way to attach them to the kayak making them useless. Where it went wrong: My first game, I had about 8 hours in, everything was going well(ish) and I was enjoying the game despite the bugs. I discovered the elevator, my game saved in the elevator automatically. I got gassed and don't want to spoil anything, but I had to return across the map to my death location. Thinking, the game just saved automatically in that area, I would just reload it. I reloaded it and it spawned me in the elevator shaft only to fall to my death. This happened every time I retried it. So i went back to my previous personal save an hour before the elevator save and when I spawned in, the map didn't populate. It was barren and most things were missing. I tried several things and nothing fixed this. So my auto save was a death fall into an elevator shaft and my personal save was an unpopulated map that was unplayable. 8 hours gone. I started another play through, everything was going well, I would dare to even say better than the first play through with less bugs observed (or I was just use to them). I knew a bit more this time and was quicker getting things going. I put another 3 hours into the game working to get back to where I was. I saved my game and went to bed. The next day I got back on and my save went to an unpopulated map... again. The auto save and my personal save both went back to an unpopulated map. It's not just trees missing, its structures and cliffs and rocks and animals. Things in my base camp were floating and inaccessible. I reported all my bugs, I hope the devs keep plugging away, but for right now I can't bring myself to grind another 3 or 4 hours to get established only to lose it all. This was what made it unplayable, not all the little bugs. Try the demo. Maybe, maybe! get it on sale if you feel like supporting a small team of devs with a great concept. Or wait, check back in a few months. Devs, please don't abandon this, it could be a really great game. It's just not ready yet, this is Alpha if not pre-alpha.
