Absolutely fantastic world building and vibe.

Very good game - even in 2026

As someone with 500 hours in The Division 2, I thought it would be cool to check this game out. Well the only thing I really appreciated was the visual presentation, NY in the winter is always a sight to behold and the devs really captured its beauty even in the ongoing apocalyptic setting. Movement and cover mechanics are alright, though it did take some time to figure out which objects serve as reliable cover. In terms of the story, I didnt get very far but the opening is quite slow. What really frustrated me immediately is how bad the balancing feels for a solo player. In D2 I would try to do the main missions, on or 1 level below recommended because I like the challenge. In this game, however, I felt so penalized for it when I got to the Joe Ferro fight. The main problem I felt with the combat was that the enemies not only possessed high health and armor pools but also dealt ridiculous burst damage, which is hard to counter as a solo player when even a single enemy targets you. The lack of a sheild or amor bar makes it even harder to notice burst dps. So although I made it all the way to the Joe Ferro fight on the mission underlevelled, I got my ass kicked repeatedly. Well, fair enough. So I leave the mission to grind EXP, mark an encounter nearby and head in that direction. A small group of enemies stand in my way so I start firing. I take out 2 of 3 and the last guy is a bounty who instantly deletes my hp. Alt+F4 and uninstall, never again.

good fun even after all this time
