Segment details
0:11–0:13 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_5extremely lacking in luster. I don't think
Segment details

0:20–0:22 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_9boring, I couldn't even finish my Twitch

Segment details
0:54–0:57 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_25makeup. I don't know why game developers

0:57–0:59 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_26think us players really care about what
Segment details
0:59–1:01 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_27kind of tattoos our character has. I

1:25–1:26 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_39pressing X or the R button. Feels like it

Segment details
1:29–1:30 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_41basic movement and fighting actions. The
Segment details
1:30–1:34 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_42setting looks kind of cool, I guess. It's
Segment details
1:34–1:36 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_43kind of like a post-apocalyptic American
Segment details
1:36–1:38 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_44city, but everything's so dreary and dull
Segment details
1:38–1:41 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_45and drab, and just following this NPC

1:41–1:43 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_46around while she blah blah blahs for a few
Segment details
1:43–1:45 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_47minutes, and then you finally get to the
Segment details
1:46–1:47 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_48main hub of the game, which is like the
Segment details
1:48–1:49 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_49village hub, you get a bunch of vendors
Segment details
1:49–1:51 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_50that do stuff like crafting. You can learn

1:51–1:53 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_51stuff and buy and sell stuff and upgrade
Segment details
1:54–1:56 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_52your character there. But the game is so
Segment details
1:56–1:57 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_53boring, I couldn't get far enough into the
Segment details
1:57–1:59 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_54game to even get to the point where any of
Segment details
2:00–2:01 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_55that would even matter. There's something
Segment details
2:02–2:03 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_56very janky feeling, very cheap feeling
Segment details
2:03–2:05 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_57about the quality of the movement
Segment details
2:06–2:07 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_58animations. It just feels very
Segment details
2:08–2:09 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_59unresponsive and kind of laggy and
Segment details
2:09–2:12 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_60stuttery. Very bad optimization on the PC.
Segment details
2:12–2:15 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_61I don't know if it's like this on other
Segment details
2:15–2:17 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_62platforms, but Using a PC with my pro

Segment details
2:23–2:25 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_65to run this game, the game just felt
Segment details
2:26–2:27 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_66stuttery and not very smooth, and the
Segment details
2:28–2:29 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_67animations just didn't look very great or
Segment details
2:30–2:31 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_68feel very great. As for the combat of the
Segment details
2:32–2:34 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_69game, it's not much better. The combat is
Segment details
2:35–2:36 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_70very basic. It's just like hold down right

Segment details
2:38–2:40 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_72very boring slow firing weapon, which is
Segment details
2:40–2:43 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_73like a like a rifle, some kind of musket,
Segment details
2:43–2:46 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_74and you also get like a pistol as a
Segment details
2:46–2:47 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_75sidearm. And then you shoot these very
Segment details
2:47–2:49 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_76weird-looking, boring-looking alien demon
Segment details
2:49–2:52 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_77things that look like something a

2:52–2:54 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_78university student would be working on as
Segment details
2:54–2:57 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_79like a game design project for his
Segment details
2:57–2:59 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_80homework. The game looks bad and feels
Segment details
3:00–3:02 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_81bad. The enemy models look really boring
Segment details
3:02–3:04 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_82and very basic looking and not very
Segment details
3:05–3:07 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_83creative. It's just like something very
Segment details
3:07–3:09 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_84generic. It kind of looks like a mobile
Segment details
3:09–3:11 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_85game. I'd even go as far as to say that
Segment details
3:11–3:13 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_86there's probably mobile games on the App
Segment details
3:13–3:16 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_87Store that look and play better than this.
Segment details
3:16–3:17 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_88I mean, Fortnite plays a lot better than
Segment details
3:17–3:20 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_89this, and that runs on a mobile, and this
Segment details
3:20–3:22 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_90is supposed to be a modern PC game.
Segment details
3:22–3:25 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_91Come on, this game is so bad I couldn't
Segment details
3:25–3:27 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_92even stand playing it for longer than half
Segment details
3:28–3:29 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_93an hour. The weapons are so boring, the
Segment details
3:29–3:31 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_94gameplay is really dull, and the shooting

3:32–3:34 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_95action and gameplay mechanics are

3:34–3:39 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_96weapon at the enemy and do damage. I just
Segment details
3:39–3:42 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_97feel so disappointed with this game
Segment details
3:43–3:44 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_98because before I played it and after
Segment details
3:44–3:46 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_99watching the videos and trailers and
Segment details
3:46–3:48 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_100screenshots, the game looked kind of cool.
Segment details
3:49–3:50 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_101I thought it was going to be like Elden
Segment details
3:51–3:52 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_102Ring but with guns and some kind of like,

3:52–3:56 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_103uh, cyberpunk medieval kind of themes or
Segment details
3:56–3:59 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_104atmosphere, kind of like a Dark Souls game
Segment details
4:00–4:02 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_105but with guns. But it's nothing like that.
Segment details
4:02–4:05 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_106It feels like— imagine if Fortnite looks
Segment details
4:05–4:08 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_107like Resident Evil but just didn't have

Segment details
4:12–4:13 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_109that those games have, and it's just like
Segment details
4:14–4:15 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_110a very generic bog-standard run-and-gun
Segment details
4:15–4:18 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_111shooter where you fight against these
Segment details
4:18–4:20 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_112monsters, and then there's like an outpost

Segment details
4:30–4:33 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_117this game is super generic and boring. So
Segment details
4:33–4:35 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_118unfortunately, for those reasons, I really
Segment details
4:36–4:38 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_119cannot recommend this game. I don't know
Segment details
4:38–4:40 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_120how it's on the front page of Steam and

4:43–4:45 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_122Steam. I guess July is a pretty slow

4:50–4:51 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_125of the worst games I've ever played. I

4:52–4:54 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_126give it a 0.5 out of 10.
Segment details
4:54–4:57 · rev_57657e94e72ed8390aa06c9184212163_127But I just, I feel like gambling's a waste
