I doubt majority of the people who are hating on this game even played this game. They are complaining about the things which don't even exist in the game and have no clue what the game is about.
I am enjoying every moment of this game. People are rating for the sale of it.
It may end up my overall GOTY this year.
(this is my 5 hour impression)
If you've played the demo you'd have understood what kind of game is this, it's a semi open world, no hud, no hand holding like a child survival game. Explore and uncover the truth without any quest mark or support.
The game has done an excellent job with the exploration and mysterious moments. I'm ahead of where the demo ended and that was just prologue, the real game starts afterwards.
For a new studio they undertook this concept in unique and very interesting manner, just like in Alters/COE33. The strange constantly changing world which is suffering from a war with an alien entity or something, makes it even more fascinating.The Tempest 3D Sound is very well done here, better than many PS5 exclusives too. Graphics are good, gameplay/combat is basic but fun. The main aspect of this game is exploration and they've nailed it.
I can't wait to play more tomorrow
