Polygeddon

This game is boring, lackluster, and bad.

First, you notice you can't pick up vegetation, only some that stand out but are really scarce. Then you realize, you have to unlock the skill; pick up grass. Just why is that a unlockable skill?

rolling is a lvl 2 skill, don't think you can just get in the game and start rolling around. No, you need experience for that ♥♥♥♥.

World is empty, alot of small P.O.I with a little bit of content, but it's just wast empty spaces for the most part. AI is terrible, Zombies once locked on will follow you to the end of the earth, no way to knock them off your scent other than to kill them ofcourse. You run faster, but give them time and they will find you, they must have been trained by Liam Neeson.

Hitboxes are ♥♥♥♥, combat is boring, the radiation system is random. Crafting.. is actually ok, but getting the resources to craft is hidden behind XP-walls of random "skills" you need to unlock. I'm amazed they didn't make running an unlockable skill, they missed an opportunity on that one.

The good thing is that the game actually runs, these days some developers can't even get their games to run, so i guess cudos.

But this is basically just an empty shell not worth anybodys time or money. Janky, boring, bad. I've refunded it.

Has some alright animations compared to other games on the market using these assets that have this form of game play loop but I had to refund rather quickly as on boarding was non-existent, POI's littered with radiation where I spawned so I couldn't loot, with a fairly empty looking map compared to said alternatives.

This was alongside pretty bad optimisation that had me turning down settings and still stuttering. Perhaps the game isn't optimised for 2K but with a 4070 TI Super / 5600X just felt the game didn't run well enough for me.

That being said, I think it could be good once these things are worked on but the issues that are present are gonna be pretty big barriers for new players.

I'm recommending this game ONLY If you want to support Indie Devs, go for it.
But there are tons of issues. It's not fun, hopefully that changes in the future.

Simple things that shouldn't even be a problem at this point.
Even looting loots into pockets you don't have and fills up weight limit when your pockets/bag are full. Now you can't access the items to lower weight. Melee feels AWFUL, way too slow. Punch should not be a skill, anyone with fists can punch. Should be base functionality.

things like rolling? come on, sure give skill boosts to roll speeds/distances/ready time etc but I should be able to roll from the start too.

Crafting? Bro, why does EVERYTHING need metals... and cloths... but god forbid no where to find hemp to craft cloth.
No way to collect metals it seems, not that you could hold it anyways with how tiny the inventory is.

It's a good start, but focus should've been put into the basics of the game like inventory management, interacting with the world, basic melee combat should feel good when it comes to zombies, this game doesn't give that.

Not going to refund but not going to play until some more updates happen. Hopefully they keep at the development and read thru their reviews.
