    The story wasn’t great, but the gameplay was fun… until I discovered roads which felt like it took away from what I found fun in the game.

      Same, the mountains redeemed it for me though. Building a network of zip lines was fun.

        I thought it was really relaxing… until it suddenly is super stressful. By the time you finish the game the stressful parts aren’t an issue anymore though.

      It’s a time travel game where stuff from players’ games bleed over into each other so who’s to say what “concurrency” actually is, really?

    I got it for free on Epic, tried it, and uninstalled it after the first Monster Energy ad. Fuck that shit.

      New studio, they had to get financing from somewhere, worst case get the director’s cut upgrade whenever it’s on sale, it cost me 5$, so I got 100h of gameplay for 5$.

        I got the game for $7 on fanatical last week and yesterday whenever I was playing it, I went to go take a dumb and there was an ad for an AMC show.

        Really took me out of it tbh.

          As I said, no ads in the director’s cut and otherwise, new studio so gotta get funding somehow… They didn’t use a funding platform as far as I remember

            Bro I was playing on the director’s cut.

            The context of the conversation was the director’s cut so I didn’t think I had to specify.

            Also these companies get private investing for the games they create. The ads just sound like long-term monetization of a product. ‘Passive income,’ some would say lol. They’re definitely not paying for their next games with ads on a 4 year old game if that’s what your implying

        Nah, pass. I’m soured on the game now. And there’s a ton of other great games to play.

        Yes. This post apocalyptic wasteland in the far future is littered with cans of Monster Energy drink which act as healing potions. So it’s not like you can avoid them either.
