SALVATIONLAND Reviews

Finally the game feels like as what it should have been right from the start. I completely understand that this is the devs first project, but for such reasons there is early access before launching the game as full release. [h2]With that out of the way I can now recommend this game as a very unique experience, it is a postapo survival FPS game with very interesting world (if like me you're from one of the post-soviet country, you'll enjoy the atmosphere even more or maybe it will make you more depressed - based on for instance whether you like musical genres like Russian Doomer Wave (Molchat Doma and similar bands)).[/h2] Characters are written in a very believable way - in that regards it reminds me of Balabanov's movie Brat - even the main character makes morally ambiguous choices which is given by the harsh world you have to survive in. Overall a solid 9/10. Also I really hope I won't have to change my review back to negative if I run into more game crashing bugs, I have high hopes all of those are fixed - I will see that if I finish my new playthrough. Lastly I am going to leave behind my original review below, so that I can return to it in case I find new bugs/some of the old ones not getting fixed properly. I'm sorry, but I really cannot recommend this game in such state that it is now. Good: - Interesting weird atmosphere - Nice postapo ambient music - Lots of various activities Bad: - Was able to start the game only in 1280x720 resolution, choosing other options did not even launch the game (Overall a horrible optimisation). - Navigation around locations (there is no map, I'm not asking for pointers on where to go, but at least having map of the whole areas would be helpful). - Real bad description of quests (especially when you receive tasks you can end up wandering around for hours). - When you pause the game it actually do not pause at all. - Managed to get into some sort of factory (which is one of the last locations I think) and the game twice froze and kicked me back to desktop. I wanted to like this game, but I cannot. There are tons of things that needs to get fixed/reworked.
