Interesting story-driven game

Amazing epic journey from start to finish. Perfect character development, voice acting, mocap, pacing, and world building. A highly cinematic and immersive experience with good variety of game play that does not overstay its welcome. Game play is a mix of Prince of Persia acrobatics, Drake's Uncharted platforming, with some hoverboard surfing, chase sequences, and reticle point shooting thrown in for variety. Highly recommended.

Nice little game to be played and has a nice little DLC hidden in extras. I played on the Steam Deck. I would recommend, I didn't fancy the end story. Good game overall.

This game is a fun, linear story. It takes you on a journey from post apocalyptic New York city into the uninhabited wastelands of the world. The story is engaging and the world still feels very unique and interesting. You can't help but get invested and want to learn more about the lore of the world. The combat hasn't aged as gracefully as I would have expected. It isn't boring or bland, but it definitely lacks notes of modern polish. Not that that detracts from the game, it is very of its era.

Wasn't able to play this in an earlier era of videogames, but I can tell it has held up well visually.

This game was really solid, overall a good 8/10 game, the only reason I have to give it a not recommend is I got to the second to last level, and then ran into crashes at the same point consistently, and after verifying the integrity of the files, got softlocked on a different part of the mission. Got most of the way through an otherwise great game, was pushing to get the ending, then got stuck.

I checked this out because I was exploring Alex Garland's filmography and saw he had a writing credit on the game. I don't think this is his best medium for storytelling but I appreciate the themes of technology and apocalyptic scenarios that are common in his movies. The story is sort of a road trip across a future robot-infested America, and the gameplay is a mix of third person hack and slash & Tomb Raider style platforming. The characters are a little unbearable, the camera angles can be janky, and it gets pretty repetitive after a while but it's playable and fun enough for the 10 hours or so it takes to finish it.

An excellent game I played in 2025 and fully enjoyed. The game's dlc is great. It's short and beautiful. There are mods on the Nexus site that enhance the quality, and I also used NVIDIA HDR, which gives better colors.
