Modern Fallout if it was good

its like when your walking speed in a game is set to 0.1

Awful, do not buy, do not recommend, stay away. Lag and stutter make the game unplayable. Take a nap instead of buying this game. You will have more fun and save money! In 2025, 12 FPS, on Ryzen 5 2600, 32gb ram, with Radeon RX 7600.

Don't buy it. runs like shit even on modern hardware. sucha boring game and I think they paid money to pump up its sales.

[h1] As seen on Yorton, Shropshire, England [/h1] I know some of you may say [i] "No, mate. It's Youghton, Shropshire! Why did you say that?" [/i] . Well I get it, but is clearly intentional that this game is based on a real village, but using a slightly different name to prevent any kind of lawsuits in case that there's someone with a life story very close to this game (I mean it's impossible that in England could be a light being with access to a lawyer. Even that is better to be prepared for!). There's something special about this game that's not impossible to love! It is its own level design. Everybody's Goes to the Rapture is one of those few games that the map feels real not like a videogame map. There's no point A to B, you can explore the full map at your discretion and that includes that there's some hidden paths to access those previous visited areas (these paths also include some extra lore showed as anomalies or light beings). [i] Extra tip: Keep [b] R2 [/b] pressed in your controller to walk somewhat faster. Keep in mind that this buff is not instantly given. Takes some walking to start to notice the difference. [/i] Speaking about it's story, most walking simulators force you to complete some puzzles to continue or to show you the game's story. Well, this one is a little bit different. There are side stories that get instantly played once you get close to their point of interest or when you enter into their houses. Then you have those anomalies where you need to press [b] L2 [/b] then move it to left or right to activate their scene. Only after the second kind the game will save your progress. Let me give you another extra tip: [i] If you go to your Steam game's properties on Betas tab there's a beta that allows you to auto save at any time (for those that love to save manually). [/i] I don't find it necessary due to the abundant amount of anomalies, but hey! everyone has their preferences. Voice acting is incredible! You never see any characters faces, but their voices are so vivid that you can use your imagination to set their physical traits and even their actions in game. Idk what they did when hiring voice actors, they choose the most British sounding people between all the British people in existence. An absolute delight to listen to their accents! (which varies depending from where the character comes from). I know that some people hate the ending. Let's be realistic this is a videogame that tries to talk about supernatural, light beings, human relationships and religious topics keeping them as "real as possible". So, the only only logical ending is one based on [b] acceptance [/b] which, by the way, I absolutely love! Even if I love this game a lot and I consider it a more than incredible experience on the walking simulator genre. There are 2 elephants in the room that we need to addressed. [b] First one. [/b] Why the game studio is called The Chinese Room if they're located in England and at the time of making this game they didn't had any Asian employees. I mean don't be more logical call it [i] "The British Room" [/i] or [i] "The Anglo Room" [/i] ? I think we'll never get an explanation of why they choose that name for their game studio. I really would love to get the reason behind that. [b] Second one. [/b] Performance is horrible! I don't get it, if you check on credits you'll see that people from [b] Nvidia [/b] , [b] AMD [/b] , and even [b] Valve [/b] helped them with the PC port. Also, this is the only CryEngine game that I've played that runs so poorly. All of them have a reasonable performance for how many computing resources are using. Remember that this is a 2016 videogame and still struggles in 2021 hardware. When I ran it at first time with all settings at max (game was like at 5 to 8 FPS). So, How did I fixed it? Let me help you, if you have an AMD GPU: 1. Go to your AMD Adrenalin Settings and set the following. Only for this game and not as a global parameter: [list] [*]Fluid Motion Frames: [b] On [/b] [*]Radeon Anti-Lag: [b] On [/b] [*]Radeon Enhanced Sync: [b] On [/b] [*]OpenGL Triple Buffering: [b] On [/b] [/list] 2. Then go to your in game settings and do this: [list] [*]V Sync: [b] Off [/b] [*]Frame Rate Limiter: [b] Off / None [/b] [/list] 3. Last, but not least (the most important step and this needs to be done every time that you close the game and relaunch it). [list] [*]Open your Windows Task Manager and locate [i] "Everyone Goes to the Rapture" [/i] app on the processes tab. [*]Then right click on it, locate and click in [i] "Go to Details" [/i] . [*]On details, now do a right click over the [i] "Everyone Goes to the Rapture" [/i] process and locate [i] "Set Priority" [/i] . Then click on [b] high [/b] or [b] realtime [/b] . [/list] This last setting is really important idk why this game has a normal priority when most games that we run in our computers auto set on a high priority. With all these settings, now my game is running at [b] 38 to 50FPS [/b] with all settings at max. Is it perfect? Nope, still awful performance for a 10 year old game. But miles better that what I had, remember? [b] 5 to 8 FPS [/b] . [h3] Do I recommend the purchase of this game? [/h3] Absolutely yes, but in a deep sale. Use the first 2 hours of the Steam refund policy to check if you can fix the poor performance. If not, ask for a refund and purchase the PlayStation 4 port that can also be played on PlayStation 5. Who knows if PlayStation 6 will be backwards compatible!!! Really feels that the PC version of this game was broken on purpose to push PlayStation 4 sales. Even that, try it! For me it's the best walking simulator ever made.

This game has some beautiful visuals and an intriguing story that didn't quite satisfy (more explanation in the spoiler section). I think it's worth playing for the vibes/atmosphere--if you ever wanted to meander VERY SLOWLY through small English towns/rural areas, this is your game. The music is lovely, and I appreciated the high quality of the writing. It can work for fans of walking sims (those not wanting a fast-paced game, or any action). The whole point of the game is to look at everything, go everywhere, and trigger various story "events." The pace of movement is glacially slow, which is why I have no idea why anyone would want to try to get all the achievements. I have a pet peeve about achievements that force you to play through a game multiple times or do things you'd never actually do in normal gameplay. This game is an offender in this regard--the achievements are only there for the most patient of souls, the kind of people who have nothing better to do with their time than spend hours upon hours walking through the same areas again (I repeat: SLOWLY). I mean, didn't anyone in the town have a skateboard or bicycle? ffs. If I ever do 100% on a game, it's because replaying is FUN--there's some new story to unlock, say. These achievements felt like cruel and unusual punishment--no thanks. Story spoilers: [spoiler] At first, I was intrigued by the premise that two scientists had accidentally unleashed an alien entity upon an unsuspecting town. The pandemic causes everyone to turn into ash/specks of light--cool idea. But the ending was a large disappointment for me, because it went into Christian allegory territory with everyone being reunited with their loved ones in the "light" (cue eyeroll). That didn't work for me, although I thought the various stories of the people in the town were well-written and compelling overall [/spoiler]

Interesting story that ideally should have been a novel, movie or TV miniseries because as a game it becomes a bit of a slog. The walking speed in this is painfully slow, there is a "run" button but it barely increases your speed and in some areas it is disabled so you can only move at a glacial pace. The slow speed I think actually discourages you from exploring as it means any detour you take will stretch out the playtime and having to return to the main path from your detour begins to feel very tedious. There are quite a few bizarre bugs in this too; i got stuck on a staircase in one house because the staircase seemed to be too steep and my head was bumping on the ceiling of the ground floor. I feel kind of bad rating it thumbs down because i did like the story and the voice acting was really good, the game itself is just too much of a slog; it took me 5 hours to finish it and I don't think there is enough content to justify that length of the price. This developer has other games that are better than this and I recommend you check out their other games.

A game about wandering around an English small town, trying to figure out why it's empty. There's no items to collect, just voices in telephones, radios and floating light. The voice-acting is great, as is the very atmospheric music. But this game truly puts walking in walking-simulator. The speed of which you walk is a slow walking pace, slowest game I've played. There is a run button but it's all placebo, it does nothing (?!). There's also no manual save, which is utterly strange in a slow walker like this. Luckily you can pick the beta version "map_save" to be able to save at the maps with a "you are here" pointer. A must if you play this game. You really feel the design choice to try to give this game "a slow pace" but instead it just makes the game feel slow, clunky and padded. Can't tell if the game map is large or only feels like it thanks to the snail paced walking. The game engine is also buggy. Refused to run smoothly until I put the game on low latency mode in the nvidia settings. Walking speed fluctuates and it's easy to get stuck on stuff. TLDR; Good voice acting and music, interesting enough story to keep me playing. Horrible walking speed. ONLY get if you can stand a walking-simulator at a snail pace speed. Otherwise avoid.
