This is the best game that I would never not play, because its really not bad that its great and cool ya know. comparing it to an amazing game like assassin's creed shadows, like. There's no comparison. Like I wouldn't not want to not play it, I think you'd be mega missing out not wanting to not play it; Wtf do you mean I'm talking in circles?

Fantastic gameplay that creates an aura of playful fear and excitement. No real issues that weren't corrected within a week by the attentive devs.
Definitely worth every penny.

This game itself is incredible, the atmosphere, the pacing, the combat, everything about it is addicting and a phenomenal homage to Half Life.
My only issue is an unaddressed security flaw with multiplayer. Right now someone with mods can hop into any public server and the host and whatever other players are on that server seem to also get that mod. There’s no warning or indicator that the server and players have been affected.
It wouldn’t be very hard to create a mod that removes something vital in the game and just corrupting people’s save/playthrough by just server hopping.
I don’t think it can go anywhere extreme like malware, but it’s still something that should be addressed before the 1.0 launch.

Phenomenal game. A must play if you are into survival games and if you have played Half-Life you will feel like you are back in Black Mesa. This game will constantly have you wanting to come back to play. Just when you think you got a grasp on what you are fighting and where you are going, the game will throw a curveball and surprise you. Like many survival games, the beginning might be a little daunting. It does a good job alleviating alot of stress that might come with survival games at the start, and will have you in a flow state where hunger isn't a pressing issue. Alot of depth to crafting and discovering new recipes. Many different skill sets, armour sets and weapons that allow that players to have different play styles. Such a great amount of content for its price point. 10/10.

It's been 100 hours with Abiotic Factor and I am still exploring new areas, I'm still exploring the plot, I'm still uncovering new items to build, and yet I still have interest and purpose to return to older areas in the game.
Abiotic Factor is a Survival game. But instead of surviving in the typical jungles, fields, bountiful forests while wielding axes and swords, you're going to be surviving a black-ops science lab that's a lot like Black Mesa of Half-Life fame crossed with Secure/Contain/Protect lore, and you're going to be doing it as a weak science nerd.
If you have played (and enjoyed!) survival games before then you should enjoy this. Notable comparisons include Grounded! and Green Hell, moreso the former. Extra points if you are a science nerd yourself! Extra-extra points if you are familiar with SCP Lore and/or have played through Half Life 1 or 2.
I love Deep Field Games' writing and character building and everything. I love how this product is soundly supporting local development through the New Zealand Centre for Digital Excellence and I appreciate that company for what it stands for.
Personally, every digital penny spent on Abiotic Factor has been more than worth it. I highly recommend.
Disclosure: This game is multiplayer friendly (even encouraged!) but I have only played single player. Also, I play with the support of a guide as is my playstyle these days. Finally, my biggest complaint of the game is what I would call the "Recipe Discovery Sequence", whereby new recipes are discovered through a puzzle element where you may or may not have all the puzzle pieces. I do not like that so I turned it off in world settings.

A 1st person immersive sim ala deus ex where you and your friends explore an infested research facility. Took us 20 hours to finish.
You can skill into different trees, but they dont feel very impactful besides the combat ones unfortunately, and it takes ages to level them up.
The enemies feel diverse and require different tactics which is good.
You can build your base everywhere, supported by energy and resource management.
I was the groups chef, after finding one base recipe it lasted for the whole game which was a bummer.
Some zones you discover feel not fleshed out, but the zone you spend the most time in feels great.
Generally a fresh take on the genre with its multyplayer attempt. Feels a bit clunky overall but gave us some great hours of exploring, gathering and fighting

Do you enjoy Half-Life 1's aesthetic and linear progression? Do you enjoy survival games like 7 Days to Die? Congratulations, you just found your new favorite game.
Abiotic Factor takes the survival formula, polishes it a little, and sprinkles some horror elements and references onto it. Problems I had with certain survival games were solved in a clever manner here, and the game is not afraid to keep you on your toes - there'll ALWAYS be something new that you're gonna die to. Sometimes this works to its detriment (looking at you, [spoiler]Ikea[/spoiler] and [spoiler]Order village[/spoiler]), but I've been having far more fun with this game than not, and I always look forward to exploring the next area together with my friend.
You should buy it! Maybe you'll get rid of the feeling that someone's watching you.

My buddy and I have been in a game slump for a while after playing nearly every decent survival game we've come across (e.g., Valheim, Sons of the Forest, Icarus). We love the genre and the many hours of gameplay these types of games provide us to play, chill, and grind at our own pace, though there's only so much tree-chopping and base-building one can tolerate before things get stale. Enter: Abiotic Factor. Holy moly, what an absolute breath of fresh air. This game adds so many unique concepts to the survival genre while still managing to be familiar that we're now 10-hours in and cannot wait for the next time we boot up.
I absolutely cannot recommend this game enough, and we fully understand why it has carried "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews since launch. The less you know, the better. Go in blind, don't look anything up, and use that over-exercised scientist brain of yours to puzzle your way out.
If the "potato graphics" are the only thing holding you back: I get it... I like high polys and rich textures as much as the next person, but we're enjoying the game all the same and it's simply not a barrier to immersion (just like Valheim, imo).
We've also had no bugs to speak of except pots/pans and their contents being a little difficult to interact with at times and needing a bit of finagling to target.
If I just absolutely had to be critical of any aspect of the game thus far, its "worst" feature is the voice acting, and yet even that becomes immediately nostalgic (a la Half Life) and endearing (small studio working with what they've got).
Great job, Deep Field -- I can't wait to see what more you have in store for us!

FUCKING AWESOME!
Abiotic Factor is easily the best survival game I have ever played. Buy it, make your friends buy it, and survive the Black Mesan’t incident.
Word of advice though: If the combat is putting you through the wringer, don’t be afraid to adjust your sandbox settings to fine-tune your difficulty. It won’t disable your achievements and it made the game much more enjoyable for me.
