This game is riddled with terrible game design choices, and remains in an unfinished state despite being in development for over 10 years.

I have gone back and forth on whether I recommend this game or not, and after having thoroughly explored everything the game has to offer, I can safely say it is not worth getting.

It is a puzzling case.
Some parts of this game (such as its building system) are absolutely phenomenal and impressive, while other aspects feel like they have been given no intelligent thought whatsoever. Here's a couple examples of the latter:

• Imagine you're thirsty, right? Your survival instincts dictate that you gather water from a lake and boil it to make it safe to drink, or something to that effect. Well guess what? That's not an option anymore in this game. They REMOVED it. To get water, you must either venture into several zombie infested buildings to scrounge up toilet water or craft "dew collectors". From a standpoint of survival common sense, this doesn't make any sense at all

• Do you want to progress in an intuitive and fluid way? Well too bad, They removed that too. Literally the only way to progress in the game as of alpha 21 is to find reading materials scattered throughout the world. Locking your game's main progression system behind random chance in such a rigid way feels completely suffocating sometimes. The player can do everything right, and simply just not find the right books to progress due to bad luck.

A shameless predatory cash grab and a sad hollow shell of its former self; A complete downgrade from its predecessor, and a disappointment. Overwatch 2 not only destroyed and paved over a perfectly good game, but replaced it with a financially exploitative digital cesspit which serves little purpose other than to satiate Blizzard's endless greed.

review as of 12/11/2020:
Unstable, unfinished, lacking-in-depth, odd/conflicting controls, & tons of performance issues.
All of this can be yours for the low price of just $59.99 USD! (Unless you're disabled or epileptic....)

This review will remain negative until CDPR deals with the substantial number of launch issues their game has. It is completely unacceptable that a game which has been hyped for this long has launched with fewer features than some games from 2005.



review update for 10/03/2022:
While CDPR has somewhat remedied many of the launch issues ( such as the lack of post-creation character customization ), there are still far-too-many glaring and unacceptable flaws and oversights within this long-hyped game. - The review remains negative.

Very fun and addictive game, Not recommended for those with anger management issues.
I have a few gripes about it:


• Some items literally take real-life days worth of grinding to obtain if you have bad luck.


• Fishing is far too boring to warrant having so many useful items locked behind it.


• Many of the game's bosses become exponentially harder to kill as their health nears 0.
This makes getting killed when the boss is at ~5% hp a far more-likely occurrence.

To me, this feels like a case of bad game design. I feel like it's definitely achievable to make a boss difficult without having a high probability of the player getting frustrated and punching their desk.

But that's just my opinion, take it with a grain of salt.
Maybe I should stay away from master mode.

It's Skyrim, except there isn't any workshop support.
