Left Alive

I understand how the difficulty of this game turns people off but if you set it to "Casual" difficulty, it gets a lot easier and you can experience what is a great game in my opinion. I don't think it's worth a full $59.99 anymore (maybe for the first 6 months) but it's definitely worth every bit of it's regular sale price ($5.99).

It's just one of many games that gets a bad rap that's undeserved. Are there things that could use fixing? Definitely. But is it a bad game? Not at all. I think the storyline is actually pretty good and I love the environment it takes place in.

Basically, one nation invades another and you play as three characters caught in the middle of the war zone. It gives a different perspective during wartime, preferring to show it from the civilian's point of view, or the survivor's point of view. You are not only responsible for keeping yourself alive (with very little at your disposal) but you are also tasked with rescuing civilians. You don't have to save them if you don't want to which is cool that they give you the choice. But they can also be killed before you even reach them in some cases.

You also have multiple dialogue options as well when speaking to NPCs which allows for different outcomes though the main storyline won't be majorly affected.

I definitely recommend anyone who enjoys 3rd person action/adventure games especially if you enjoyed the more recent Metal Gear Solid titles.

A Game I would suggest at least trying. I see no reason why this game is in the '' Very Negative '' category.
Sure, the game does feel a bit outdated graphic wise, and has problems (mostly AI)
But its a great mix of games, like playing Metal gear Solid/Resident Evil remakes system and randomly adding Mecha, and who dosnt like Mecha!
+ The game is a 20h+ game if ya want to be a lootgoblin xD And its almost always 90% Discounted!
Did finish the game once and there are still stuff on NG+ , But for me its a chill 7/10 Game.
With good wishes, Catto!

A solid 7/10
Has it cons, has it pros, but if you don't expect miracles from this game you can enjoy quite nice story and setting with 3 different characters, meaningful (but not great and sometimes a bit unclear) choices and interesting, but uneven playstyle.
If you are looking for a AA class, stealth survival game in alternative near future setting AND you are "immune" to somewhat big amount of WOT posters (belive me, totally ignorable) AND if you get some nice deal for it on sale I can recommend it with clear conscience and encourage you to give this game a chance and there are good chances you won't regret.

It's actually a great game with an engaging story and meaningful choices. The only downside is the disappearance of enemy weapons.

One of the controversial games, sometimes it makes you angry, but i liked it - 7.5/10
And there is a very detailed guide in the Internet for 100%

Note for AMD users, you need to download a fix. Ive been able to fix the UI flickering by using DXVK, importing the d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll into the .exe folder. This is apparently due to AMD drivers breaking this game specifically. So be noted of that if you use an AMD GPU
Ive played and completed this game exactly once, here are my thoughts.
I dont understand the difficulty that people are complaining about, its perfectly fine. You have to think about encounters and use your tools to your advantage. Enemies are powerful and mechs will wipe the floor with you if youre on the ground. When youre in a mech you feel powerful but you still must be thoughtful, youre not invincible. You feel equal to other mechs around you. You must be considerate of battles overall, but if youre not theres a really fun dodgeroll on foot or dash in mechs thats really effective.
The crafting and inventory system is kinda trash, cycling through stuff you wanna use isnt done the best and is stiff. Equipping items and gear takes more clicks than it should. I DO really enjoy the storage system, if you store something in a chest, and come back to that same chest on a different character in a totally different mission, that stuff will still be there.
The characters are beautiful and likeable. Theres lots of info, backstory, and lore on them. Lots of archives you can discover and read about the lore and world. Having said that there feels to be a bit of a disconnect from cutscenes to whats going on in gameplay. They REALLY want you to read and care about those archives you collect. Try and ignore the blatant World Of Tanks sponsorship thats thrown everywhere.
I only really have two gripes. One being that lore is kinda thrown at you and explained after the fact, I think this works and doesnt at the same time. People and names are mentioned as if you already know or should know. But then gets clarified and explained a missions or two later. My other dislike is that for a mech game theres a severe lack of being in a mech. Which is unfortunate because the mechs feel really good. Theres a weight to them, and some really thought out mechanics with weapons and damage. I really wish they focused more on this and reversed the time spent in each. How could they bring in designers from Gundam, Ghost In The Shell, and Armored Core and have such little time actually in the mechs??? Theres a certain feeling from being a squishy pawn on a mech battlefield but the mech combat is just SO GOOD, like honestly. Its what kept me playing, too bad you only get 5 sections of being in a mech out of 14 missions, and only 1 of them is for the entire mission.
Is this game worth $60? No. Is it worth $6? Absolutely.

metal gear wannabe but its ok
