You secured a pre-order, right?
Any games?
I have, but I am 50/50 on if I will keep it, simply based on how Walmart did the bundle nonsense bringing the amount to just short of $800 CAD. My wife and I are expecting in February and a few extra $100 could go toward better things. Mulling canceling it and just buying the first one I can find for retail in the wild.
Adding to that is the game situation. Everything I am interested in is on PS4 in addition to PS5. So if I didnt have it day 1, I dont think I would be too broken up. And with the preorder arriving after day 1, I dont think I have a choice.
Can we get your review on the game thus far?
Short answer is it is one of the 5 best PS4 games I have played, but if you were to tell me you hated it, I could absolutely understand that too.
It is such a strange niche of a game that there is no really great way of putting it into words. Obviously you have heard the Fed-Ex/Amazon delivery guy in the apocalypse comparisons and they are accurate. But there is so much charm in the characters and such a rewarding gameplay hook that involved me actively avoiding combat to do more ... infrastructure work?
It sounds soboring but it is so relaxing building things that make areas that were so difficult to traverse hours earlier almost trivial moving forward. The online compliments the feeling of being alone in the wasteland, but still feel like you can help a random person through some small action.
I also dont want to give the impression that the combat is bad, but stealth and avoidance are more rewarding in-game, as well as the feeling of success making it through an area undetected.
I will say that if you play the game for 1 hour and are put off, its safe to say you wont like it. But if you find it intriguing after 60 minutes, I can almost guarantee you will like what you have in store for yourself.
The random cameos are also hilarious and (to me at least) unexpected.
I can honestly say you may never play a game quite like this, which is a difficult thing to say nowadays. It's a rare game that I will probably play after I get the platinum (if I actually end up getting it). I'm roughly 50ish hours in I think, but 75% of that playtime is finding new routes, planning deliveries and just exploring.
