This title mixes dozens of mechanics and ideas often and willingly coming from the front of other similar works, starting from 2017, when the Open World Survival Game genre was introduced, finding its only real distinctive note in the imagery underlying the setting and the enemies, thanks above all to the shooting genre that attracts about 40,000 gamers on a vast uninterrupted map of 256 km² crossing rushing rivers and treacherous swamps or traveling through deserts and oases. Whether we hunt, cultivate, build or wage an all-out war, our only goal is to survive! And to survive in such a hostile world it is essential to choose a position close to a series of resources, such as logs and minerals. I will need a lot of them when we start building the foundations of our "house" and creating workbenches to stock up on ammunition and weapons. Watch out for every weapon and armor, as we continue to use them, their effectiveness will decrease. One of the biggest challenges is staying sane and healthy. Our body here is seen as a piece of equipment that loses durability over time if not nourished.. so you have to drink water, stay hydrated, eat and sleep. All these basic human functions must be performed to stay on top since it involves over 300 hours of exploration! The adventure begins when a group of scientists, intrigued by a mysterious "Silver Door", decide to open it. They will be catapulted into another dimension by an extraterrestrial force called Stardust Pollution, a yellow jelly, which will unleash a real apocalypse. This entity will transform plants, people, animals, the air we breathe and inanimate objects into monstrous "Deviants", monstrous creatures of various shapes and sizes that care only about eliminating any form of terrestrial life to reach the next stage of their evolution! This threat is wanted by the "Great Ones" - the same beings present in Bloodborne - the incarnations of the most terrible force in the universe. Most humans could not survive while we, a Meta-Human, will be one of the few who can harness the power of Stardust instead of being destroyed by it. With our skills we will be able to react, rebuild or even govern this destroyed world also thanks to a holographic nymph that will give us information on the different challenges that must be completed! The 3D level design is very well developed. From a third-person perspective, we can rotate the camera to see any area of the map while we follow our character, instead, at the bottom of the screen, to access the backpack where we will store all the supplies and objects that we find in the scenario. These objects will be very useful to complete some of the missions assigned to us by the holographic nymph. The main objective of a Survival, because that's what it is, will be to get food and water, better if not contaminated, as well as all the resources necessary to get by in a post-apocalyptic society in which a series of factions have incidentally arisen that pursue the most disparate goals. Crafting, or obtaining weapons of increasing power and rarity, but also the use of science fiction objects, will be used by the few survivors, codenamed "Beyonders". They will have to accumulate enough resources and power to finally face these Great Beings and finally start the counteroffensive. The adventure will be accompanied by makeshift resources with a simple cleaver; do not expect an AK-47 and the faithful RPK that will allow you to immediately exterminate hordes of deviants. The whole thing unfolds around a classic third-person shooter core and given the setting, there is also no shortage of psychic powers in the style of Jesse Faden - the heroine of Control, so to speak - and a series of crazy gadgets that seem to have sprung out of an episode of Fringe! What makes you scream perfection is when we open the map, truly enormous, in which you can notice tons of points of interest linked to specific rewards, but also world events and limited-time public events. It must be said that exploring this post-apocalyptic world, right from the start, we will come across the first bossfire post-apocalyptic world in a sort of WiFi antennas transformed into a gigantic being busy trampling everything in its path. There are plenty of extravagant bossfires and each clash with one of them will allow essential steps to "complete" the adventure. The clashes follow the majority of the mechanics encountered on the cooperative shooter front, from the inevitable "adds" to harvest to the objectives to destroy to make it vulnerable, to finally arrive at the incessant volley of bullets necessary to silence it once and for all. Unlike many mobile survival games, this one has a rich narrative thread in pure "Federal Bureau of Control" style, with sections narrated by a voice-over, a sort of flying bird, and segments dedicated solely to the story, with cutscenes that show research centers that are now abandoned but still house the lost knowledge of the scientists who unleashed the paranormal catastrophe. A key strategy for survival is to always maintain a balance between resource gathering and resource usage. Stockpiling essential materials such as wood, stone, and food ensures that they do not run out during critical situations. It is important to monitor resource consumption and avoid wasting materials on unnecessary items.
