This game scratches a certain itch and that's why I appreciate it as a whole, and while I cannot speak for anyone else obviously, I rather enjoy this game. It's a simple, retro, endless loot-hunt, with armor and weapon crafting elements, in an open world. That's about it... One of those games you can turn on your favorite music playlist or a podcast, run around unencumbered by narrative or any type of restriction, and just fly around and kill shit! The best part of this game (in my opinion) is the hoverboards and grappling hooks. When combined, well... You'll just have to experience the feeling to understand!

When I first started this Game I was not liking it. Gun was crap(watch stats) and enemy had great aim, alot of thing left unexplained. Unsure what to do, where to go, what goes where and how. I kept at it and find it a very enjoyable game. Once you begin to figure things out, by trial and error usually, it gets better. It can be grindy if you like or straight to the frey if you choose. I am a plodder so don't mind a little grindy. Big thing is to read everything very carefully, answers are there just not obvious all the time. The developer also seems to be very active in the forum helping to answer and fix things, with many games on-going he still finds time to help, a very good sign. Would highly recommend.

5089 is a niche game to be sure, but if you're the sort of person who enjoys dynamic sandbox gameplay in a psuedo-living world with a bit of indie charm to boot, it's loads of fun. Primarily it's focused on taking randomly-generated quests in a procedurally-generated world to gain better loot, level your character, and take on bosses to progress a linear story. There's a great emphasis on creating a dynamic sandbox world that you can interact with in a variety of ways. Enemy/ally NPCs roam the world freely engaging in battles with each other, and they can be attacked, snuck around, conversed with, stolen from, etc depending on what you feel like doing and what skills your character has. Quests involve killing certain NPCs, protecting certain NPCs, finding certain objects... stuff like that. They aren't really engrossing on their own, mostly serving as an excuse to engage with the world and explore, but they get that particular job done nicely. There's also a robust loot system with randomized stats for items AND their individual components, allowing you to disassemble and rebuild just about everything in the game as you see fit. There's quite a bit to love about 5089, so long as you're willing to put up with a somewhat grindy experience that definitely exhibits all the typical strengths and weaknesses of procedural generation. If you enjoy Bethesda RPGs or the Immersive Sims of the late 90s and want to see those ideas channeled through an indie proc-gen lens, 5089 is definitely worth a look.

Don't let the screenshots turn you away. She may not be the prettiest girl at the dance, but she's got the best personality and goddamn if she isn't a good time. The game starts by literally throwing you into it from the sky. And there you are in this big bizarre world with nothing but your wits, some creds, and the barest of tutorials to get you going. This is one of those games that gives you just enough to allow you to play, but leaves the majourity of the mechanics for you to discover. I don't think I've said "Oh, you can do that?" this many times since E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy. It's also got co-op support and Vive support. To my knowledge, this is the only game right now that you can play VR in with your non-VR friends. It also easily has the most depth for any Vive game out yet, seeing as how it's a complete game that has been given full VR support. And it doesn't have one of those stupid VR premium price tags on it. If you own VR, you have to give this a shot. Even if you don't like it, it's refundable. Us Vive users don't have a lot to choose from right now. What have you got to lose? Also, the developer (who's one guy BTW) is extremely active in the forums and cranks out patches regularly. Since I got the game a week or two ago, there's been five patches improving the VR experience, and alot of those changes have been the result of direct player feedback. He listens, and he follows through. Another big thumbs up for that. This is one of those games that Steam Refunds was built for. It's so strange as to be offputting and a more cautious buyer might not think it worth the risk. But you can always refund it if you hate it, so what's the harm? At worst, you lose an hour or so trying something new. At best, you find a wonderful, unique experience that bizarre, charming, and a blast to play!

5089 is pretty much whatever you want it to be and it manages to be really fun and engaging in the process. It's super hard if you become a hardcore base acquiring adventurer. If you want to cruise around your base riding a hoverboard and taking giant floaty jumps over stuff there's that. If you want to sneak around and stealth kill your enemies, that's an option. If you want to jump in a plane and fly around go ahead. This is a very surreal open world space where everything is randomly generated. The bases, buildings, quests... I loved 3089 and put a lot of time into it but I've realized now that I barely scratched the surface. 5089 expands on 3089 and gives you even more things to do. You make your own fun here. If you just want to buy a hoverboard and cruise around the world, trying to surivive, go for it. If you want to build up your guy to become super powerful or stealthy or stealy or whatever, there's a lot of room. 5089 is hard but I've never been too mad at it for beating me up. I still don't think I know what I'm doing but I keep going back to 5089 instead of starting up Fallout 4 again. That says a lot The game is inexpensive and there's even a loyalty discount from owning 3089. Word of warning. This is not Skyrim or Deus Ex or Fallout. This is a one man show and the look of Phr00t's world is not ever gonna compete with games built by thousands of artists. It doesn't matter though. It's consistent, functional and weird enough that it's very engaging. If the screenshots make you nervous, stay away. This is all about the gameplay. Bottom line here is that this is another Phr00t game and his stuff is outstanding. Support a great dev that makes really weird and entertaining games.
