To Start! 1 - THE GAME IS NOT SCARY 2 - The game is NOT an investigation game 3 - The game is NOT deep story-centric ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nov - 04 - 2024 With that out of the way I'd call the game a fun, silly, and light action-adventure. The game has a lot of potential to become those things. There's a lot of potential for the game to become an epic despite the Fortnite feel of the animation, movement, and gunplay. There's no end to the potential, in fact, but it seems like they nailed the feel and mechanics they want so don't expect more out of it than that, just know that it could come to pass with the right leadership. Pros: - The game is fun... A LOT of fun. - The game is relatively stable. - There's a LOT of variety in monsters. - There's a lot of gun variation as you go but not a choice crippling number. - There is a pretty fun amount of story and it's reasonably interesting but fair warning that it's wall of text style and the monster WILL NOT give you time to read. Be prepared to open notes and immediately jump out to deal with an attack, then get back in to read. - The locations are really cool and a lot of fun to explore but there's not a lot to them and the maps are good sized but not particularly large. - Even the home base has a lot to explore, ALWAYS make sure to grab ammo, and a gun if needed, when you get back to base just in case you find... Friends... _________________________________________________________ The Cons: - The ATVs are absolute garbage. Half the time they don't steer well (hit something, it seems to reset them) and even when they are steering ok they tend to slide around and high speed is a bad idea as you'll be hard pressed to stop. I recommend them for macro travelling but don't rely on them too much. - The combat is a little stale and direct by about 35% of the way through the game, it doesn't really change much. You can definitely get over this and keep going but the fighting becomes repetitive. - The story is good but super limited and as stated above, text walls with no break from the monsters to take it in. In fact this is my biggest sore spot with the game. Some of the notes are books with like 3-5 paragraphs of story to read and you can sometimes have to fend off 2 different attacks in an effort to read it. - Bad Maps... No mini map, bad map system, most locations don't even come with a map, you can't set way points, you can't buy markers of any kind, you don't transfer points of interest from map you find in the game onto your map. On some of the maps all you get is a big ambiguously colored square with no details, just a marker representing you and a little yellow circle pointing out where you should go next. - Not really enough hotbar slots. You will end up with 3-5 guns you want to switch through, you'll need healing, probably 2 kinds, and you'll have one slot left for consumables, traps, throwables, devices, decoys, and so on. The game really could have done with 8-10 hotbars slots but you get 6. Unfortunate really. - Seasonal skins are NOT added to your wardrobe but are instead added to your inventory and equipped like an item. The gas mask I get as it's a functional item (why it's not got a special button you can fast swap to I am not sure but we'll live) but why all the other stuff isn't just added into my wardrobe to equip as a simple skin item is beyond me. - While there's a lot of talk about creature weaknesses the creatures in the game simply get a story-armor and you can't beat them until you reach the final arena. You don't have to do anything special to finish it off, any damage is final damage. Again, the combat is incredibly stale by the half way point and you likely won't even need the massive amounts of cash you get. - There's really no kind of puzzle solving in the game. There's a few half-hearted puzzles but that's just not the kind of game this is. You are here to chew bubblegum and whoop monsters, they forgot to put bubblegum in the game so equip a gun and hop to it. __________________________________________________ So is the game some revelation of gaming? No. It's very mid and very simply. The game is fun though. You'll find bugs, you'll find cheese (metaphorical and little wheels of edible, healing cheese), you'll have boring moments, there's an occasional jumpscare, but, arguably the most important thing, you'll have fun. I'd give this game a solid 7/10 for its silliness and fun, providing variety and just enough interest to keep you interested without bothering to even look into other lanes. I sincerely hope they'll give this game some love in the story, atmosphere, tension, and investigation aspects but likely this is the game they made, that they intended, and that they are happy with and that's perfectly ok too. This is a solid game and while I got it for $5 on sale at a massive bargain, at the normal cost of $10 I can't recommend this game more. Ultimately, unless someone royally screw up this game has nowhere to go but up.

Its a really fun game to play with friends. Just the right blend of cheesy, campy, and horror with the fun of coop for halloween. A solid 7/10 that becomes 8/10 with your friends and coop.

So a day out is a cryptid hunting game with a cartoon art style very phasmophobia-like in its own way. You have your base with your loadout, guns, equipment, traps, etc. You can customize your base using the money you earn. You start out each mission by playing detective and going around the map finding clues in which the monster will attack you every time you progress. You have an array of weapons and equipment you can bring on missions some with. Its an ok game, the inventory system feels janky and could use some work, especially with how many healing and stamina items there are.

This is a fun game to play with friends. There are a few areas throughout the world maps where I got stuck and sometimes when getting the 4 wheelers flipped over my friends would fall through the map. The variety of monsters really kept me hooked. Gotcha catch them all!
