Look, this is not a AAA game, but it's not a bad game either. If it looks interesting to you, give it a try. It's often on sale for under $4. I see it compared to Stalker or Metro -- it's not really either of those but does have some vibes from each. The food and hydration survival mechanic is easy, as there is plenty of food and drink. What really bugged me was the combat. Enemies are everywhere and I was so frustrated in the beginning because I was done with "sneaking" everywhere. Combat is mostly melee. Ammo is rare. Stealth is so slow................ and even then I was having too many fights. Healing is slow (on normal) and "meds" to heal with are not common. Dying.... running back to find your backpack (no marker).... over and over.... After 2.5 hours I almost uninstalled... But I wanted to explore and see the story. I restarted and set it to easy -- much better and still some challenge. If you just want to see what the game is about, go for easy mode. Otherwise a decent game.

TL:DR Buy only if its under 5$ The Good: Atmosphere is amazing Music and voice acting of the protagonist and main quest are great Some main Quest moments are great. The Bad: Game legitimately feels unfinished and abandoned at times. NPCs look worse than oblivion NPCs. No fast travel means half your time will be running like an idiot from one quest to the next. This gets even worse when you have multiple side quests pulling you in different directions, There is a feeling that the Devs tried to combine too many genres in one game and did a poor job at that. You have atmosphere of Stalker, a Fallout map, survival mechanics of the Long Dark, forced unnecessary COOP meaning online features like items always reappearing in places you picked them up and Dark souls respawn at predetermined places, crappy melee centric combat of Dead Island (yes with its crappy melee weapon crafting) and a horrible half baked Gunplay that might as well not be in the game. I am leaving a positive rating only because the Devs clearly have the talent of making a good game if only they focus their abilities at once specific direction. My advice, dump every other game trope (suvival/coop/crafting/melee etc), focus on Gunplay and make a good Stalker/Fallout clone. You clearly have the talent to craft an awesome dark and spooky atmospheric FPS open world game.

DESOLATE is a buggy, a mess of a game with many animation and visual glitches. It does however have solid enough mechanics. It has decent horror elements and sounds. Best part is the story, so if you like good story games with horror elements and can get past the glitches, give it a try.

Very fun if you have a good sense of humor, and friends to play with. Story seems well-written so far, but the character designs and mechanics are kinda trash and absolutely hilarious. 5 stars just because I never played a game that can make me laugh and scare me at the same time. Buy it on sale

Loved the game, it took me a while to beat it. Mostly because I kept inviting more and more of my friends. It was a great co-op experience. I wish it never ended. Loved the elements of character building with different skills. Wish there is something like this in the works by HypeTrain. Thanks for the game.
