This game is short but good while it lasts. It's a real shame that Ubisoft didn't give enough budget nor time to finish it properly. The game ends abruptly in a really low note and that's it. The gameplay consists in traversing a deserted city full of dust and other humans that are trying to survive this unexplained apocalipse. There's a lot of climbing obstacles and looking at a map to see where you're supposed to go. The combat is bassicaly using your gun with barely any ammo to intimidate enemies and shoot them only if needed. There are stealth elements and the only way to fight someone melee is with an easy QTE. The experience was good but really felt unfinished so I recommend buying on sale. 7/10

If u play this in 2025, before you start go to the game root files- src-SYSTEM- UserSettings and delete all the codes line except the ones below the following: [SystemValidation], [DefaultPlayer], [Engine.PlayerInput], [Engine.PlayerController], [Engine.MarketingCamInput], [Engine.Input]. To be more precise, the last line has to be MultiSampleType=2. nothing else needed or the game won't start or work properly In conclusion, in the same path rename the file systemdetection.dll in systemdetection.dll.BAK this will prevent the game to detect windows 10 or 11 (the game was released while windows 7 was a thing) ps: ubisoft is garbage. i had to discover this alone

Sadly a underrated gem, The atmosphere is perfect, being able to trick the enemy with an empty gun is genius, that we don't see very often if at all. People reviewed bombed for slightly jankey controls, and graphics. It deserved a second game, one which completes the cliffhanger this game ends on. But no, Ubisoft is to preoccupied with destroying themselves. To the people that keep getting crashes and everything...Look up fixes. The internet exist and ubisoft will never patch/fix this game. I have a crap pc, like bottom of the barrel, and the first fix i found online fixed every issue you all complain about.

I highly recommend this game it's short but not too short I beat in just over 4 hours with 98% completion but mainly bought it because I originally played it when i was younger on my ps3 (didn't get too far because I sucked at stamina management lol) if you have time I recommend giving this gem a try. Anyways thank you for reading this you're a legend! P.S I Am (still) Alive

I had never heard of this game until now and having played it - I really enjoyed it. The combat has a cool twist - even if you don't have any bullets, you can point your gun at people and intimidate them, although some of them will try and call your bluff. You can also intimidate them to step back near a hole or a fire and then you can push them in it. I'd like to see similar things in more games. The climbing with decreasing stamina will be a turnoff for some people, but I didn't have any issues with it, I enjoyed those parts. I very much enjoyed the dreary world, too. What I didn't enjoy - the save system is balls. The graphics are too overprocessed, although it does give it this bleak and unique vibe. And the ending is very abrupt and not very satisfying. But overall - I'd definitely recommend this game.
