I was actually wondering about this. Their marketing gives a very mixed idea of what the campaign structure actually entails. Is it fairly open or does it mostly present things in a linear fashion? No issues with either approach, just curious.
Right now it just dumps you in the middle of the map and sets you loose. I think there three distinct areas but I’ve only seen the first one so far. No idea if the other areas are gated in any way or if it’s all open.
It’s still in early access so there are things that haven’t been added yet but the basic structure is all there with enemies, building materials and two tiers of weapons and armor. Plus the “story” stuff which is basically you figuring out how you got shrunk and how to get unshrunk.

Gamer rage moment…
Just fought through a pivotal and challenging battle in DOS2, decided I may as well sort through the loot before proceeding, neglected to save my game… Then… The power went out…

Honestly one big benefit of moving to laptops for PCs that I never even considered and normally forget about until it comes up is that power outages don’t immediately fuck up whatever I’m doing.

Played a few hours of S,T*A.L;K`E:R" Call of Pripyat this week and have been pretty underwhelmed by it. There just isn’t much happening, except a lot of walking. In a lot of ways it’s the nicest of the games to play, the least choppy, but you never get to shoot and all the good atmosphere is undermined by the fact that you’re rarely in danger. I looked into what mods were available, but none of them seem to really address this main issue. Might just play Clear Sky.

yeah you pretty much hit the nail on the head as to why Shadow of Chernobyl is the only one worth playing. Clear Sky is ambitious but the Total Faction Warfare mod is as interesting as it ever gets with that game.

I really appreciate how exciting the campaign of SoC is now. First steps out of Cordan, exploring the labs, doing research at the lake, the Black Forest and passing the Brain Scorcher, and the assault on Pripyat and eventually heading into the NPP! Wow.

got into the beta for anime breath of the wild. its not bad. its got all the stuff from botw, but some of it is like, lesser? like fires dont cause updrafts and cooking isnt as fun cuz its all preset recipes for example. no weapon breaking tho, which is a plus for a lot of people

Was really excited to hear The Chinese Room put out a new game, but so disappointed to learn it’s an Apple Arcade exclusive. I have never been completely in love with their games, but the things I do love about them blind me to their flaws. I think about moments in and aspects of A Machine for Pigs and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture all the time.
Have u tried Call of Pripyat, it’s a lot more accessible as a Game, the setting and tone isn’t as strong but it more than makes up for it by being more fun to play

Nah, but I’ll check it out. It’s a series that deserves to be appreciated more.

i replayed it again last night and got through it, saved literally as soon as the final foe was slewn
the part that sucks is i got some really nice gear the first time i played it and the random drops this time were less good
