Appreciate the detailed review!

I still need to try and finish Death Stranding before Wo Long releases, so might wait on this to see what patches they release for consoles (saw some Reddit posts with game-breaking bugs).

Surely they will patch in a FOV slider at the least?

You would think so. It's surely not a performance related deal

I Played two hours tonight on PS5. Really enjoying it so far. It has the bioshock set up, but also reminds me of Wolfenstein and oddly Half life series. The dialogue with the protagonist and his glove Charles is corny but not as terrible as some reviews have said. The early robots are kicking my arse. I’m really surprised how polished the game is day 1. Would recommend so far.

I absolutely cannot pick up an object and throw it to distract a camera. Impossible on PC.

That confused me at first, as well.

You use f to pick up the object. You can then hold the F key for a moment and you can then throw the object.

Should be a visual cue when it’s ready.

they explained a lot of stuff really poorly, including this. even funnier, on console it's apparently double tap and hold R1 to scan, but they just tell you "R1 + R1" lmao

you dont even need to bother distracting cameras though, just use 2 shots from the Electro and carry on. i've massacred multiple bots directly in front of a camera and it hasnt detected me.

stealth in this game is either completely broken and useless, or there's some kind of bug going on.

Second session was a lot more exhausting than my first. I'm not kidding when I say that every single section/area is at least twice as long as it should be. the game even knows it and makes fun of it with dialogue of P3 bitching

The second camera I came across at the very beginning seemed too far from the shockers reach. I tried but it did nothing. It was the camera behind the dressing door board thingy… so I needed a box to make it look to the right so I could walk closer to zap it, then destroyed it with my axe.

Upon playing again this AM I had absolutely no issues throwing an object so it seems last night a simple restart would’ve fixed my issue. It was definitely bugged.

I will say the FOV doesn’t seem as bad as I anticipated and I’m used to 103 FOV in any game that lets me adjust it.

Agreed. I usually play at 110 and I’m not bothered at all in Atomic Heart. Wonder what it’s set to

I didn't care that the company was Russian, but that's kinda shitty.

Just started playing this on game pass and your review is spot on. The dialog takes away the suspense like you woukd have in bioshock
