Amazing!
There's a reason why everyone on the reviews has 500+ hours ! This game is just supremely fun!
Great mod support
Very detailed and complex systems
Great balancing throughout the game
Very customisable world settings
No matter what stage your world is at, new mechanics are always being introduced— keeping the game fresh at all times. Bugs getting annoying? Uranium ammo. Coal not cutting it anymore? Nuclear reactors. Power armour getting thirsty? Portable nuclear fission reactor. Bugs getting annoying? Atomic bomb.
Price?
Is it worth £30? Definitely. I'd pay £60. Infact, you CAN pay £60. Just buy the amazing DLC also!
But what about a sale? I don't think i've ever seen this game on sale.
