No need to risk it I love Crytek games
Mixed reviews on Steam but people with crappy rigs probably.
Played for 5 minutes skipped some of the cut scenes this game is like The Witcher 3 with a a rifle and scope game looks really good has a Gear of War 4 vibe to it. Game loads really fast with an SSD you climb on stuff like Rock Ledges shoot Trees and knock them over to climb on some Speed Trees. Take cover in bushes I really only scratched the surface but seems like a a decent game.
Witcher 3 with a gun. That sounds interesting as that is my favorite game of all time.
He got that out of 5 minutes and then went for the refund. LOL, not sure what the hell to make of all this.

^^ Sounds more like what I was hoping for under realistic expectations.
One thing I didn't see you mention: What's the story on the load times and especially this "5 minute load screen" controversy? Are you seeing that?
I did not notice that yet. But maybe it's a little further in? So far all the load screens were taken up by cut scenes. I will definitely report back if I notice something different. I think I am still playing the prologue because I haven't gotten to the point where I am free to roam wherever I want yet. The Prologue/opening stuff is acting as a tutorial.
Did you notice this?
Raining indoors under a shelter? LOL... well, if it's a wrecked structure with a bad roof? I'm willing to forgive stuff like that if there aren't more egregious issues.
Here is a little bit more of a fair analysis. Definitely NOT Witcher 3 with a gun. No idea how the hell that comparison works or how it makes sense. In any case, the game for me runs fine however even with my setup I am seeing some FPS dips for no apparent reason. Graphics are great and the controls are satisfying. Climbing, interacting, gun manipulation, and everything about the actual control of the character is great. Even the climbing surprisingly which often is the case in first person looks and/or controls like shit but actually works very well here.
However, there are some few things that really bother me. There appear to be some audio issues. Like, for instance I was outside of a large dome structure, started to rain, and then went inside of it. Right before I stepped inside it started to rain; I get the rain sound effects which is fine and the actual rain fall looks really good graphically. And then, I go inside of a building and I still see rain falling like crazy and there is absolutely no rain sounds AT ALL. It was very strange to be inside of a room, it pouring rain, and no rain sounds at all. Just the sounds of my breathing and foot steps.
This appears to be a regular issue with sound quality (or rather not so much quality, but missing sounds). The video I posted a couple posts up about SGW3 showed this exact same thing where he would be running through water and it sounds like sand. Just seems really shitty imo that they couldn't do a little more QC with the game. I am really hoping it gets better optimized soon and they patch these audio issues because it really really takes me out of the game to be standing inside of an enclosed room and it's pouring rain with no sound. (Shouldn't be raining indoors to begin with).
That aside there is a lot of promise here, but I wouldn't spend more than $30 on this one. Shooting is fun as hell, weapons sound and feel good, have heft to them, and there definitely is a science/system behind sniping so there is wind, angle, distance and things to take into account.
The drone controls could be a little bit tighter too. It seems to be very slippery. I guess I got used to using the very responsive drone from Wildlands. It's serviceable but could be better.
I am about an hour in and will report back with some more maybe over the weekend once I play it more at length.

Glad to see they are working hard fixing issues. I'm about ready to purchase now.
^^ That's an awful glitch. I wonder how widespread it is? If that's truly endemic we should be seeing a major firestorm in the near future from everyone that got the game.

"if it's in a steam review it must be true!"
I smell FUD. Sounds more like someone with an axe to grind.
cut paste Review from Steam
only for fans!
i'm not the type who's writing reviews but this game is so frustrating...
i preordered it and was excited to play it finally but then starts the bug-challenge.
bugs everywhere. one time i got stuck between a bush and a rock and had to return to the main menu. 2h of playing - gone. seriously, when is this game even saving? you cleared an enemy base and picked up all the loot and the game did not save? other games save like every move you make... whatever, the story is low, the acting... is there something below low?
for all the german player who made the mistake and bought this game: play it in english, the german acting is terrible.
other bugs:
-the KI sometimes just watch in the sky after running behind a wall, mysterious.
-the hitmarker is sometimes below the actual hitbox.
-sometimes corpses weren't looted, you have to do it again
-i picked up some collected and while taking a step back after that i got stuck (again), now the collective is still shown on the map but not to find there, because i already did picked it up...
-if you control the drone you have to push the button for nightvision 2 times, same with the light in the car
-the autosave, like already written above. idk when this game is saving the progress. the circle in the right corner shows up, but if you have to load the last savegame (cause you died on a landmine or got stuck) you lost like hours of gaming... not acceptable.
some good things, that made me play this game until now:
-the sniping is fun
-errr, the weapons?... yeah, they are cool and stuff
i hope you fix some of these bugs soon until then i won't continue because you have to do anything twice because of saving-fails anyway...
maybe i will change my review later.
^^ That doesn't read "FUD-ish." Obviously we've got some degrees of issues with this game.
To their credit, just since the game out, we have seen the devs throw two pretty nice patches at this and I find myself rooting for this thing. I'm interested despite those issues and I'd say if the devs come out with at least another good patch or two in the next couple of weeks it would probably address some of those issues. I don't think all hope is lost here yet.
