“For a game that's called "Rise", there sure is a lot of falling down. Regardless, great story, great gameplay, great graphics, loved the facial animations. I have no problem with this game, absolute 10/10.”
“It’s better than the first game in almost every way. It keeps many of the same ideas, but everything feels more refined. What stood out the most to me were the locations and structures. The tombs, ruins, caves, and old…”

“way too violent, i much preferred the prior trilogy which was more about the actual adventure than being a Mary Sue and massacre men without regard.”
“I mean, there's too many cutscenes, and this feels just like a reskin of the first reboot from 2013. A lot of ♥♥♥♥ is pretty predictable. Game isn't horrible, so far it's nothing great though. Like the 2013 reboot, it's…”
“Somehow this game started way better than the first one, but actually becomes tiring and self-repetative towards the end. Final boss is a shame to all helicopter bosses, and the bit where Kostyan takes our bow and we…”

“The final instalment of the survivor trilogy is by far the worst of the 3. The story is boring and predictable from start to finish, and the ending is rushed. The gameplay seems to have cut about 50% of it's previous…”
“Got the game and the DLCs for like 90% off. The core game is a lot of fun 8/10, but the Babba Yagga DLC is a frustrating, buggy, piece of garbage! This is why I don't pay full price for games, or their DLCs.”
