    Too buggy to currently be considered playable, INSOMNIA: The Ark could eventually be an enjoyable experience in a cool, dieselpunk-futuristic world.

    Insomnia is at the moment a mixed bag, It's got a lot of potential and playing it, it's hard not to see that there is a great game in there,Insomnia is at the moment a mixed bag, It's got a lot of potential and playing it, it's hard not to see that there is a great game in there, underneath all the bugs, mistranslations and lack of polishment. Not sure if it was a good idea to release it in such condition, it will hurt the public perception a lot, but I have no doubt that if it gets properly patched a few times over, there's a good game in there. Hopefully I'll be able to update the rate higher later.
    Right now you have a game with lots of influences from the Metro series, it the way it portraits a crude apocaliptic society and mixes supernatural elements ever so slightly. The difference is, this society is stuck in an automated space station, undergoing a 400 year journey to a new planet. Deep lore, and an interesting story, with lots of quests, main and secondary. Lots of customization options for your equipment, and a combat system that is satisfaying.
    But you also have poor objective tracking, maps that are hard to decipher, translation is a complete mess mixing russian and english all around, to the point of making it unplayable, unless you can read russian.
    Hopefully in a few months after a few patches we'll be able to enjoy it better.    … Full Review »

    Not so brillant after 20 hours of gameplay, i have to say that is very well done, in some aspects, like story, compelling btw, and worldNot so brillant after 20 hours of gameplay, i have to say that is very well done, in some aspects, like story, compelling btw, and world building, is like living a book.

    Its a shame that is not so satisfying to play, incredible hard and in some parts, its impossible to play. All of this plus a generous batch of bugs, we have Insomnia: the ark.

    The developers really put their heart in this game i think, but at the end, the player must enjoy it.    … Full Review »

    Excellent game. It feels like playing Fallout with Russian atmosphere.

    I have now played more than 50 hours and the game is still interesting.
    I have version 1.7 and I have encountered only two bugs. One minor (dropping through elevator floor when taking power armor off) and another very annoying. If you dismiss a companion during a mission, he tells that he will go to a base, but I have never seen those companions again.

    The story is very good. The missions are excellent. Character development is good, you cannot be a jack-of-all trades but that's ok.    … Full Review »
