    Great game, I really enjoyed every part of it, even I got the platinum. But it has some technical issues that ruined my experience.
    - It has a lot of bugs, for example one of the artifacts did not appear to me at all (desfribrilator) in my iron mutant run, I got pissed because you really need the artifact.
    - It has damage and probabilities fixed in battles, for example, if a shot has a    Great game, I really enjoyed every part of it, even I got the platinum. But it has some technical issues that ruined my experience.

    - It has damage and probabilities fixed in battles, for example, if a shot has a 75% and it misses... it will miss forever, even if you restart the game, it is just fixed for that battle for you to miss, why not have it random? No one knows
    - The game crashed several times on my PS4 (I have the digital version)
    - Too short

    As a side note, I really disliked the ending... I waited much more. But it is a great game if you like tactical battle games.    … Expand

    If you like turn based games, you'll find this game fun enough to see the end of it. I didn't find anything outstanding in the gameplay. It did it's job. The real issue I have with the game is the narration. Badly written story, they had alot of potential and yet failed to exploit it, leaving us with redundent phrases.

    This Game is NOT "Amazing" or "Fantastic". It certainly hits the "OK" mark, but I really don't understand those overhyped reviews.

    I just finished my first playthrough on "Very Hard" which is described as the intended difficulty by the game itself. (I don't know why we can't call it normal then, and easy - very easy the rest but whatever). This is certanly not a bad game. Apart from    This Game is NOT "Amazing" or "Fantastic".

    This is certanly not a bad game. Apart from some tolerable nuance it has no bugs, saves and loads swiftly, the gameplay is smooth. If you like the genre you may very well enjoy it, and I would recommend it.
    BUT
    - the overhyped stealth system is really not that mindblowing. What it means in practice: You cannot really afford to confront them head on ever (in ‘very hard’), because they kill you no time so you are circling around their camps until you picked of all of those who at some point walk away from the rest with silent guns, then kill the remaining 2-3 with laud guns. It feels more like puzzle-solving ( like the old Commandos games if you played those ) then strategising, or even worse, just simply observing then executing without much creative thinking.
    - compared to XCOM: far less variety in all aspects ( weapons, character types, enemy, terrain, mission types) far less strategic depth.
    - half of character abilities are useless
    - the story is dull the ‘tiwsts’ are expected the humour is mediocre (at best).
    - playing through is not too long, and don’t really have potential replayability

    Summary: If have already exhausted the far stronger members of the genre like Divinity and XCOM, then it could be a decent pick (preferably at a discounted price)    … Expand

    Overly complicated good idea, poorly executed. I love the idea but I didn't even enjoy it as part of the game pass. Skip it.

    A promising twist on turn-based strategy games, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is more than the sum of its parts. The addition of stealth and ambush mechanics to the familiar turn-based strategy formula, forces the player to think about their approach to combat in a new way. This "Tactical Adventure" is definitely worth the journey.

    A refreshing experience for those who wants a tactical game set in a well-polished universe with interesting scenario and well written characters. Sadly, the user interface is limited and the fights sometimes look a bit sloppy, lacking of clarity and balance.
