    Buen juego. Aunque es un poco repetitivo después de tiempo, pero aun así está un poco infravalorado.

    This is a really good experience, for have other option to battle royale games, its free for play without psplus and graphics are very good, sound, and gameplay is standard, and the experience to fight with other players to escape or defeat is really good, with a lot maps and weapons to test, is a very good option to play with friends.

    Positively surprised by the game, it has some strong foundations to move forward with, even if there is still work to do. It's fun to play with a team or solo, I have put a few dozen hours into the game thus far and have largely enjoyed my time, with encounters being the mode I enjoy by far the most.

It's fun to play with a team or solo, I have put a few dozen hours into the game thus far and have largely enjoyed my time, with encounters being the mode I enjoy by far the most. Of course I can see areas of improvement that are needed. It's probably the best "free" game I have played on console.

    Firstly, stability is an issue that I know the Dev is working on, blue screen crashes back to PS menu are still a bit too regular. Graphics on this game are relatively strong, although some maps feel a little blurry at times which is a bit odd, but overall good looking. I feel the maps could be made to look absolutely exceptional on next gen hardware but most look acceptable on base last gen consoles. Gameplay mechanics are fun, with engaging fire fights often occuring at key points on the map. There are plenty of guns to use in game, although like others have stated, I am not entirely convinced with the hit reg on the game as some players seem to soak up too many hits and certain weapons seem to ping head shots a little too easily. There is probably some need for the developer to review hit reg in the game.

    The mechanics of the game take a little from other games and blend it together to make for a fun and unique experience on consoles. While raid maps have some good variations, making use of snow, rain and topography, there are elements that need tweaking with raids. For example, a player can extract from the map immediately if they wish, personally I think extraction should only become available later in the game to avoid early round loot and run. It's not a critical feature, but I think it would make more sense. I would also like some raids to last a bit longer, perhaps having more players per raid (depending on map size) with time. Perhaps add in a map that has areas with infected to make the raid a little bit more challenging, while keeping other maps regular to give choice and variation. I also think the radiation screen effects at the end of the round should be optional as my own brother had a bad migraine triggered by these visual effects on screen that only occur at the end of the round if you haven't extracted, he won't play the game again because it's not clear how to turn the effects off. Lights and patterns like that are something that should be able to be turned off for players that are sensitive to it. There may already be a way to turn their effects off, but it should be made more obvious.

    A few other features the game needs moving forward are grenades, which oddly are absent. Flash, stun, smoke and frag grenades would all offer improvement to gameplay, I imagine this is something that will be added in at some point. I also feel that cosmetics are a little flat and boring right now, add in some military outfits or fun gear to get people excited, will go a long way to getting people to buy a season pass or upgrade. Personally I can imagine snow camo would look cool on those snow maps for example. There needs to be deeper customisable options for a game like this.

    The shelter dynamic is cool and I like the upgradability, but if you regularly play as a team then having a team shelter would be nice.

    Overall though the game has solid foundations to work with, it's very popular with over a million regular players on console. If you want something like Escape from Tarkov on consoles, but with its own flavour too, then it's highly recommended.    … Expand

    Honestly this is a surprisingly good game. The game was released a few days ago on PS4 and I am enjoying it! There are great aspects that keep you immersed in the game. It lacks other features but the game is not to blame since it was just released on PS4.

    Pros and Cons: Pros: - Unique and fun, no other game does what Vigor does. Looting to upgrade your shelter is a great idea. -    Honestly this is a surprisingly good game. The game was released a few days ago on PS4 and I am enjoying it! There are great aspects that keep you immersed in the game. It lacks other features but the game is not to blame since it was just released on PS4.

    Pros and Cons:

    Pros:
    - Unique and fun, no other game does what Vigor does. Looting to upgrade your shelter is a great idea.
    - Immersive. I sometimes get scared while playing this game because it really feels like I'm in a real battlefield. The fear of losing your items and dying always overcomes the feeling of bravery and running head first to an enemy location.
    - Strategic. If you are playing with some friends then I would suggest playing tactically and strategically. If you know how to play as a team then you will most likely thrive.
    - Rewarding. The Battle Pass is extremely rewarding and you always feel fulfilled with the loot you gain. (If you don't die, of course.).
    - Has other cool game modes. You have the main game mode, encounter, where you go around looting and trying to get the airdrop. You die then you lose all your stuff. And you have a free for all deathmatch. And a few other cool game modes.
    - Constant map rotations. I honestly just love this feature so much. It adds a lot more than one might think to the game. It always feels fresh to hop into a game because of the constant rotations.
    - Upgrades. You can upgrade your base to get cool things. It's honestly extremely cool. I suggest you find out for yourself how it works.
    - It's FREE. Yeah, this great game is completely free on the PS store.

    Cons:
    - Aiming feels off. Something doesn't feel right about it.
    - Not as smooth as I had hoped. Definitely not COD tier gameplay, doesn't run as smooth as I had hoped. But it is new to PS4 so I am giving it the benefit of the doubt.
    - Frequent crashes. You sometimes crash while joining a game or even mid-game. This can be game breaking for a lot of people. But I am sure this will be fixed in the future.
    - Can be complicated for people who just started the game. Finding everything on your own can be challenging but it's also part of the thrill.

    Overall, this is a pretty good game. I am glad it came to play station. I hope this game does really well in the future.    … Expand

    Takes mechanics from several games and puts a good show on display. As of now its free on ps4 and its honestly a fun time. I'd pat for it if it was like a $20 title, but not a full $60. It's different than the average game and it works. There tend to be errors in the app at times so I can't say 10/10

    Awful just awful. Laggy not even a real survival game it's basically a super washed down DayZ. It's a cellphone game ported to consoles and it's just terrible. I had high hopes for this and it was a complete disaster.

    It gives you the idea of a survival co-op game and instead it is a battle royale disguised. It totally kills the mood... Already deleted, and for good!!

    Vigor has not met my expectations and has not been enjoyable for the most part. There’s so many design issues and gameplay issues it’s not even worth the storage space it takes on your platform.

There’s so many design issues and gameplay issues it’s not even worth the storage space it takes on your platform. It honestly is one of the worst feeling third person shooters I’ve ever experienced and worst shooters in general. Vigor is supposed to be a game about tension, suspense, going on a run not knowing if you’ll lose your favorite gun or lose something you’ve found in game but it’s none of those. My main issue is gameplay, it feels extremely dated. The animations are atrocious. It’s honestly not a good game to look at or play. My character holds a gun like they’ve never held one before and in some situations (like when you’re prone) your character holds the gun in such a weird position you’ll have to be on top of something just to shoot at something straight ahead. Is there a 2 inch tall rock in front of you? Now your bullets will hit that instead of your target. The map is also extremely small. In a game about loot, it feels like everything is looted before I even get to the location and what I can loot isn’t even worth it. Sound is extremely bad in this game as well. What will sound like a gun fight 100 feet away from me is nowhere to be found once I reach where the sound is coming from. No bodies, no loot. Nothing. It’s as if nothing happened. What makes all this even worse is you can extract/leave the “encounter” as soon as you want. It doesn’t open after a set time, they’re just open from the start. And some of the extraction zones are for some reason extremely complicated. In one encounter, me and my squad wiped the game of mostly everyone. I was the only survivor so when I went to one of the extraction zones, there was a broken bridge to the extraction zone. As the radiation (which is an unnecessary timer) came in, I couldn’t reach another extraction zone in time. So I tried to jump the gap and wouldn’t you know, it’s too far for your character to jump. So I died, by an unnecessarily complicated extraction zone. It seems that in every instance of design, they failed. Which is disappointing for the company that made Arma. I personally can not recommend this game to anyone. If they wanted to improve the game. I’d say fix the extraction zones, sound, and make the game first person. I got killed recently through a window at the top of a wall that I didn’t know you could get up too, but I can’t shoot at the person through the window, because it wants to shoot the window sill below it. The game feels like it was made for last gen hardware and I don’t think it should ever have released without some MAJOR fixes. The third person aspect doesn’t work for the way this game feels. I don’t think a game with this enforced risk of losing your gear should also allow people to corner peak with the third person camera. This also brings me to another point: insurance. This is such a contradictive feature for a game about risk. Being able to subvert that aspect means all the gain without the loss which is what these style of games are about. I cannot see this game being worth playing despite it being free to play. Escape from Tarkov, while being a more hardcore game, is still much better at creating the gameplay and pressure this game tried and failed to recreate.… Expand

    Unwieldy garbage, apparently it's supposed to be like that. Gun fighting is less skill and more whoever gets the magic head shot. Has so many bugs to so if the fact it was designed by thumbless toddler isn't enough to turn you away from the game the the bugs should

    Vigor has a good premise but no meat on it's bones. The game fails as a shooter in both 3rd and 1st person (and no I don't mean the recoil) but is somewhat fun in a group for a few hours to mess around if the game doesen't crash (but it will).

    Un juego en dónde los sonidos de los otros jugadores al aproximarse son inexistentes, los saltos están mal hechos, los consumibles no son nada aprovechables y el Loot es reducido a nada al haber 10 jugadores en la sala

    Vigor is the soy boy of the shooter genre that crashes all the time and has the most tedious grind mechanics I've seen in awhile. This is a wet dream for campers and gamers who are generally bad at shooters.

    The whole game is an issue...

    You know the server instability happens across platforms.

    Heck, I'm always hardwired on the PS4 and have extremely reliable, fast internet (~1000 Mb/s down, ~50 Mb/s up) and still consistently have issues with that network connection message.

    It causes most players to lag all over the screen, delayed hit markers, missed shots, disappearing players, etc.

    Completely ruins the experience. I don't get booted from the game often, but might as well during all that.

    The gunplay is awful. The aim control needs heavy polishing. Recoil on every weapon is absolutely ridiculous (seriously, who's responsible for it? They need to have a sit-down) An LMG with a bipod shouldn't climb straight up when it's being fired in the prone position. Also, an AK shouldn't have a firing rate and recoil similar to a Russian PPSh-41; most of these weapons fire as if they have no buttstock, or as if they're not being firmly held in the pocket of the shoulder.

    Has anyone responsible for gunplay ever fired a single weapon in their life???

    Camera work is bad. I've noticed the guy doesn't swap back to his weapon immediately after using medicine even though it looks like he would.

    You guys have a great concept with this game -- it seems to target that Tarkov playerbase on console, in a way -- but most of what I see with the polish in this game is the SAME type of crap I watched for years on DayZ; starting all the way back in 2013.

    It's ridiculous. BI always starts with a solid project then proceeds to continuously shoot themselves in the foot -- resulting in the mass alienation of their core playerbase.

    After that, all that's left are ridiculously naive (and stupid, in my opinion) die-hard fans or those with incentive to play (content creators).

    Last time I checked, you can't meet a reasonable business model with a handful of patrons. Might wanna get that butt into gear.

    I try not to be extremely critical with developers, but you guys HAVE to see the issue here; I know you're not blind or stupid.

    PS: You also don't punish team killing in elimination -- something that only requires a miniscule degree of common-sense to fix. Not even a basic in-game report function for anything. It's as if this is a first title. BI is hopeless. Whoever is in charge needs to be cut. Whatever you guys consider to be "leadership" is clearly incorrect.    … Expand

    This is what I expected from DayZ, but have lost incentive to play after about 10 hours because you realise there is only 3 different ways to get loot and beyond that it becomes only for the sake of a rush and there is a small amount of players on the each map, it was very easy to have 78%+ survival rate.

I do believe this is a fuller game than including PUBG. A lot of frustrating elements have been taken out. But hit reg and damage is bad. Duos seems to have really bad latency so much that it's as if players have a decent health boost. There are actually better features in this than likes of PUBG and Dayz and has good Escape from Tarkov mechanics. Has some good quality of life features. TTK and latency already seems better than PUBG etc, but as maybe the game has gotten busier I've been having weird 2-tap death after smashing 6+ rounds into someone. Survival (Encounter) is the same. Gunsounds are actually better, but recoil is horrific unless you use purple items a lot of the time. The crafting system allows frustrating elements of gear fear to be less of a problem. However, it does take a considerable amount of gameplay to self-sustain with both gear and currency and this is quite an annoying letdown. Making only someone with easily with 100+hours of crafting to be able to craft to the extent of fully self sustaining themselves… Expand

You can not have a game mode called encounters when the encounters are colorless with the outcome equaling only one option. Which is kill or be killed. I assume many companies are scared to have voice chat, because they believe it can be a modern warfare 2 situation where everyone is saying every gamer word they know. Which is understandable, but in this instance I think the fear of having proximity chat is hindering the experience. Now that I think about it, I may actually be wrong.

Most people discover this game as solo players and have a hard time figuring out how the mechanics and functions of the game work. It is not built for easy accessibility for new players. And yet below the veil that is its difficulty, there is a plethora of core game play loops and fantastic features to discover with your friends or by yourself. Early game is hard without a squad as you will be bait for high level players, this leads to a lot of players quitting and despising the game (A lot of the time leading to bad reviews). But if you manage to get through these first few hours (usually 1-4) then you will find yourself being able to take on all kinds of difficult challenges you once found as obstacles that were unassailable in your previous adventures. The more you play the more you will find in the game with each encounter, shootout or elimination round being a unique, energy packed, hectic yet tactical experience with many paths to go down for possible victory. The game doesnt rquire you to pay to become the best player as most of the time simply outsmarting another player with a flanking outmaneuver or an ambush can lead you to the satisfaction of well-earned loot from another players body.

    Overall, this game is far from polished with many small bugs that can sometimes break immersion and an uninviting tutorial with a easy to pick up yet hard to master style of game. Yet, overall I find myself coming back to this game time and time again even after risking and losing valuable loot I earned through big brain tactics and well structured teamwork.    … Expand
