    The Riftbreaker is one of the most rewarding games that I've ever played. With that in mind, that sense of accomplishment will come after many stressful moments and heartbreaking failures which could have been alleviated with some more intuitive mechanics.

    The Riftbreaker is a genuine challenge throughout. The world is beautiful and the campaign is superb.

    This isn’t for everyone, to be sure. Less of a sprint and more of a marathon, the challenge of The Riftbreaker is both sustained and intense. This means things like pacing hiccups feel a lot more potent. Even if the prospect of an extended campaign like this seems daunting, the game’s lush visuals are a soothing balm. If you want something more out of the RTS genre, The Riftbreaker will have what you’re looking for.

Чуть ли не единственный настоящий игровой изумруд за долгий период. Сразу отмечу что не обнаружил новомодной пропаганды повестки как в омерзительной Below Zero. Игра развлекает а не рассказывает тебе как жить и перед кем каяться на коленях. Короче кому зашли factorio, satisfactory, subnautica можете смело брать. Боевая часть сделано приятно, от силовых кулаков до ядерных ракет, да да, именно мой друг, здесь можно взять по пусковой установке ядерных ракет в каждую руку и сносить орды ксеносов за мгновения. И это не так же уныло, дорого и бессмысленно как в factorio. Так же вся карта засеянная не пропадающими со временем атомными минами тоже греет душу.… Expand

    I was having a LOT of fun with this game (key word ‘was’) because as you advance and the aliens start to get more aggressive, the cracks begin to appear.
    The game is NOT optimized for the PS5 and from what I can see on the company’s Discord server (which is the worst support portal option for a company), it’s not just the PS5, high end PC’s have similar problems. If you can put aside the 10 fps moments which happen a LOT you’ll have fun, but for me it was the breaker of Riftbreaker.
    I tried to reach out to Exor via Discord and wasn’t able to get any kind of official support or advice, lots of PC patches but aside from the “Day1” patch there has been only 1 more for seasonal content. Nothing that addresses the performance issues.    … Expand
