Westworld Awakening

As a fan of the show this was a treat, the stalker mechanics could use some work though.

tried everything to repair it and cannot even launch the game with valve index

It is beautifully rendered and created. The game is atmospheric and tense, at times even "Jeff from Half-Life: Alyx" disturbing...but at the end all you ever do is sneak around. The protagonist gains strength of awareness and self-preservation...but ultimately it's just an endless bunch of sneaking around. Why make the main character so strong, only to never see it to fruition. Give the girl a Colt 45 Peacemaker and a trail of blood to follow and this game would have been 6 stars. Sure, it's pretty. Sure the story is solid. It's a bunch of build up to something that never happens. Why let me pick out a hat if you arent going to let me pick out a gun and go to town ?? Sad. Disappointing. Interesting...but a complete let down. Still...if you like crouching and sneaking around, well, I guess this is the title for you. I wanted to put a bullet in hank's forehead at just the right Peak moment. Nope. It's a shame. 4 stars for effort. Lacking one star for the follow through that WE ALL WANTED TO SEE. Let down.
