The game has no clear, linear specifications. Where to go, what to do next, you have to find out yourself. The open world is not that simple. But it's fun to walk around and explore everything. And there is also waiting quite a au. Partly eerie, partly miraculous things. And many, many fine prospects who were interested in screenshots and wallpapers perfectly suitable.
Gameplay:
The graphics are stunning. Even on a ollen PC. I had not expected.
The atmosphere in the game is perfect and some damn creepy. There are places that you should be willing to go against the valerian Herzkasper. Really .. uaaaah ...
Although I do not really first-person games like, I find this one class. The controller and all connected with it can be adjusted well and it can also be more than pleasant to play with it.
I've played through the game in 9.5 hours and belong so well you slower. However, I think that this game is one that you have to enjoy. Since you do not run through. Since you will stop and enjoy the view or watch here and there and discovered a lot. For race by holding down the Shift key, the game is too good!
The only thing I have to complain about is the memory situation.
The game uses only the autosave. And this only if you have completed a scene. And then it does not store the actual Score but only completed scenes.
Specifically, this means: If you hang in the game somewhere and get stuck, think "Then I go halt somewhere watching and come back another time here" and then somewhere else finish the different scene and the game is then AutoSave and finish the game to to do something else, then the game has only saved the last one ended and the scene where you were stuck before and not returned reset.
If you now when restart and return to the place where they hung the game the next day or the previous day otherwise fixed, then it is as if they were not even there is. All set back. All items must be re-searched and collected, crime scenes and points will be re-examined.
This can already trigger the odd little moment of frustration. However, can live with it if you know it only once and then can expect.
Hardware technical side:
My computer is not exactly up to date. (Core2Duo E8500, 4GB of DDR2 RAM and a Radeon HD4850 - all before about 6 years old)
Therefore, I had actually already written off the game due to the thumbnails, the real bombastic graphics. But as the minimum requirements have been published, I was pleased that it is running but on my PC.
However, I did not mind it: I'd probably have to make considerable compromises when it comes to graphics.
After a graphics driver update but the game ran smoothly. Namely, in stunning graphics. Two screenshots I uploaded.
Conclusion:
For 19.99 EUR (or 12 I paid) is not here certainly lays hands.
The graphics are even on older computers still a Stalin-factor. The atmosphere, the sounds, the world - Everything is very consistent and you want the game does not end actually.
The story is great and invites you to shudder. The game has a relatively short running time of about 5-10 hours. But the very worthwhile!
Only the thing with the store I find just pretty bad solved.
Due to the still relatively short playing time and the memory situation, there is a star deduction.
I hope there is a sequel or similar great game of The Astronauts!
