Fortune's Run

It's certainly got potential, it looks amazing and has fun gameplay moments but for an 'immersive-sim' it seems to be lacking some core elements that would garner it such a title. For starters, it feels/seems like there's only one way to achieve your objectives, which is a little lame. In a game like System Shock 2 or Deus Ex there's multiple ways to tackle your objectives. If there's a keypad you can hack it, find a different route to open it, or take a different path. In this game it seems like there's only one way to achieve it. There's a lot of jank in here too, especially with the space sections on the yellow bars. Kind of frustrating. More of a nitpick, but the voice acting is... meh... Feel like there's too much 'referential' stuff in this game, which... Kind of takes out of the whole 'immersive-sim' aspect of it. The world should feel as though it's natural, not as though it's a video game with references and secrets everywhere. Also I absolutely hate those interruption calls that disturb you mid-gameplay. Hoping you can toggle these things off in the future, i.e. toggle off the secret cats and wacky referential stuff. Some Wild Wasteland type stuff. Hope to see t…

It's been 12 years since I got out of prison after being falsely accused of a crime by a despicable federal machine that never apologized or compensated me for it, hiding behind their immunity. Never really rebuilt my life. Never was allowed to. Banned from banks, Twitter, Facebook. Can't even complain about it. Only recourse is, well, you know. Continued harassment by the authorities never stops. The whole world is a prison run by sick freaks. It probably was architected as such from the outset, this plane a prison-construct of a vile demiurge that hates us. I might as well be sentenced to hundreds of years in an orbital prison too. We all might as well. We're all doing time here. The whole purpose of our flesh is to taint us, to weigh upon our souls to prevent ascension in future incarnations. I hope Dizzie stays on the street and can continue to make content for this immaculate game, blessed by a wondrous aesthetic, compelling world building, and combat that has a sense of kung fu kinesthetics and proprioception through a keyboard, well beyond the standards of any first-person game I've ever played. Since the developer has since declared their continued interest in working on th…

absolutely insane game and development lore, cannot wait for more.

I regret buying it. it was fun but its not even close to being done it early access game so that's ok but the developer was sent to jail for stuff? there out now but there not in much of a position to do any thing in the way of finishing there game any time soon and this is just me but i don't feel like waiting on them to deliver its the risks of Early Access Game not mad but cant recommend the game tell its out of Early Access

Outstanding project in terms of ambition and the degree the dev is able to deliver on it. Movement, stealth, combat, level design, it's all well executed and when the game is firing on all cylinders I genuinely can't think of much that compares in terms of fun. For the scale of the team they're operating with Dizzie should be insanely proud. The first level is such an incredible display of imsim design, you're encouraged to go stealthy because of how deadly combat is, but when things get loud you can still fight with some really satisfying gunplay and unique melee mechanics instead of just defaulting to loading a save like in so many other stealth games. There's tons of little side objectives and secrets, all sprinkled throughout an immaculate grungy scifi world that calls to mind Alien: Resurrection of all things for me (in a fantastic way). Plenty of games tout their nonlinearity and giving the player "options" but Fortune's Run actually does it and ALL of the options are awesome. At least in the first level. Unfortunately, the second level has a lot of bugs and some pretty rough patches when it comes to platforming, progression, stealth, and puzzles. The gear platforming and fa…
