What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

PIONER suffers from severe technical problems including frequent crashes, stuttering, long load times, and gameplay bugs like weapons failing to fire, making it difficult to progress through even the prologue. While some players appreciate its post-apocalyptic setting and potential as a Stalker-like experience, the performance issues and instability are severe enough that most recommend avoiding it until substantial patches are released.

I was loving the game. Played 2 hours and the game did not save. Tried multiple times and contacted the devs on multiple platforms with zero reply. This review CAN change. Cmon devs, freaking respond.

Potential. Gunplay is solid. Graphics aren't bad. But my god, the performance is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful. Genuinely unplayable for me. Even at the lowest settings, it's using 100% of GPU at all times and barely holds 20 fps, all while stuttering and freezing nonstop. Although I suppose I can consider myself lucky, as I didn't run into the nefarious progress-deletion glitch. It seems to have been patched out. Please for the love of god fix the performance and this game might not be half bad.
