About Project 5: Sightseer
Project 5: Sightseer is a cooperative (and/or competitive) multiplayer sandbox game with deep RPG elements, set in a vast, procedurally generated world.
You will start with nothing but a scanner and a mining laser in the location of your choosing -- either by yourself or with your friends, then venture forth to find resources, build outposts, research technologies and ultimately claim the world as your own.
Exploration is the core part of Sightseer. As you venture forth into the vast world, you will travel across dozens of scenic biomes, discover natural resources, strange artifacts, find discarded upgrades, and (depending on your chosen world configuration) other denizens that chose to exploit its bountiful resources.
Once you find a nice spot you wish to call home, you can claim it by building an outpost. From simple automatic resource extraction satellites to sprawling, heavily-defended main bases, it will be up to you to turn it into something you'd be proud of.
Outposts will not only extract resources for you, but they can also perform scientific research, unlocking new technologies, vehicles, parts, and structures. Furthermore, outposts built near artifacts will offer additional powerful technologies that can potentially improve all vehicles belonging to the player's faction.
As your grasp of technology grows, you will unlock new vehicles, along with weapons and other components to customize them with. All vehicles have a role, but it's up to you how to customize them to your own play style. Will you choose to emphasize stealth in a fast, agile race car that gets stronger the faster it moves, or will you choose to take to the skies in a heavily shielded flyer? Or perhaps a sturdy, dependable 8-wheeler with extra threat to draw enemies attention along with ample hull self-repair modules and an assortment of weapon attachment points is more to your liking? Then there are the various weapon types to choose from -- lasers, miniguns, cannons, plasma, missiles, railguns -- they all have their advantages and disadvantages that will unlock new designs as you use them.
Sooner or later, you will need to defend what you've built -- whether it's from opportunistic pirates, or other players (if playing on a PvP server). The easiest way to get your wheels wet is to run combat simulations -- virtual scenarios that won't cause you to lose anything. As you get better and gain upgrades, you will be able to customize your vehicles further, and will be even better prepared to face the world's enigmatic protectors, as well as their ultimate chief.
...or you can just join a cult and worship one instead.

Игра 'Project 5: Sightseer' оказалась неожиданно приятным сюрпризом. Визуально игра очень привлекательна, с детализированными пейзажами и интересным дизайном окружения. Механика исследования мира интуитивно понятна и располагает к тщательному изучению каждой локации в поисках секретов и скрытых путей. Сюжет, хоть и не блещет оригинальностью, увлекает своей загадочностью и подталкивает к разгадке тайны главного героя. Отдельно стоит отметить атмосферу, которую создают музыкальное сопровождение и звуковые эффекты. Они идеально сочетаются с визуальным стилем игры, погружая в медитативное состояние и позволяя полностью раствориться в процессе исследования. Однако, не обошлось и без небольших недостатков. Искусственный интеллект противников иногда ведет себя непредсказуемо, а некоторые головоломки кажутся излишне сложными. Тем не менее, эти минусы не портят общего впечатления от игры. В целом, 'Project 5: Sightseer' - это достойный представитель жанра приключенческих игр, который обязательно стоит попробовать любителям красивых пейзажей, загадок и медитативного геймплея. Игра обладает своим уникальным шармом и способна подарить немало приятных часов исследования. Рекомендую.2 found this helpful
[u]pros:[/u] [list] [*] technically it is superior to most games: procedural generation of very large world and minimal saves [*] outpost-oriented factory production and automation: no wires, no belts ;p - resources are RTS-like available internally [*] very fun for multiplayer/co-op! [*] modern and appealing graphics, even for a ~10 years old game! [*] GUI is very intuitive, rebinding keys (which is always shown) is "right there" - right-click on action icon instead of menus with lots of text [*] this game is free and cross-platform! :) go play now! [/list] [u]cons:[/u] [list] [*] learning curve is steep: tutorial is okay, but there is no in-game guide how to build a base properly, which resources you need first, etc... [*] no built-in wiki or "factory-pedia" to quickly check whether you need-this-NOW-or-not? [*] build-mode: tied to player (vehicle) - *any* RTS is way easier with spectator-mode [*] build-mode: lacks planning, blueprints, or w/e you call it... [*] map: not that usable and zoomable as, for example, in Factorio [*] map: missing auto-marking of resources you find [*] "search" feature could have been in more places and see some more love [*] inventory: no auto-sort an…1 found this helpful
Vehicle controls are like molasses. Combat is a joke. Nothing to do.1 found this helpful
A simple game that doesn't take too much brain power, great for just relaxing, AFk, and building stuff
This is a great fun little romp. It takes a hot minute to figure it all out, but if you need a bit of extra help, there's a great workshop mod called "Jack's Advanced Tooltips" which explains a bit more and points out stuff that might behave in a way you wouldn't exactly expect it to. I recommend playing online with friends, on one of the criminally few servers, or better hosting your own to play on.
