SALVATIONLAND

Finally the game feels like as what it should have been right from the start. I completely understand that this is the devs first project, but for such reasons there is early access before launching the game as full release. [h2]With that out of the way I can now recommend this game as a very unique experience, it is a postapo survival FPS game with very interesting world (if like me you're from one of the post-soviet country, you'll enjoy the atmosphere even more or maybe it will make you more depressed - based on for instance whether you like musical genres like Russian Doomer Wave (Molchat Doma and similar bands)).[/h2] Characters are written in a very believable way - in that regards it reminds me of Balabanov's movie Brat - even the main character makes morally ambiguous choices which is given by the harsh world you have to survive in.

This premise sets the tone for a bleak yet intriguing exploration of survival, morality, and hope amid decay. The game’s concept is rooted in classic dystopian storytelling—an isolated city, a tyrannical leader, and a protagonist caught between obedience and rebellion—but its execution leans into the unique charm of indie experimentation, combining elements of adventure, survival, and narrative-driven design. The setting of Salvationland immediately establishes its atmosphere through stark contrasts. The flooded wastelands surrounding the city evoke a sense of isolation and tragedy, while the fortified mountain settlement known as Sal…
