Abiotic Factor Gameplay Review

Earlier this week, the game Early Access Launch Trailer was released on YouTube, and thousands of players have since tried out the game on Steam. Arguably, the game is of a high caliber, considering their efforts to incorporate all the game characteristics that make survival games up to standard.

The game allows for a simple yet extremely electrifying combat style with a broad skill tree that encourages variety. Its efforts to provide a simplistic yet rich experience paid off, with tasks such as fighting, looting, and gathering well executed. 

On the flip side, throwing is somewhat of a letdown and needs an overhaul. Other subpar features are minimal. Players complain about the difficulty of leveling up on Stealth and Slow reload capabilities. 

Despite the numerous challenges facing players struggling to scavenge the environment to build a base, Abiotic Factor provides a high-quality experience to players, earning it up to a 9.3/10 rating on Steam in less than a week.
