This Low Poly Stalker Inspired Survival Game Has ENORMOUS Potential BUT...

- Today we're taking a look at a little something different: Fargone is an indie open world survival crafting game inspired by the Stalker franchise. I got given a code by the developer for free but beyond that I wasn't sponsored or paid in any way nor am I limited in what I am allowed to say on it.
This is a brutally honest review and critique that I hope can be used to address some of the issues this game has and make it better because it is a really really cool concept and does some things incredibly well!

I bought it last year, The dev is honestly very passionate about his project, however you missed a critical thing about this, Red had to entirely recode the game to replace the AI system for a newer adjustable one which he still tweaks. Which caused alot of bugs, There used to be a workbench where you could craft the attachments to your guns.
Additionally there was a Arena which is being reworked.
All "bugged" missions are mostly not finished with a small exceptions.
The plains which was the biggest update prior to the recode used to have a major faction name'd Liberty, But in my opiniom they were made too strong and are more based on Fallout's Brotherhood of Steel as they are Tech hungry soldiers in Power Armor. And honestly they were a bit too much and I hope when Red finishes up the Plains and the Arena that he makes some major tweak to the loot drop to make it worth fighting them. I won't spoiler much, but taking their armor is a bit hard.
The AI USED to drop their weapons but Red changed it which I too found to be a bad change. Like come on!
And it is always best to report the bugs on the Discord which he ALWAYS sees on there and often fixes them with high priority except when they are some minor terrain glitches.
Fargone used to have a decent chunk of content in the Legacy edition (Available to public in the beta), And I hope he gets more appreciation for how much he does for the community.
I didn't know about the recode. As for the rest yeah I agree that it does look cool but like I said it needs work. Has potential but needs alot of work. Thanks for watching.
I like how honest you are about the game. Can't find that on UA-cam enough these days.
Thanks. Yeah I kind of felt bad being so critical but the game needs ALOT of work before it's something beyond a concept and I found it BS that the asking price is on par with other far more complete games of higher quality many of which are in early access.
Surroundead is a game I bought with my own money with a similar price point and concept and I plan to make a video on it soonish. Much much better game and has only been in EA maybe 6 or so months longer than this.
Always try to keep it honest and I wont let anybody buy me.
@@BrokenCircle1 I just played Surrounded earlier. My only gripe is the inventory system. It's like tarkov and day z i'm not a fan of it.
I like videos like this. I'm probably not gonna buy a game because I'm broke most of the time, but I'm getting into game dev myself and it's always good to get extensive, detailed feedback.
This looks interesting, but I think I'll wait until it gets more technical polish before I decide to buy it.
you're right. there are serious technical problems.
ex) framerates drop, moving stuck, lack of volume etc..
I purchased this back in early 2023 and while I enjoy it I felt like the game was trying to be "The Jack of all trades, Master of none" . I made the suggestion that they should dial back the zombies (because the market is oversaturated with them) and lean more towards the mutants. Fargone is basically lowpoly STALKER, they might as well lean hard into it. People would be incredibly receptive to an easily modified low poly STALKER.
I 100% agree. I think it needs to lean into Stalker more while also being it's own thing a bit more. The zombies thing is just in my mind too much. I really don't even like how alot of Stalker mods add too many zombies in. It's cool that they're there but when they overtake or are just as common as other mutants in the game its not fun.
@@BrokenCircle1 You should try out ADACA if you haven't already. It's more like a STALKER/Half-Life fps than the endless grind of anomaly.
@@Inquisitor_Erebus I'll check it out.
god ，your review is so good ，the things u talked here is really what a gamer care about
Thanks for watching!
Good thing i saw your video and didn’t set plans for getting this games as financial situation of my country makes it hard for me to get any game any time i want, on top of that I figured out I should get stalker trilogy first as I have money saved up for it, one thing I noticed about fargone is how some models are way more detailed compared to others, like revolver compared to characters arms, or boxes compared to character heads, there should be more variety in both zombie and human enemies, similar to how stalker has factions and different mutants
Thanks for watching! Yes I agree go with the Stalker trilogy they are great games. (Clear Sky is a bit rough though).
I had seen a few clips there are a few (though I don't think many) mutants and I know there is a knock off faction from Stalker but yeah this needs more work sadly.
@@BrokenCircle1 indeed it needs lot of work, especially on most standard things however I don’t wanna judge everything from one side because i’m not familiar with development situation and what is going on with developer, game in my region costs 8 dollars which is still not worth in my opinion, it could use some enemy placements too so it would cover up huge empty areas for traversal, add in few side quests as well and interactivity, for now i will only keep in mind fargone exist, if I enjoy stalker franchise i will also try generation zero and chernobylite
Oh my...now you're talking. I actually have a review of Generation Zero in the works. I did a review on Chernobylite a while ago and that game is FANTASTIC. I love it. Highly recommend.
@@BrokenCircle1 saw your review on chernobylite, I have a feeling it has some aspects from fallout but i may just be wrong, regardless it still looks promising and it is made by same people who made necrovision and painkiller HD, these are more or less ,,mindless horde shooter” but i had lots of fun with necrovision so I’m confident their ,,stalker like” will be good too
Hmmm I mean I've played most of the Fallout games and I wouldn't say Chernobylite was really like that at all to be honest.
for me it look a lot familiar with another low poly game "surroundead" but in first person and with a lot more bugs just like you said, the lotting its the same the vehicles are the same the houses are the same the only thing that is not the same that comes to my mind is the zombies and it doesnt rain when your inside a cave or a bulding and the map is biger i think , but i like both games and im having more fun in "surroundead" than fargone, but again its my opinian.
I just looked it up. It looks cool, I will check it out for sure.
Thanks for watching.
That’s too bad that the game is a mess at this point. It definitely looks interesting. Let’s hope whoever making it is able to fix the game’s various issues and add more content to better flesh out the world.
Since you mentioned Daggerfall have you tried out Daggerfall Unity? It ports the game into Unity and comes with various bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and is now VERY moddable. There’s a wide array of crazy cool mods that add more content to the game. It’s crazy seeing what people have added to the game, and what the base game is for the time it came out. The original devs are working on this new game called Wayward Realms, and their studio is Once Lost Games. The videos they’ve put out look cool, and from what they’ve said the Discord shows off their plans. It will be crazy to see an rpg with a bunch of well made procedural systems and community driven lore.
Yes I have! I was actually looking for footage of it for this video but due to some hard drive issues I had a month or two ago I lost it I think.
Do you think you’ll make a video talking about your thoughts on Daggerfall Unity? Do you think you might also do one on Morrowind, or probably not?
If I have time maybe though not sure. Haven't done an Elder Scrolls video in YEARS@@shreksnow1918
Makes sense. Elder Scrolls is my favorite fantasy setting because it’s so unique. If you look into the deep lore it gets pretty crazy. It’s one of those settings where thought can shape reality. Multiple contradictory things can simultaneously be true because of how the metaphysics works. Unfortunately, Bethesda has used this as an excuse to keep retconning stuff and clearly don’t care about the lore. That setting has so much potential that sadly won’t reach its full potential anymore. Thankfully, there’s a bunch of cool mods and some of them have genuinely good stories that are true to the source material (like a cool project that expands Tamriel using Morrowind era lore).
Look like fun.. currently playing Surrounded.. and was going to buy this until I realized there is no 3rd person perspective.. and that alone caused me to not even try..
See I'm the opposite. I generally dislike the 3rd person perspective.
With that though I have been looking at Surroundead but not sure if I want to spend the money or time. What are your thoughts on it?
@@BrokenCircle1 I would definitely give it a go.. I don't think you will disappointed and at 11.99$ your not out much if some how you don't enjoy it..
@@dravinlancaster6800 Funny thing is I just got it on sale today. I like it alot thusfar. Much more polished than this. Will do a video on it in the near future.
@@BrokenCircle1 nice I thought you would like it..looking forward to your video on it.. good luck on your journey..

i think games should stay away from trying to be other games and instead come up with a new game idea based around the ideas they liked from other games, hasn't worked out for halo that well but if you are really making sure its a fleshed out idea, you should be good
