Couldn't play for more than 10 minutes. Simply wasn't impressed and what I was experiencing threatened to ruin what I already loved about Outpost: Haven. Walking is atrocious. The way you walk then sprint then walk again at seemingly random intervals was clunky. that combined with how laggy the game is on default settings was atrocious (I am on an even higher powered machine than when I ran Haven. I'll see if it is something on my end eventually but as of now I see no explanation that would suggest that.) the art style and graphics weren't really upgraded or updated at all, which is fine, but then it leads me to question why the game seems to be so much more processor heavy (or whatever it is causing the issues.) Fullscreen and small screen were the same.

It's alright, kinda hate how the character slows down then go back to normal speed. It's really annoying, feels like the game is lagging..
What I played of it was pretty fun, if samey. The swarm mode was espcially dull though. After 15 minutes or so I was barely doing anything, just watching my turret and ally kill everything. I played it for 30 minutes and gave up as the difficulty didn't seem to be ramping up.
I also encountered a bug where the rightmost power plant in mission 6 was apparently invulnerable and I couldn't proceed any further into the game.
Also, the SMG firing sound was ear-shatteringly loud, compared to the other guns. (or, indeed, any other sound in the game)
It's alright, it is a little slow.

Overall, a solid game.
However, I'd like to point out that the movement in this game is absolutely abysmal.
Is it too slow? No, it's a perfect walking pace.
The movement is just very odd. I can't exactly place what it is, but it ruined the game for me.
I played half way and realized I could play no more with the odd movement.
The movement is really dividing people, a lot more than in the last two Outpost games, even though it's very similar ( Just quicker than the original Haven, as that was too slow ).
Thanks for giving it a go anyway, and taking the time to post your thoughts, cheers.
