And the release trailer:
Downloading the GOG version hope it gets patched.
That's a bold move with a THQ Nordic product.Downloading the GOG version hope it gets patched.
As much as I like them, I'm sticking to Steam for those ones. Crossing fingers for you.
It was cheaper due to store credit from a past game they refunded. Still yeah after what happened with Expeditions: Rome I'm right to be worried. Second times a charm.
And, of course, it's made for QWERTY keyboards. Sounds like it'll be a refund.
EDIT: Looks like they're very responsive on Discord, though they're a bit overwhelmed and don't read the problem descriptions very well. I could find a few workarounds so I'll keep it and cross fingers for a patch. Why do I have to be in that part of the world? *sighs* The game looks, sounds, and feels very nice but I'll have to try that in more depth later.

I assume you use AZERTY (in which case, bonjour ). Are the controls not changeable? I started using ESDF instead of WASD for movement/camera movement and I find it a little annoying when you can't remap the controls. On PC.

You can rebind the keys, but the change is apparently not taken into account in the map (the satellite view), which is the first part of the game you see. In the isometric view, everything seems fine. I haven't tested much, so it's hard to tell if other keys are hard-coded. It looks like 1-9 are used for actions, but they're working.For now, you can use the middle mouse button to drag the map instead, so nothing appears to be blocking. There was another French player on Discord who said he didn't have any other problem.
Don't forget to click on [A]pply after rebinding the keys, because otherwise the game will discard them without any warning.

Strange steam reviews on this one, several reviews already 'reviewing' other reviews to defend the game. Here's an excerpt from one
"Posted: July 14
Even tough i refunded after 55 minutes i will give this game a thumbs up...
and i bet you will have a decent time in it if you buy it"
No idea about this game but it is already f*cking with people's heads...

Wish I have that will never happen: a 72 hour moratorium on Steam reviews from the date/time of release. I don't want to know what somebody who has "played" for 0.5 hours thinks about a game.
So how's everybody doing on the country of Grand ChienAboyeur? No, wait....
I've played a little (just a little over 2 hours), finished the first part, and now the game is opening a little.
My first impression is rather good. The combat is interesting and tactical, with cover, elevated places, and varied actions. The enemy seems a little dumb, though, but perhaps they become stronger later in the game. The story and dialogues are fine: it's not too much or too little, and it's possible to ask multiple questions to NPCs, which gives more information, leads to other questions, and sometimes C&C (the game warns you when it may have important consequences later in the game). I haven't done much at a higher level, like managing the mercs and so on, but it looks varied and fun. There's frequent banter during the exploration, the combat, and sometimes during conversations.
A few elements are a little less polished but it's nothing major. For instance, the camera is sometimes hesitant during combat when showing the enemy moves (the character got out of the screen a couple of times). Or when I had 3 mercs on a roof, I had to increase the floor level of the camera each time I switched character, or it wouldn't show the roof. And, unless I missed something, you have to guess a few things because either the tutorial only explains them later or not at all.
EDIT: The music is very nice; it will be available on Spotify this Monday.

I can give super brief impressions...it is a beautiful looking game. Great detail and gorgeous graphics. I like how there is little fish swimming around in the ocean, these kinds of small details are all over the place. The other quick awesome thing is how far you can zoom in and zoom out, its good to excellent in both aspects. Its definitely better than other isometric games such as the Pathfinder games in this aspect...you can zoom far out and zoom in pretty damn close. This of course makes the eye candy graphics even better, as they maintain their attractive look in both viewpoints.
The UI is busy, but full of information. It is nicely designed, but yea, its kinda busy. They have the middle part of the interface fade automatically when not needed in exploration - a nice and thoughtful touch.
The map is well designed. It's a big overhead view of the landmass map and you can travel where you want. Make sure to study the overland map, there are small important details to it as well. Just my first impressions in terms of the general presentation is extremely good. As mentioned, the music is awesome - it fits the "tropical adventure/thriller" theme to a tee. I can already tell this will be a game to play for a long time, it seems vast in scope.

I see the reviews on Steam are calming down. Multiplayer wasn't working at first, and I think the game got some bad scores because of it, a little ridiculous.
I have been playing for a bit (cleared the first island) and the game is great. I am playing on the highest difficulty for now and I'm not finding it too hard - although I am guessing the first island is meant as a tutorial so we will see how it goes when I get to the mainland. I don't think any of my mercs have taken a proper hit yet apart from 2-3 scratches but I am mostly using stealthy characters and have gotten a ton of stealth kills. One my characters seems to have a perk that means if they attack from stealth it always puts the enemy into "Suprised" mode which is proving to be very useful with some pre-planning.
I would suggest buying a qwerty keyboard at this pointAnd, of course, it's made for QWERTY keyboards. Sounds like it'll be a refund.

Seems to happen on a lot of games you want to play.
The island isn't hard, 3 recruit mercs (the lowest level) were enough with the normal difficulty. Two are actually medics, but Fox is actually quite good with weapons too.
Devs are getting lazy. In this case it's just lack of testing: they implemented key rebinding but some actions are apparently hard-coded. And it's the first thing you see in the game after selecting mercs.I would suggest buying a qwerty keyboard at this point

Yeah, I could take a QWERTY but it's annoying when I have to type in French.
So I'd need a whole computer just for games. Hmm.
