So far, not at all bad, in fact I really like it. I think it's super fun and the gunplay is great. There are, however, a fair few things I dislike. Before I continue, I should say, I have not been following the development of this game, so I do not know if these complaints have been addressed or if they are planned to be changed later. Now, from most disliked to least, my most disliked part of this game is the gun sound effects. While the guns feel great to use and operate really cool, they sound like guns from one of those arcade shooters you find at Dave and Busters. I wish they sounded louder, more aggressive, and more real. Next, I don't quite like the shopping aspect. The shop itself is really cool, I enjoy how interactive the displays are, and I like how detailed they are at that, having what looks like real and detailed gun manuals on display depending on the gun you look at. What I don't like is how you sell and buy items. When you buy an item, it is purchased literally by grabbing it. So if you grabbed something and wanted to inspect it, then it is too late, you already bought it without knowing whether or not you actually wanted it. And to sell something, you just put it on the counter, and it is automatically sold. I don't quite like that because, well, what if I changed my mind? I don't wanna sell that item. It would be too late, just putting the item there sells it. I feel a better way to implement this would be to have the counter be slightly different. To buy items, take the item off the shelf and place it on the counter, then shake hands with the dealer to confirm the purchase. Then, do the same thing to sell items, place it on the counter, and if satisfied with the sale price, shake hands to get the Rubles. To prevent forgetting things, if there is something on the counter in the shop, then the door will not open, and the dealer will call to you saying "You forgot this." or "Aren't you forgetting something?" The same thing for if the player grabs something and tries to walk out without paying to prevent stealing. The door won't open and the dealer will call "Pay first, or put it back." I feel this will make the shopping system not only more immersive, but more interactable than it already is. and finally, my final dislike that I can think of, the animal skinning. I feel like the idea is there, and it's awesome I can skin mutants, but I don't like how it is implemented so far. When skinning an animal, the screen fades black after you stab the corpse, and comes back with a pelt in your hand. I think it's a little underwhelming, but it works for now. To improve this, I will recommend what I saw other games with this feature do. When skinning an animal, other games will have you stab the corpse and then drag the knife across the body to skin it. When the player does this, a pelt will spawn by the body, or you could make the player physically pull the pelt off the body. As of now, the game is certainly worth the buy, it's very fun, and at some points might even spook you. All I have said so far is only meant to be constructive criticism, and I am in no manner saying this is a bad game. It deeply reminds me of Into the Radius 1 and 2, aside from mentioning Stalker of course. If you are into either of those franchises, you will most certainly enjoy this game. 10/10 Stalker-like extraction shooter.
I'm truly happy that I bought this game. I don't know why, but I thought it would be a super janky, low budget, soulless rip off of Into The Radius, but it’s not, it’s absolutely great! ITR is a top 3 game for me; I have 111 hours in it. But here are a few things Convergence does better: 1. It looks better (sharper), with cool 3D models in the world. Underground is fantastic. 2. More importantly, it runs better. ITR sometimes looks fantastic, but I have spent hours in the graphics menus tweaking things, and it's always been hard to get it smooth (even with a 4090 and 7800X3D). I have spent zero seconds in the Convergence menus, just pushed everything to max and left it. 3. Less jank, like drawers. Sure, I have been flailing my hand after objects on the ground in Convergence too, but not as much. 4. Great little community of characters when you come back from a run. ITR is truly a solo experience, even though I love that too. 5. No encumbrance, god in hell, ITR is so much more fun when you mod that out of the game. 6. Best of all, you don’t fight shadow creatures but real models of animals, humans, and monsters, I LOVE THAT! 7. The anomaly canister on your back is cool as ♥♥♥♥!! What I like better with ITR: 1. Better personal space for storing equipment. I don’t like at all that you have limited space in your home base in Convergence. 2. I love the map/quest log thing in ITR. 3. Larger maps. I would not say that Convergence is better than Into the Radius, but I would never in my life have thought that they were equally great. If you like ITR, just buy Convergence and give it a try. If you are like me, you won’t need 2 hours to see if it’s worth it, shooting the first non shadow shape enemy will do it.
