Thank you, Antti UPDATED: Heads up to people buying the game now. The game can NOT be run on the iGPU I played it initially on. Issue came later after I put a few hours into the game. The developer is not able to test iGPUs independently. You can NOT run the game on intel integrated graphics anymore and REQUIRE a dGPU. I tried uninstalling windows and installing cachyos/bazz and playing with proton worked for me on bazz, drivers had a couple issues on cachy. There was quite a bit of stuttering, it was playable though. Firstly, the developer, Antti, is insanely dedicated, disciplined and above all, honest. Secondly, this game is beautiful. The optimization is amazing for such quality, I'm hitting about 30fps steadily. I would like to talk not about the game in this review but the pricing, I fully expected this game to be priced with direct currency conversion or at least a rounded off figure, but the pricing is INCREDIBLY reasonable. The price tag I had in mind felt 100% justified but I am so glad that it is so reasonable. This lets so many people in second and third world countries experience this without feeling like they are overpaying and put it off until a deep discount so that they can buy it or attempting to pirate it instead. To put this into perspective for other people in first world countries, I saved up two weeks for this at the current currency conversion rate and I am spending HALF of what I expected to pay. This is amazing for myself and so many other people I know. Props to you Antti, for making the culture of Road To Vostok affordable and available for so many demographics. May you, the game and the community be prosperous in abundance.
Played a lot of Tarkov/SPT, this game hits very different. For starters it runs extremely well. Needs to be mentioned in 2026. The enemy AI seems basic/aimbot like until you realize it isn't. The AI can see out to 200 meters on a clear day, but far less during fog or at night (unless you turn on your flashlight, as I found out). They also can hear you running pretty far, but not unreasonably so (~20-30 meters). The experience you have with the AI depends heavily on if you are running around everywhere. I got ambushed, shot at constantly, and surprised when I was sprinting around. When I took things slow, suddenly I was getting the drop on enemies more often than not. Also not sweating getting shot at from a distance, because the AI is less accurate the further they are out. Way better to fight from further away than closing the distance just to eat a magdump. Another thing I noticed about the AI is that they don't seem to handle foliage well, which is nice, because being able to use concealment isn't exactly common in FPS games. The shelter system in this game alone beats out most extraction shooters to include Tarkov. You actually start getting attached to one once you start filling it out with stuff. Unfortunately I don't recommend adding the cat, because it dies if you don't feed it in like half a day, which can easily pass when you are a zone or two away. Seems like it was just added to screw with people. Now on to actually entering Vostok. I think everyone should do it at least once. You are familiar with the stress of potentially losing all your gear, but the sudden threat of permadeath after dozens of hours of progression is a new one. Feels pretty good escaping with a bunch of gear. Even surviving a single gunfight can be a rush. But it can take a lot of time to unlock some of the shelters, or complete some trader tasks, and as far as I can tell, dying while carrying quest items is a softlock out of certain gear/shelters. So you will lose all of that progress if you get unlucky in Vostok, and have to do it all again. The reward for doing Vostok runs is very good gear, and some trader missions require it (one shelter I'm aware of requires you to go deep into Vostok to complete). But the risk/reward doesn't calculate in favor of going into Vostok at all. All the high end gear is unnecessary to survive in Area 05. Most progression doesn't require it either. There is very little on offer in Vostok that offsets the loss of a save with many many hours of progression in it. This is compounded by the fact that Vostok-tier gear can be acquired, albeit slower, in Area 05 zones. As it stands, Vostok seems like where you go when you want to start over, like a built in wipe mechanic, which I believe is intended. Now for the part of the review that is mostly for the developer: I had some ideas for fixing the risk/reward imbalance, but you aren't an idiot and have probably already thought about them all anyways, so I'll just talk theory. Unless Vostok's entire purpose is a manual wipe mechanic, some sort of pressure, or encouragement, on the player would help balance the risk/reward ratio. I think players will fall into a trap where they hold off making trips until they are adequately prepared, but by then they will start taking into account how much stuff they have and how many hours it took to get it. Then they might not go at all, or only go when they are more or less done with the game and it doesn't matter. Seeing as how it seems intended that the player should be making multiple trips into Vostok to accomplish certain tasks, more players might benefit from earlier exposure and save loss in Vostok. The first permadeath will always be the most painful, and you'd want a player to experience that earlier, rather than when they are deep into progression, when it is likely painful enough of a loss that some players might stop playing, and all of the content, story, and effort developing the Vostok area will be experienced by less people. That being said, the permadeath condition in Vostok is brilliant, and nothing should ever change it. The apprehension of crossing over from minefield and seeing the apartments can only exist if you know this could be the end. That's why I recommend every player at least do it once, even if you are sitting on the inertia of a 50 or 100 hour save. Get in, get some loot, survive a gunfight or two. You won't forget that trip to Vostok anytime soon.
The game is in a weird place right now. Keeping in mind that it is a VERY early access made by one person, I still want to point out a few things. I barely scratched the surface, but some issues are obvious from the very start. 1. Loot and craft are all over the place There is no rhyme or reason to loot locations and assortment. You can find a brand new assault gun in the kitchen drawer, but cannot find a literal stick in the wood. You can craft a cooking contraption from heat stove and a battery, but cannot tear a piece of clothes into rags. And you cannot craft a single drop of water while literally living on the shore. Which brings me to... 2. The "hardcore" game that encourages dying Injury and survival is hardcore in Road to Vostok. You can succumb to broken bones, bleeding, dehydration and hunger. And the best answer the game offers you is to... die. Because it is the only option. Bandage yourself with rags? Sorry, you have 30 hoodies and 10 knives, but no rags. Make a makeshift splint? Oops, there're no branches in these woods. Want a drink? Well, the water you're walking through aught to be toxic waste, right? There is no way you can immersively heal yourself in game. But you can unimmersively die instead, restoring inside your safe house with all your stats maxed out. 3. AI problem AI is both awesome and terrible at the same time. They act somewhat realistic, finding cover, flanking and not using aimbot to make headshots from 200 meters. BUT: - Infinite ammo VS no loot: they can send thousand bullets your way, but when you finally kill and loot them, you'll find nothing but a half-spent Makarov with no extra mags. And good luck trying to wait while they run out of ammo - they won't. - Magic blasters: bots don't care about the weapon type they have. Mosin rifle? They run into a melee range the moment you get close enough. Makarov pistol? Let's try and shoot that guy from 200 meters away. And it doesn't look like the hit chance is affected much by the gun type. Although, all those issues aside, the game loop is strangely addictive. The atmosphere is thick and tense, the quietness of the map likely deliberate and working in its favour. You can spend 10 minutes with no encounters and jump out of your shoes from a sudden snap of a gunshot behind your back. Gunplay is relatively simple compared to some games, but satisfying enough allowing you to tailor your guns to your needs. Gunfights are satisfying and challenging enough to make them worthwhile even without the proper reward (which still would be nice to have though). Would I recommend it? Yes, but not right now. Waiting several months for some core mechanics mentioned above to shape a little more might make your initial experience way better.
Love this game. I am so impressed with what the dev has done. If you like Stalker, Tarkov, Metro, Dayz etc. you'll love this game. The Pros: The sounds in this game are amazing, The weather sounds so very real, and comforting. The sounds of being shot at will literally scare the ♥♥♥♥ out of you, the whizzing and impact sounds when an enemy shoots at you, MAN I love it. The maps are nice, all having something new feeling to them all. The graphics are nice, nothing mind blowing but still nice. It runs very well too, and considering my PC isn't anything crazy, I still get easy 120 fps on high-ultra settings. The guns are all very nice, and gunplay is satisfying. The cons: There aren't many attachments for guns yet, sure its early access but I want to mention it regardless. There aren't too many guns yet either, and lacking some even variation. (One shotgun, 2 snipers, 4 pistols, 10+ ARs) Still great amount, just excited for more to come. Not much to do once you're fully stacked, and all main events are over, so if you aren't happy with an incomplete story, and adventure then hold off for now. If those aren't deal breakers then buy this! Great price, and helps olut the dev. :))
Update: 2026-04-26, after a patch my avg framerate is now around 200fps. Played on CachyOS using the Vulcan shaders. Running in 4K with avg framerate of 137 outdoors and 165 indoors. The game runs in GODOT, the graphics feel slightly downgraded from the old Unity build but the graphics are decent anyway and i rather have the fantastic open source engine performance that godot delivers. AMD Ryzen 5900x AMD 7900XTX I have spent 12+ hours in the demo and now i've seen a bit of the EA version. The game has made great process since the first demos and now it has more content and the solo developer has a promising outlook on the future of the project. In the current state the only negative i can find is that the AI viewdistance at night is a bit broken. This game is not for the Call Of Duty gamer, This is for the hardcore extraction gamer that wants to relax and have a more atmospheric experience in Finland. As someone living around the arctic circle and has relatives in Finland there are products and things that are inspired by real life Finland. Things i would want from the game: -If you die i'd like there to be something in the place where you die and the ability to maybe get some things back. -Co-op
