The Real Review

The reaction to Prologue: Go Wayback! is sharply divided, with many frustrated by the technical state. People are constantly criticizing the performance and the developer, PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions, for releasing a game that feels broken on PC (and Steam). The core idea of an open-world survival game with procedural generation is solid, and those who mention the map, world generation, or weather tend to like those features. For most, though, the poor execution and lack of value overshadow the promising mechanics.
