The Real Review

People are mostly disappointed with Prologue: Go Wayback!, an open-world survival roguelike from PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions. While the core concept of a newly generated wilderness each run is intriguing, and some players specifically praised the world generation and map features, the execution is a major letdown. The biggest issue is performance, with widespread reports of severe technical problems on PC. Combined with middling gameplay scores and a general sense of poor value for money, it feels like an unfinished tech demo rather than a compelling survival game.
