Buy Sir, You Are Being Hunted

This game, man.

While some of the negative reviews are true, I myself have enjoyed this game very much. BUT BE WARNED, the singleplayer game is much less buggy and fleshed out than the multiplayer version, so if you are getting this game for the multiplayer, I strongly suggest you make you own server, so as to minimize the bugginess while playing.

ANYWAYS, ONTO THE REVIEW.

This game kinda fools you into thinking it's not that scary when watching the trailer, but I promise you, the first time you get spotted by an aristocratic robo-hunter and you don't even know where that guy is and then he fires at you, you are going to jump and fling your mouse into orbit (at least, that's what happened to me).

Your only friends in this robot-infested archipelago is Walter (your butler, safely at home), who guides you along your journey, and the Squire, a big robot dude that is sometimes patrolling around the villages, making sure that no one steals anything from the buildings. And if he sees you stealing, he won't be a nice robot anymore to you. But if you respect the village's houses, he will greet you with a "Lovely weather today," and a salute. He also sings "Rule Britannia" quite a bit.

This game gets rather tense at some points, and even more as you progress through the game, as more hunters and other deadly robots come in to join the hunt. I cannot tell you how many times I think I got a situation under control, and then I remember that I'm later on in the game because I see A GIANT ROBOT WITH A CANE MAKING FREAKY DISTORTED ELEPHANT NOISES STALKING THE FOREST. And just so you know, when that giant robot spots you, he will never stop chasing after you. NEVER. Also, the robot AI is very good; if you let them see you for a second or two, and then you suddenly vanish into grass, they are gonna check where they last saw you, and around that spot as well. So when you are frolicking around in the rurals of British Robot-hell, if you hear a high-pitched bleep noise, you better hit the dirt, or you might be getting hit with bullets instead.

So yeah, TL;DR, this game is a very good stealth game, but it starts to become survival horror as you get closer to your goal. So prepare for: jumpscare robo-dogs, A GIANT ROBO-KRAKEN, the Landowner(the giant robot with a cane), poachers, and a lot of british robo-hunters. Also the Scarecrow. He's a nasty little thing.

ps I got this for 5 dollars, and I think the max price I would buy this game at would be 15 dollars. So yeah, get this game on a sale, as you should with every Steam game. Happy hunting!

Procedurally generated a pond.

Could somehow sail to the North Island.
10/10 would flying boat again.

In multiplayer clipping through the world is very common. The little amount I tried single player I found that gameplay is so repeative and easy that it becomes boring really quickly. If I were to put a price on it based on it's entertainment value, I'd put 3$ at max. 20$ is just plain scam. But I can't make myself to recommend it, even if one would get it for free.

A really great game, bur after a few multiplayer sessions it quickly loses a lot of fun. Still one of the better games I have played

Although procedurally generated, it eventually turns into a boring ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. 10/10-Filthy jew

NOTE- If you're going to write a review for this game, or any game, please, for everyone's sake, play the game for MORE THAN AN HOUR.

I personally feel that a lot of negative reviews towards this game are incredibly unfair. People forget that this is not Metal Gear, it's not Ghost Recon, it's not Assassin's Creed, and it CERTAINLY is not a copy/paste of other survival genre games. Allow me to rebuke some negative comments I've heard about this game.

-Yes, the game plays slow. Sometimes, it plays slow as hell. Obviously this is not a style of gameplay for everyone. This DOES NOT, however, mean the gameplay is faulty. Sir is a game about survival at it's core, and you are intentionally given few options to fight back. Sneaking is your alternative to fighting, and if staying slow and steady isn't your cup of tea, don't ruin this game's credibility by calling it broken gameplay. And for the love of mercy, yes, standing up in an open field WILL get you seen and that is NOT unfair gameplay!

-I've read complaints about guns being useless due to their noise attracting enemies... um, duh. That's what guns do. Unprofessionalism aside, I actually really enjoyed this feature. It adds a tense cost/effect relationship to defending yourself that very few survival horror games honestly have. You can't just shoot an enemy, walk two feet, hide, and not get spotted; besides, I've used guns in this game a number of times and I've NEVER been spotted but once or twice after using them. Shoot a robot to avoid being seen, loot his scrawny metal-♥♥♥ corpse, and run like hell before his buddies show up. Seriously, if you're having trouble because you haven't played the game before, it takes PRACTICE and TIME to learn how to survive using what you're given.

-The axe... okay you guys win, the axe needs to be fixed. It's realistic! The problem is, eh, it's too realistic, and because the enemies are as aware as they are in this game, it's damn near impossible to use the axe for its intended purpose: sneaking up and attacking enemies from behind. That being said, perhaps some tweaks could be made. Make the axe do more damage so robots can't just run away when you hit them, even if they've spotted you. Use the axe to cut lumber and build a campfire. This item really does need to be made more useful.

-The save mechanic also needs to be addressed. Because of the game's slow nature, players are unable to return to a boat or the standing stones before being surrounded by hunters. Perhaps a feature could be implemented allowing players to find books that they can "use" to save their progress on the move, but maybe like ink ribbons in Resident Evil they're a one-use item. Also, can we please get more standing stones than just the one at the central island? I can't stress enough how much longer this game honestly gets having to make trips one piece at a time between islands.

In short, there are a few flaring issues with this game, and they should be addressed. However, a lot of people who write down on this game seem to share something in common: they've barely played it for an hour or two, and they've already decided they know exactly how the game works. This is not a game you can just pick up and play; it's trial and error. Sure, it can be tedious, but that doesn't make it a bad game. If anything it makes it a dynamic game. The lesson of Sir is that survival is hard, and should not be taken lightly. Speeding through it, wantonly fighting robots, and getting impatient WILL GET YOU KILLED. So please do keep in mind, sir, that you are being hunted (nailed it).

I personally recommend this game to anyone looking for a new experience when it comes to survival horror. While Sir isn't necessarily horrifying, it's pretty damn chilling the first time you're dropped in, and it takes a lot of getting used to. SO: if you get this game, be patient. If you don't like it, oh well, it's not your thing. Now go out there and... don't die. I guess. Good luck.
