12 minutes was enough with this particularly warm, steamy loaf. I'm sure the devs had some vision in mind, but everything about this game feels broken. Seems like it takes 8 seconds to switch from holding the flashlight over to the odd spear launcher thing since you're not allowed to both see and aim at the same time in a nearly all dark environment. Some enemies seemed unable to pass through an open door while others have textures that pop out on the other side of a closed door. This really should have been a free demo.

Save your money - it's not even worth the $5.00 I spent on it. It's too bad Steam doesn't have a return feature like the Origin client does.

EDIT: They are fixing most of the technical issues, but I still cannot recommend this game to my friends, or anyone for that matter because of the sheer lack of game play mechanics and how shallow the existing ones are.

I dropped my gun and couldn't pick up another one, the optimization was iffy, I got stuck on a pipe, the game design seem to be limited to grab the keycard and hit the thing, and in the short time I played I managed to turn the entire game wire frame by hitting esc and when I pressed F2 the entire thing quit itself. It took me all of 12 minutes to want my money back, as this game does not offer a compelling story or fun game experience. It was ear destroying ambient noise, unappealing AI interaction and absolutely no depth in combat, with a complete lack of any other mechanic. Unlike the description, there where almost no dynamics, and I was not even slightly thrilled playing any part of this game. If you want a good sci-fi horror shooter experience, you are probably just better off installing Doom 3 again.

The game to me feels very unfinished and I think optimization is a big issue. The game feels like it's in early access. I don't even have to play the game that long to see it. Game does not run very smooth and needs fixing of some mechanics. I'm sure a few patches can fix these issues. But until then I doubt I'll play much.

Cargo 3 is an unfinished product sold at 15 dollars a pop. It's repetitive, boring, and lack of content makes it a shallow game which needs much more time in the development cycle. You'll find bugs a plenty and combat is slow, mundane, and uninteresting.

While the enviorments themselves are interesting at first, they lose their appeal after the first level. Mostly because it's copy pasted over and over and over again through out the 7 levels seperated by 3 stages in each one. The game can be beat within a range of 2 hours if you put a lot of effort to it, or even 30 minutes if you spend time using the console which is still enabled.

Overall, this game needs work. A LOT of work.

ok, I've not really played much but let me explain WHY I haven't. First off, it's got that stupid .NET framework 4 Installer that sets your computer in infinite reboot if you have the latest version (CtrlAltDel end process DotNetsomething or other and it stops it). Second no Controller support (not a deal breaker but, boo. Third, Strange graphics, bizarre effects, just unpleasant weirdness. Fourth Lots of control issues, character catching on geometry and the like, Fifth just kind of throws you in without a proper explanation of it's mechanics, some of which are rather obtuse. Also I'm running a pretty decent rig with a GTX 750 and this game, while not falling apart or anything, isn't very smooth, nor is it good looking enough to justify it's hiccups. Needs work,

It started out promising. Not enough weapons so you end up fighting superior monsters with just a flashlight. Poor game planning. AI enemies will follow you around no matter how fast and far you run and hide they always run straight to you. Spent the first five minutes trying to find a red key card using only my flashlight against 20 enemies, there was a gun but it ran out of ammo quickly with no ammo in sight and died. Flashlight moves around so much it made me dizzy and vision is constantly blurred by overuse of weird membrane type bubble around you. Having a flashlight and clear FOV is hard enough for a dungeon scenario but add all the extra crap on top and it's unenjoyable. Game has promise but it's not fun and almost painful to try and play in those conditions. I play games to have fun not squint and run around a dark and blurry rooms trying to fight off slashers with a flashlight. Don't waste your money. Not worth the current price. Immediately uninstalled.

You won't believe me if I tell you. So go buy it and experience it.
The Lord himself came to me at night and touched me inapproprietely with the Epiphany. I saw the way so clearly. I saw our destiny. We must buy Cargo 3 and play it till the end of our lives.
This is the work of a true genius. A perfect emerald of magnificence. Emancipating light or pure knowledge. You can't comprehend this noble phenomenon, but you can let it in your heart and gates of Paradise will be open wide for you. 420/10

Good Game Vinci Games!
Graphics and monsters are what I like most here. Graphical effects are huge advantage of this game, especially lights. Really scary atmosphere due to amazing sounds. Like weapons. I will definitely continue playing. For future, please optimize it a bit and fix few minor gameplay issues - will be cool.
