The Music slider does nothing, you lower the volume with the effects slider, thats all you need to know to have a pretty good idea of what kind of quality control and effort this game currently has

Conan the mighty pig embarks you in a magical and lenghty adventure where you will face spooky ghost jpgs, badly cropped gifs of 3d models with less than 50 polygons and a extremely carefully written plot with subtle references to the pain of existance that is this game
Pros:

-Amazing Parkour system that puts assasins creed to shame

-Incredible compressed looping mp3 single song soundtrack

-Probably some stolen assets here and there

-Amazing 800x600 res


Cons:
This isnt game of the year yet


(Seriously tho, dont buy this game, bad rats is probably a better game than this toxic waste)

In Depth Review
I will go over most of the features in the game so. some spoilers ahead i guess
CONS:

-Damage:
Enemies deal. a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of damage. and im not exagerating i had to switch to easy difficulty from the 1st chapter onwards because you can get downed half of your armor and your hp with a few bullets, specially shotguns which literally kill you in 1-2 shots. This gets sorta balanced i guess since you do damage too but this damage goes beyond guns. fast zombie leaps will deal as much as 40 dmg in a hit, same with zombine claws and zombies. Overall a very annoying feature that could be toned down a little.

-Lighting
Lighting in all the mod (with the exception of the 3rd chapter) is really awful. This is something i dont usually complain about since it not that many mods focus on detail, but because this mod focuses so much on adding little details and props everywhere i couldnt help but notice it, the lightmap scale is way too high causing some horrible shadows and lighting that look way off, Half life 2 itself had better shadows than most of this mod which is what impresses me the most.

-AI
Half the time citizens and rebels will either have a mega strategic mind and will follow you around everywhere in organized groups making your life hell or will just stand still and take the bullets while sorta shooting you. Its really inconsistant, i did notice this a lot more on the 1st chapter, the 2nd chapter was the opossite having citizens chasing you down across the apartments like a proffesional military raid which ended up becoming really annoying (see below why)

-Worst Chapter
DEAD TENENT is probably the most irritating chapter in the mod in my opinion, which is a shame since its also pretty detailed model wise, there's little bottles everywhere, lots of provisions and other furniture which does give the feeling this is a rebel outpost, it really could work if it werent for all the other faults. However i ended up having the worst time in it since it includes all the cons and some lack of guidance. The apartment section is filled to the limit with citizens with the smartest ai possible and a sniper aim that with the added insane damage becomes hellish to play, there's very few medkits in the area and even fewer armor batteries making it impossible to survive the 1 shot kills, the details in the area backfire since you have to move quickly and the details keep getting you stuck everywhere making you open to the trademark 1 shot kills of this mod, it got so bad i had to turn on godmode until i finished the area because i legit couldnt advance without loading a previous save with more hp and praying that i made it through to that area with a bit more health.
This chapter features a "stealth" moment where you have to cross an outpost filled with turrets however because of level design you dont know this is a thing you can do, you're given no sign that you are not supposed to be detected causing you to rush like you normally would and get killed again and again until you finally figure it out. Once you do figure it out its kinda neat i guess however it still had some issues, i kept getting detected randomly without anyone seeing me which was a bit annoying i guess. Overall this chapter is pretty bad, i suggest you turn on godmode for this one unless you wanna have a really bad time.

OTHER:
Despite what it says, the mod is not 600 mb. its 7 gb. which seems a bit excessive to me seeing how much of that space is just used on ep1 and ep2 assets.

I dont know why, but the subtitles didnt show up for me even tho i had them enabled. i tried messing around with it but nothing worked. This makes you miss out on a lot of dialog which sucks, Im pretty sure it was just me however but im putting it here anyways just so you know its a thing that can happen.

PROS:

-The Music:
Its really good, its ambiental when it needs to and its kick ass and cool when big action happens. It really brings the mod up a lot

-New Weapons:
They add the manhack deployer which can be pretty good at scouting areas and has some nice tricks to it, i liked that it has its own little dispenser. The AR2 now has a 80 bullet magazine which is fantastic (specially in the zombie levels later on) and you get a stunstick which is pretty much a little more powerful crowbar. nothing too big, but its a welcome addition.

-Details:
Despite using very little custom textures and mainly using assets from half life 2, ep1 and ep2. the mod has a lot of detail. there's lots of furniture everywhere, cables, debris and all sorts of stuff that adds to the experience.

-Best Chapter:
LOW is probably the best chapter in the mod. You take a break from the constant aimbot rebels and you get to fight zombies in the underground. this is the first and only chapter where most of the lighting is made out of dynamic lights which is pretty neat considering the underground theme. this gets played more on the stalker section, where you loose your flashlight ability and you have to rely on a stalker to guide you through the darkness along with some flares. kinda like a reverse situation of when you have to guide alyx in the tunnels in ep1. Its a neat concept. however its not a perfect chapter by any means, it still suffers from a lot of the faults of the mod in general. Zombies do lots of damage (around 40 or 50 depending on your armor) so getting near them is almost an assured dead which is ok, adds a bit of difficulty. however the problem comes with fast zombies and fast zombie torsos, fast zombie leaps do insane ammounts of damage and can instantkill the stalker you guide forcing you to start over again, they have a blackish skin making it harder to see them in the darkness, i legit couldnt see the torsos most of the time. There's a section where fast headcrabs constantly respawn and its really annoying, should be removed. Other than that this is the chapter i enjoyed myself the most. being able to kill loads of zombies like the badass im supposed to be in the mod.

-MISC BUGS:-
Here's a list of game breaking bugs i found so you can avoid them:

*There's a barnacle which tongue is invisible in the LOW chapter where you guide the stalker, try to find it and shoot it so you dont have to restart the section.

*On the BAD COP Chapter, you can use weapons dropped to block the lasers and advance early to other sections thus breaking the map and forcing you to load a previous save.

*In the First Chapter during the fence part where the rebels drop a canister on fire you can get stuck on one of the fence close to the wall when the canister explodes sometimes thus forcing you to load a previous save.

*In the DEAD TENENT Chapter, you can get randomly noticed by the rebels during the sneaking section for no reason, there is no way to avoid it, it just happens randomly good luck lol

*In the BAD COP Chapter in the beginning you can get stuck on the vent wind if you crouch jump, forcing you to bounce off the floor while crouching, its not really game breaking but when it happens you become super slow, forcing you to slowly bump your way to where the wind drops, if you somehow do it in the center this can take up to 30 seconds.

CONCLUSION:

Despite my mini rant in the cons section i recommend this game. lots of effort and love was put into the mod and it deserves attention.
If they nerfed a bit the insane damage and raised the hp of the stalker in the LOW Chapter this would really be an amazing mod, i just feel it needs a lot of bugfixing and some of the annoying features removed to be a really enjoyable experience.

Totally loved it, The game feels long and really interesting, the soundtrack is amazing and blends really well into the atmosphere of the game. The characters and writing is spectacular and the art style is gorgeous.

It also has a high replay value since there are multiple routes and endings you can do.

My only complain would be that it feels somewhat repetitive at times but this con really gets overshadowed by everything else so its just a minor detail.

One of the best games I've seen so far

9/10 Would definetely recommend.
