Review: Playability

Apparently the developers' imagination has become a little tight lately. Or life has brought them to such a point that they decided to show the suffering of poor Russian citizens who lost their jobs. And they decided to make humor on this basis and present everything in rosy color.

Nevertheless, the presence of a small amount of humor allows you to keep the game afloat and not send it to the landfill of unnecessary things. The plot is so-so, the controls are the same, there are no levels at all - you are looking for a fifth corner in one room.

Lately, it has become unclear to what audience such a huge number of second-rate games are being released; have the publishers really decided to take us poor gamers not in quality but in quantity?

Review: Game Graphics

The graphics were at least a little pleasing. Even if the character models are unsightly and scary, even if the levels are too linear and closed, the detail of the game’s models is still quite good. It’s also a shame to complain about the special effects, but it could have been better.

This is where all the charms of the game are exhausted. Even if our domestic developers have learned to sculpt more or less modern graphics for games, but as for the rest, it’s time for them to learn to read fiction, and not rip the plot off fences and stupid comedy TV shows.

Review: Resource-intensive game

For a comfortable game, you will need a dual-core Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor and 2 gigabytes of RAM..

All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality by the Fraps program in the most resource-intensive part of the game.

We tested the lower price segment video cards at a resolution of 1024x768, we tested the mid-price range video cards at a resolution of 1280x1024, and we tested the upper price range video cards at a resolution of 1680x1050.

Testing at maximum Low End quality settings at 1024x768 resolution

Despite the low cost of the project, the video cards bend very, very significantly.

Testing at maximum quality settings Midle End at 1280x1024 resolution

 

Younger models in this category also experience slight difficulties.

Testing at maximum High End quality settings at 1680x1050 resolution

In general, we can conclude that the performance of video cards between ATI and Nvidia depends on the position they occupy in the price segment. But in the mid-range, ATI cards look more attractive.

Conclusion: If you are tired of everything and everyone and want stupidity, then Patriot is exactly what you need. And if not, then let him pass by without a twinge of conscience.
