REVIEW : Mr. Prepper (PS5)
In Mr. Prepper, it’s all about being ready. There is something not right, and you’re aware of it. The prospect of nuclear war exists, and you should plan for the worst. Fight for your escape and cope with the harsh regime in this survival manufacturing game.
Build a refuge beneath the land crust. Farms, conservatories, tools, and autos are examples of equipment and facilities that maintain you alive. You can barter with your colleagues, offering them what they want in exchange for what you want. Crankcase items and artefacts that you’ll be able to employ in atmospheric locations. Make a plan; something drastic is required. Meet fellow dissidents, assist them in their fight against regime by completing quests for them. Surprisingly, you’ve managed to outsmart the secret police.
Rejected Games created this survival adventure game, which was published by Ultimate Games. It’s a terrific game that blends crafting, exploration, and survival. It also features a cast of interesting characters as well as obnoxious government officials. It will challenge your patience and skill to plan as you grind for items and beg for luck.
Mr. Prepper is a man who reside in a state that was once renowned as the Land of freedom, but thanks to its incoming government, that has all changed. Otherwise, you will be pursued by the mysterious and all-powerful Bureau. Obey the President, keep in your zone, and love him. Mr. Prepper has made the decision to defy the odds and break away from his life’s illusion.
In a world where nuclear war is a possibility, you must tread carefully. After a period at her majesty’s pleasure, the titular hero comes home. The state’s law enforcement department is currently keeping an eye on him. Mr Prepper is driven to seek a brighter future by this, as well as the numerous dystopian constraints. He’ll have to break the law, search for prohibited goods, and organise his getaway with the aid of his strange neighbours.
Following your leaving prison, you’ve been on parole. This may not seem like a big deal, but it allows officials to freely snoop on you. They’ll come to your house, so you’ll have to rush around deleting and hiding unlawful behaviour. If you fail to hide your intentions or hide objects, their concerns will be aroused, and you may be arrested. If this happens, the game is done, therefore make sure you cover your tracks. Given that your average suburban house sits atop your upper underground bunker, this is a challenging task. You’ll need to grow food, build equipment, store illegal goods, and build your rocket here. None of this is very tough, but it does take time and effort.
This is the time when the grind enters . Every task demands extensive micromanagement, which slows down the process. Whether it’s a shortage of funds, stamina, nourishment, or preparedness, it’ll hold you back. Food, wood, metal, and other resources aren’t as hard to obtain by these days, as you can go on excursions to gather them. You can also barter for needs with your neighbours. This will cost you a fortune, but it would also help you establish a dealer reputation. In addition, the more exotic the things on offer, the closer your friendship will get. As a consequence, it’s vital later in the game when you’re trying to build your spaceship.
The emphasis on statistics in survival games is well-known. Mr. Prepper, on the other hand, is just absurd. The aforesaid grind is hampered by the inadequate and unequal stat system. Energy, preparedness, and food are the only three things that keep an eye on. You’d think it would be simple. Do not be fooled! The hero is either always starving or always tired. His preparedness suffers as a result, and the action grinds to a standstill. Unfortunately, each work saps your life force, and you invest extra time feeling hungry than building your bunker.
This takes away from the game’s construction aspect while also making it monotonous. Instead of being amusing, interesting, and a strategic challenge, it quickly becomes repetitive. It’s a shame, considering it has so much potential. As a result, I couldn’t play it for lengthy periods of time without becoming frustrated. If the developers had adopted a more balanced approach, Mr Prepper would have been a lot better.
