An exciting game to play which feels like a whole new adventure each time you play.
While the resource collection is quite motivating and delivers a tense experience, the shooter shows some flaws and the pay-to-win option is simply aggravating.

Hidden gem. Very underrated. Not for people who can't handle being at a disadvantage as a new player. It has some flaws of course but I haven't had a game keep me playing as long as Vigor has in a long time and it's free to play so it deserves a 10. $10 and a little planning and you can easily get every season/legacy season.

Good game! There are minor flaws. But I have played on Xbox for over 300 hours and I still love this game! Recommend to try

Vigor is another game that comes to join the Survival genre, trying to keep us in front of our TVs for several hours.
Vigor is a looter-shooter experience that presents a strong form in its post-looting part, but when it comes to action moments, the game lacks required challenge due to its unbalanced design. Vigor will worth playing if the developer attempts to add more new content to the game.
From someone who has experienced the best and worst of Vigor, just take my advice, and only play in a team with someone you know… and trust! Because outside of that comradery Vigor is very hit and miss.
With a little more tweaking and game modes, Vigor really could have been the next big free-to-play title.
There is no fun in waiting six hours to have the opportunity to produce a weapon which, however, will require a project and materials; there is no greater nervousness than being killed to get a poor gun removed and there is nothing more tedious than an obsolete and redundant system of microtransactions.
I really enjoy the game play. Pretty easy to get going, get an ok gun, and put up a fight against others. Wanna run and gun? Go for it. Wanna loot quietly and get the hell out? Done. So far, the games biggest weakness? The servers, holy crap batman. Literally lost dozens of valuable guns and loot to dropped servers. Virtually makes the gun unplayable some times. Other then that, it's a nice break from Warzone :).

this game had a very strong start. all elements that made it good had been there when it came out for open play testing in 2018. since then, not much had been added aside from micro transactions and a few new maps. the map design and asthetics of this game are exeptional. vigor is one of the best looking games of its time, and still today is one of the best looking games aviable on xbox. the gameplay was buggy and janky at the start, some of which has been fixed. gun balancing is absoluteley horrible and has only been made worse with every consecutive update. i have spend 4200 hours in this game, so two hours every day for the last 5 years. what kept my in the game for so long was an idea of where it could go. not a lot was needed to make this a game of the decade, but that was never added. ultimately i had to admit to myself that all this is is a good looking but cheaply made tarkov clone with the singular goal of making money. is it fun to play? yes absolutely. the game looks amazing, gameplay is hard and punishing, there is a strong skillcurve to the gameplay. but there is nowhere to go. there are a lot of cosmetics in the game, every single one of which comes with a pricetag, so prepare your wallet if you dont want to be a greencoat for the rest of your time, or try for one of the two outfits that can be gained via shootout and elimination crates. shelter building is nice, but not worth the effort. there is no noteworthy player interaction aside from a discord server and the ability to shoot each other. it should also be said that pricing is inconsistent. the same jacket can cost you 5€ one day, and then be on discount for 7€ so do keep that in mind. seasons were an interesting concept, but with legacy seasons there is no time pressure on them. and all season cosmetics can be bought in the shop after the season is over, so there is no "item prestige" as there would be in similar games. there is no rarity balancing, even though guns are colorgraded in rarity grades. gold and purple guns are the most common guns in the game, and even though they are referred to as the rarest, are actuallly the easiest to get from the environment. blue guns are the hardest to get usually, but even they are commonly found. your stash will quickly overflow, so one good thing is that there is no maximum cap of how may guns you hoard. i had 11000 guns, at least 100 of each, before i turned them all into resources and uninstalled the game.
in short.
visually it is exceptional. one of the most beautifull games i have ever played
gameplay is hard, punishing, now sort of fixed, and also very pointless. you are playing towards nothing and even though your loadout disapears when you die, there are few loadouts that you could not regain in 1-2 rounds of looting.
the microtransactions are some of the most annoying ones i have ever seen in any game.
sometimes i install it to look at it, but then i uninstall it again because i dont want to play it.
this game had an ambitious start and then did nothing with it.
5/10 i love it, dont play it, and dont buy anything so that you dont encourage bohemia to think
that they should do this with any of their other games too.

Ive given the game two installs and that's two uninstalls. This game just isn't fun at all. Everyone plays like a wimp, and despite Vigor's recent attempts to bombard camping enemies, it doesn't help anything. The game looks good for a free game. The gun control in this game is HORRIBLE. It's impossible to control your gun no matter what stance you're doing, but everyone can get an easy headshot behind your back. I heard the recoil wasn't like this a year or so ago, and I wish it stayed that way. I don't expect Vigor to improve at all during its lifespan. I don't recommend this game. Get Escape from Tarkov instead.

Not finnished and it feels like fortnite but with real guns and slower. At least Fortnite did a good job on animations. This crap feels like a game developed in 2010. Too basic and stiff gameplay.

Summary 1991. The nuclear war is over. Central Europe is devastated, Norway has become the last stand. You start as a nameless outlander, but who will you become? No time for uncertainty. Turn a shelter into your home. Fight, run or hide. Take risks, claim rewards, and survive this cut-throat experience.
