Waste of money. The worst game SI has made in my time playing their games (20 odd years).
The UI is atrocious. It feels like a mobile game. Under the hood you can tell it’s got huge potential, the match engine is decent, it’s not all bad.
However, it doesn’t feel like a sandbox anymore. It doesn’t feel like that “football snow globe” you love in an FM game. You feel disconnected from the world. It’s irritating and unintuitive to view the leagues, to view player stats in the leagues, to view a player career history, almost every part of the UI absolutely horrendous.

Save yourself some money. Don’t buy it. Wait until they fix it or god forbid the next one. The game just has the soul and life sucked out of it. It feels like it was made by a corporate CEO.

Schedule 1 has an addictive gameplay loop, and considering it’s still in production this developer has struck gold with what he’s made. It’s still a bit rough around the edges but it’s incredibly satisfying to play. For the price it’s well worth it. Sensational release that still has massive potential with future work being made on it. You lose time playing this, it just sucks you in.

Picked this up on sale and it was worth the price.
Can take a good few hours to get the mechanics and properly get into the game.
If you play it and solve a crime or two it will suck you in and take hours of your time. Creative ideas, but still a rough diamond. Plenty of bugs still so far, some of the side investigations you find on cafe notice boards are bugged. It has a fair bit of slow down and frame rate lags on the bigger cities.
The evidence board is a great mechanic. Plenty of atmosphere. I just wish little things were better, like the interaction between you and the enforcers, and general interaction with the public in the game is pretty bare bones.
Get this if you want an interesting time solving murders and can put up with some minor negatives.

Hell Let Loose can be the most cinematic and organic shooter you've played. The scenarios that play out feel like scripted events, and you'll stop yourself and wonder if any other shooter has given you movie like experiences from non scripted gameplay.

However, this is not to say it is a perfect game. It is not. The collision detection is god awful and you'll get stuck on multiple objects every hour or so, sometimes being killed because of said rough edges. When communication isn't used properly, and you have a commander who is perfectly happy to send you like lemmings into oncoming machine gun fire, it is not at it's best.
The optimisation isn't great and with good hardware often you'll find the frames choppy and the lag on the servers far from perfect.
The in-game tutorial is easily the worst I've ever seen and you'll see green, new players making a complete hash of things on a regular basis. You'll wonder if this could have been avoided with a better helping hand. I like to point out that being kind to these folk and showing them the way without being unkind is the way to go.

But when at least two members of the squad have mics and co-operation is used the game at the very least feels like a good multiplayer shooter. At the very most it will feel like the best WW2 shooter, and arguably the best shooter you've ever played.

Rough Diamond, 4/5.

Google how to run it on modern hardware, which is a breeze with a download or two. Then you'll be treated to one of the greatest experiences in gaming history.

I'd write a more in-depth review, but my fingers are augmented.

10/10

Mediocre gameplay is a minor fault and only adds to the psychological experience of the wonder that is the games story. One of the most thought provoking and certainly one of the best stories in video game history.
