The story, map design, game length and game difficulty all seem worse on this title in comparison to The New Order. It's easier and has half the amount of chapters of The New Order, so you can easily complete in one session. The graphics and sound design are far superior, and unlocking FPS caused no issues for me unlike The New Order.

Although the game was worse than The New Order, it's still fun and worth playing.

The HDR issues from the The New Order persist in this title.

The story and gameplay are genuinely good. Enough weapon choices to suit different play styles. A good mix of easy and hard areas, and somewhat hard bosses. You don't have to recollect hidden collectibles if you die before an autosave, which is a nice QOL feature. The gunplay is fun, but nothing special.

A downside to this game is the 60FPS limit, but it can be unlocked with a mod. The mod introduces some minor issues that can be overlooked, but causes 7 soft-locks which require FPS to be locked again until the next autosave.

This game also has issues with HDR, but it only happens when you close the game and is fixed by turning HDR off then back on.

I've had more fun in the last week than I did in the entirety of my Tarkov playtime. Tarkov is better in a lot of ways, but this game is a hell of a lot more fun. It's a good mix of arcade, and realism.

Update: I found out the servers are 20Hz, and that's genuinely awful.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀definitely is a game

genuinely fun. A PvP gamemode would be sick.

The sort of game that makes 2 hours real time feels like 15 minutes.

If I had to describe this with one expression, it'd be 'meh'. It's not bad, I could definitely have fun, but at the same time it definitely wasn't what I was expecting given the price. Combat is laughably easy, even the robots (mini-bosses I guess?) could be killed relatively easily, when they could have been a brilliant challenge. The AI is basic, and even on the hard difficulty they'll aim bad at range. Bushes are kind of OP, making you almost a god. Without the inventory upgrade, you'll find yourself with *just* enough loot to last until you find more. Grenades are absolutely cracked, which I guess is good for realism but makes them OP in the game. There is a very small loot pool, including weapons, so putting some loot behind a 20.99 paywall seems a little insulting with the 44.99 price tag the game has. The weapons DOF effect is also bloody awful, so many times I'm peeking next to cover and it focuses on the cover and not the enemy. The thrall could've been such a good mini-boss, but they just walk at you slowly and do nothing.

The world looks beautiful, and it runs really well. The story seems okay, you'll find yourself wondering who to trust. Crafting is nothing special, works like most games and has no issues. The world may not be huge, but it makes up for it in personality. The weapon models and animations are well done.

On a sale, it could be a good game to pick up. It's still objectively a fun game.

Chill, and good to relax on between competitive games. Only downsides are that it can be very grindy, and the launcher plays music (pet hate of mine).

Karlach is an absolute baddie.

This is definitely a game.
