Has a cheater problem, with the occasional cheater or rat getting thrown into PVE lobbies. One just abuses the fact that everyone is peaceful while the other one is using either just walls or straight up aim hack + walls.

Agression Based Match Making also is resetting every other patch, causing you to randomly getting thrown in with KOS call of duty kids, after being in care bear lobbies previously, making it a great opportunity to loose either all your equipment, again, or to having to stay in said PVP lobbies if you even dare to fight back.

If you want a PVP game, buy it. Then again ... why bother doing Arc Raiders if you just want some extraction shooter? there is better ones out there for that

If you want less cheaters, go get Counter Strike 2. Otherwise this is a neat shooter, for when you are in single player or a bulk, with horribly balanced maps for certain visual spectacle and, as said, cheaters. Like, there won't be a single game where you are not asking yourself whether if someone in the match cheated but literally know that they cheated, down to the most obvious aim hacker, you will find it here, with people hitting more headshots in a single gunstrike than the biggest E-Sports veterans could ever have done.

It is Far Cry in an Avatar Skin -- AKA: It is what you can expect.
If you enjoyed playing any Far Cry and enjoy the Avatar IP, go buy it.

Different enough from factorio to be standing on it's own shoulders, yet the old, well known formular.

Buy it if you like factorio or satisfactory or another factory game
Also buy it if you never played a factory game

I usually do not play CRPGs... soooooo .... go and buy it

3 out of 5 Games are guaranteed to contain a hacker.

Steam Remote Play is not working thanks to EA shinanigans (most likely) and the game crashing on screensize change

----

Additionally, running local with two controllers is not working either. One of them always behaves as if there is connection issues (or more likely: The game mixes up keyboard and joystick mode every frame, causing the movements to jitter or halt entirely)

Game is good for one exception: PSN.
So if you are actually not caring about your data being protected, then spin up a PSN account, create a new password (!DO NOT REUSE!) and for whatever is holy to you; NEVER add your payment options. And possibly put a sticker in front of your camera.

Other then that, lets leave the following here:
April 2011: Hackers Access Personal Data of 77 Million Sony PlayStation Network Users
May 2011: Personal Details on 25 Million Sony Online Entertainment Customers Stolen
June 2011: Sony Pictures Website Hacked, Exposing One Million Accounts
November 2014: Hackers Steal 100 Terabytes of Data from Sony Pictures
August 2017: Hacker Group Accesses Sony Social Media Accounts
September 2023: Sony Investigates Alleged Hack
October 2023: Sony Notifies Employees of Data Breach

Prediction: September 2024, Sony PSN down, hackers steal data of 100 Million users.

Assuming you have mates to play with or, given the F2P launch works out in the long term, this is a clear win regarding the genre it plays in, being a fun game with rather brutal but honest mechanics
