Good: This game was a graphical masterpiece, gore, zombie designs, etc it was all amazing
Bad: Dev updates prioritising the utmost strangest things over adding proper campaigns, new maps etc
Ugly: Servers, Matchmaking, inability to co-op pve.

Final Thoughts: It is baffling that games such as these exist and that developers continue to be clueless about what happens when there is no people to populate their servers hence why we substitute with pve modes and solo/co-op experiences.

Recommendations: Play literally any other first person shooter there are loads to choose from, this game is dated not graphically but mechanically (Additionally headshots of enemies has that weird splash sound? it kinda ruins headshot feedback)

Good: It has potential, it's rather nice visually and the enemies are pretty interesting.
Bad: Clunky, interface is a bit much and the mechanics can quickly feel overwhelming and dated.
Ugly: Loot leaves a hell of a lot to be desired, this game gets boring extremely fast, hit detection can also be absolutely awful at times, the weird seasonal server stuff (which also means your stuff gets wiped is rust levels of awful)

A great idea for a game but the building aspect was un-needed it would have had more potential being a looter shooter like Mass effect, division 2 and so on, considering building feels tacked on.

Recommendation: If you want to scratch the itch Just purchase Division 2, or any tom clancy title, Outriders, Destiny even, Heck The first descendant is essentially free or even warframe.

Classic mode: PVPVE, Not really any intelligent placing of players, enemies can ignore hits, combat feels weighty which is nice its just the hit connection is floaty, Losing equipped items makes little sense given the games early stages, especially solo players dropped into an area with multiple werewolves.

No PVE mode for some chill coop dungeon delving (I think I know why) Given how in depth the area feels it very much is an illusion and if there was no PVP aspect the entirety of the map would be searched and the game would be far more boring than it already is.

Other game modes are pointless, 3v3 or Mythril order which is pointless sat in lobby for a long time waiting (Why no option to force start?)

What can I say, for the short time I played it i'm sure in a party it would be fun but solo it didn't grab me, but for some it will be enjoyable.

Oh and you need to escape out of portals to escape the level (Kind of a stale mechanic these days, maybe add portals for safe escape and those who stay get better rewards but must escape from the physical location entrance/exit)

So I have to give it a Yes or a No because steam doesn't allow for an in between, in short no, I wouldn't recommend it in its current state however if the developers work on it and add some more QOL (Quality of Life) and larger changes to ensure longevity for both PVP and PVE aspects because lets face it players aren't always going to be around and there needs to be something to back the game up for the lul periods, should the day arrive I have no issue returning to re-review and stay a little longer.

For now If I don't have fun on initial contact it sets the tone and feel for the longer immersive play and these days I really haven't the time to stick around for the hour mark where this becomes fun (for me)

A little too much, with the diplomacy, star bases with full platforms that are upgraded being about as useful as a stain on the inside of a taco bell speed eating champions underwear, to the perplexing research system put in place, I'm lagging behind because these fools choose not to research new ships?

I love my 4X games but this is a bloated pregnant whale, pretty lousy when it comes to fun because it is packed full of useless stuff, you cannot simply continue to add new dlc that cracks open more complex systems while not addressing outdated ones, it is just stuff piled on stuff piled on stuff.

Maybe more effort should have gone into meaningful racial differences and ship designs because lets be honest these are pretty lazy, not even going to buy that ridiculous dlc with a cube that eats suns.

And combat, yeesh guys slow it down consolidate more When a battle happens I enjoy watching my large fleets but I cannot see a thing, also touching on that, I don't appreciate the weapon fx being the same for all races.

Quite frankly it feels like they designed a game for them and their friends to play and whoever else gets it is a long for the ride, issue comes in when the developers approach said things like a hyperactive puppy on illicit substances, Less stuff! More consolidation, clean it up, put more effort into faction ship designs and ship behaviour, throw out or merge the useless outdated stuff.

Heck after playing this mess I'm going to return to Endless place 2 or Total war series, those are developers that understand the balancing needed between, unique look, racial differences, Clean diplomacy.

Your resources should never be so large it needs a drop down section to view the rest of them.
Adopt the phrase 'Keep it simple stupid' because it refers to simplicity within complexity.

Honestly commend anyone that figures this out and has fun but people cannot be sitting for hours trying to get a handle on things only for a small fleet to run through your sector and carve a path because supposed star bases that have so many upgrades are literally pointless, this is why many games keep things like I stated above.

30-40 minutes to iron out growing pains and get a handle that way on the 2 hour mark, get up and stretch and come back, not spend several hours stretching coming back, going away and coming back to still have to have really no clue what is going on.

Sorry but its a nope from me and judging from the dlc ratings mixed is not good.

The fps and battle flow (for me) has been fixed and is a lot more smooth now.

Outposts and Forts - Still run into the issue of being taken over without needing take points (maybe look into changing AI behaviour within Outposts and major settlements)

DLC - Ogres DLC, I feel has taken too long before they received any love what so ever.
- Still no Norsca focused dlc or flc for TWW2 faction that was also a preorder for TWW2.
- No gore, unless you want to buy a dlc, just make it a checkmark devs.

Campaign - Are fun, Better than TWW2.

Immortal Empire - Is fun, Definitely where a lot of my time is spent.

Units - Are okay, a lot of reskins but now its a lot less in your face with so many factions it doesn't make you feel like to dropped money for colors.

Final Thoughts - If you are jumping in TWW3 yes the dlc will feel like an uppercut to your wallet, If you played wince TWW1 not so much, I think people forget that these factions were part of previous games and are receiving changes as the game progresses to its finale.

Be glad they didn't charge to twice for each TWW game that was released or worse they didn't add them at all (Games have done that before)
Aside from the Shadows of Change dlc Debacle where they charged more for less only to come back to it and fill it with a proper amount of content later for 'Free' I think its come a long way, and the devs now know that fans will support if you are fair, you don't need to nickle and dime.

P.S - Sims makes you pay for its DLCs for each game but people still love that game but this game is not allowed to have players pay for previous game dlc to use in the present game (Like warframe Excalibur prime was for founders these factions are for early supporters that made this game possible)

It was a fun game, it really was, unfortunately the problem comes when you put other people in the mix, and the combination of those who are blatantly racist, swear at you or just call you bad for things outside of your control, but the minute you respond to these people who apparently just bait you out into a reply just to report you, you get hit with a ban, without warning.

The appeal process is purposefully difficult, especially when you login with steam and you go to the website and it wants this other login information, you are directed from the game site to an FAQ that is managed by someone with a bad attitude and apparently trigger happy to ban anyone for the slightest micro aggression

It just ruins the overall fun, how many times have I reported those for being outright bad sports yet I find them not even a day later still doing it.

At times like these I feel blessed that DBD Developers made the distinction between Reportable and Bannable offences.

It's like you can't even play a role and have some good fun with people without being reported and banned if someone gets offended, meanwhile my habits had never changed with my interactions and I've had some amazing and fun sessions with people.

It is a really fun game, like 'honey I shrunk the kids' Those spiders are horrifying but I think full arachnophobia mode makes them worse XD Floating polygons are the stuff of nightmares.
I can only really post a quick review however since I have not played for a long time and I was unable to play co-op, something strange happening with multiplayer.

After playing it for awhile, that game is fantastic, haunting, manifestations everything is done really well, the biggest letdown is the player-base, from twitch.tv try hards kicking anyone whose not at their level or a part of their friend base but leaving the server on public to just random players dropping in and acting like fools, or just constantly being kicked for no reason.

The game is amazing but its players, find a good group or your friends or you'll never enter a game.
This is AU region though, not sure how Other regions are.
Devs you gotta find some way to stop the kicking spam these others do.
I can recommend it now, but make sure you find a good group to play with.

Note for devs: Allow ghosts to only hunt an kill players when sanity has dropped to 0, this means players only have one extra life with sanity pills before the ghost can hunt them but have the ghost to do jump-scares, manifestations, etc to reduce sanity faster.

It is fun but I feel the ghost hunts and kills a little too fast and it negates the sanity, it would also allow us to set up like a forward station like on the ghost hunting shows.
This could allow you to set up matches in two phases.
Phase 1 identify and find ghost.
Phase 2 be the other crew that goes in and cleanses the area but have the ghost more aggressive then.

Amazing game anyway, It has been so long since a game and literally filled me with dread and I love it!

It has been how many years now and this game is still so amazing, packed with perfect mods it is just fantastic the way gunships strafe and fire, fighters have dogfights in the sky and bombers tilt and increase speed for bombing runs, I wish there was a supreme commander 3.

So I first came to this game and spent 40 minutes trying to get into a game to which I refunded it, now I am back and have played so many hours I can honestly say I don't need to play anymore hours of this Terrible game.

I mean really you build something and it gets destroyed and you're killed all stuff gone start again. . . what backwards re**** thought that was a good idea? That serves to pi** players who aren't in big or huge clans off because they get raided offline, why bother getting into a confrontation with someone just wait until they sleep and it's a free platter for you ..|.. to this game, remember to be polite as well? No! people need to know without any sugar coating the severity at which this game is terrible.

Oh and god forbid you are wounded you will turn your speakers off because this noise is FU***** ANNOYING as hell! and with no button to just give up to respawn so you don't need to listen to that crap. And My god the female voice, are we taking the pi** out of the buyers of this? That sounds like a man with a pitch shift filter put on him, maybe just stick to texturing male genatalia guys you seem pretty enthralled with that.

Also no character creation? Even a basic one would do but no, we don't any, all we get is a male or female bald and nude. Like a pink or brown (depending on nationality of character) BLOB with features, what are you talking about careful of radiation sickness? WITH EVERYONE BALD COMPLETELY IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE HAS IT ALREADY!

Yeah at parts the game is good and it's fun but solo don't bother the servers I have been on players prey on the newcomers and not because you're a threat but because they can and it's fun. A complete Toxic playerbase from what I see.

So Toxic playerbase, lose all your stuff on dying, sleeping or online. . . No creator, voice acting is horrible, that annoying screaming on being wounded as a way to alert everyone to loot you, and the only way to mark your home is with a map? this is the most ridiculous game mechanics ever.

Oh yeah players of ARK Survival evolved, no plant fibers so don't bother trying to press e on small trees, bushes or grass because apparently only Hemp plants can be harvested (Wow Devs. . . WOW) Also no thatch? you know that broken down wood fibers? No berry bushes? Yes I'm aware it's an Alpha but come on, focus more on content rather than removing things players enjoyed before.

At $19.99 Hell no! Maybe $10.00 or $7.00. Why? Because you pay a little more and you can get Ark, The forest, Eden Star, Or that other space game that allows you to tame alien life, What I'm getting at is the theme is different but you get more for your money and with a less Toxic playerbase and a more intelligent Process implemented into the Game.

It's hard but it's just not worth it and I saw it's early reviews they were mostly negative then they were mixed now positive but I bet for people to placed the recent reviews are either experiencing buyers remorse or have found fun in a clan or aren't in a server and have found a server where all players are ******** Not asking for everyone to be friends but hunting new players and saying day one of rust and then day two he apparently has all this stuff in your trailers because it had taken me 3 days to get enough clothing, and even being indoors doesn't decrease how cold you are it's all for show and protection building is and not for much else.
