Was hoping for a VRChat alternative, but the system leaves a lot to be desired, and seems to cater mainly to the VRC furries. Figured as much from the images, but there's a lot more variety in those sorts of public avatars than there is simple human avatars. To each their own, but I won't bother with this any further.

Kind of had some expectations that they were going to do something interesting but it's just a reskin of a lot of prior things. It doesn't really add anything of note. Wow, new genocidal civic, how fun and exciting and oh wait, no it's just a repack of the usual vanilla stuff. I don't really care so much about AI usage as long as it's done tastefully, which I haven't really noticed anything aside from the cover. I just wish more thought was done into the scientific implications of "Species that exists at an extremely high temperature compared to our world" instead of "Oh well they're actually just living in the caves like Minecraft Steve or something because it's cooler down there."

They made the loading screen look terrible and pay-walled the nicer original loading screen.

Update: They have since banned one of my friends for client modifications. The individual in question doesn't even know how to log into their email half the time but now has little way to appeal it. The review will continue to be negative until this unjust ban is revoked.

Great game, interesting story, wish more were like this, though the engine could use some work. Not sure if it's due to all of the smoke rounds but playing for more than a few hours at a time causes the game to really lag badly. Not sure what's up with that.

Went to play this game again after not touching it for a year, controls are ♥♥♥♥♥♥, it's a simple point and click game and the character can get bugged out and sit there until some sort of event happens, which is never guaranteed on some days.

Gameplay is fun, the writing is annoying. Just let me salvage ships.

Story's pretty pleasant, though it doesn't really punish you for making decisions like some other games would, but it also doesn't arbitrarily punish you for making decisions for the sake of maintaining the story. The only issue I came across was a loading bug where it would say something along the lines of "This line is blank" and the scene not loading properly, requiring me to reload to the last autosave. It would fix it, though it should be fixed already as this probably occurs mostly after the first two chapters.

The game is alright, it's fairly balanced, if not very lenient for an MMO with the content that's within it. The amount of currencies is annoying, but it's workable.

It's hard to take this game seriously when the first thing that happens within the first decade of the game is two million Rajputs migrating to Canada and Australia. Hardly an economic simulator, let alone a social simulator.

Game is literally unplayable until the devs fix the browser issues.

Update: Game is now unplayable due to the latency issues and its involvement with the physics. Everything rubberbands so inconsistently that vehicle gameplay is impossible. You should've just waited to release UE5 when it was finished and communicated the change to the server hosts, but you didn't, because you do not care about the player experience, just milking the new players who won't know any better.

In addition, I would avoid this game for the time being with the recent update, as many new players are joining. This alone is not an issue, but everyone new just wants to rambo and not even listen to instruction from their squad leaders, or in worse situations they'll take over squad lead roles and hardly communicate with their squads and even on occasion take commander assets and ultimately waste them. Servers like Riplomacy are ripe with this sort of problem where many individuals are petty, will intentionally strike out at you to give themselves a justification to not work with you and then pat themselves on the back when the match is lost due to their own incompetence. It's ridiculous and these same problems plagued Squad '44 and it's only going to ruin all the good of the game as people no longer wish to dedicate the time to garner these stupid "commendation tokens" when the people who are actually instrumental for victory are hardly at all getting any sort of commendation. You can simply farm them from your friends.
