TLDR: With what I've played so far it's a fun game and story in the Stargate universe, despite it being a tactical stealth game which I usually don't enjoy. Give the game a shot and have fun.

Limited playtime review so far.

Not my usual type of game play style but between the Stargate theme and the company that made it I was willing to give this a shot. It's a fun stealth puzzle game where you need to sneak around instead of going guns blazing. Even this season in the series we're totally out numbered and gunned so the stealth approach isn't that crazy.

Would a X-Com style Stargate be great? Sure. Would a Stargate base management Exogate Initiative like game be great? Sure. Can we have a Stargate tactical stealth game like commandos? Sure, this is it and it's been fun so far.

This is not your Escape From Tarkov, Red Dead 2 level of graphics but does it need to be? It makes no difference to me, and this game does look quite good. If you're a fan of the publisher and their games you understand the usual graphical level of their games and you know you don't need all the super shiny graphics to have a fun, deep game.

Is it silly that bad guys don't hear their comrades getting taken out 2 feet away? Calling off a search 2 min after a comrade was killed? Is it silly that after an arbitrary distance they can't partially or fully see you? Of course it is, but this is a game. If it was made to total realist levels it would be almost impossible and would exclude many players from playing.

If you're a Stargate fan this is a fun adventure, so far, in the universe and I'm excited to see what comes next. Know what you're getting into and give the game a chance, especially if you want more content for the game, and maybe even more games in the franchise.

Oh, and yes the game is split in 2, 7 mission segments, the second coming later in the year, but it's included free with the current 7 you get. You can check the game details and confirm for yourself.

Thank you for the review! It was refreshing to read something else than "We expected Xcom and now we are angry". :) I added it to my wishlist almost 2 years ago knowing it was going to be stealth real time tactics game based on the Steam store description and pictures/videos. So I don't understand all the hate and confusion.. And I agree X-com style Stargate would be great too :)
