Early Access Review
***Keep in mind I'm doing this review not long after its launch in "X-Treme Early Access"***

As to be expected from a game released with such a quick development time and in early access, it has its flaws:
-Some buildings are untextured, a few are completely empty. (Which does not affect gameplay much, as some of these untextured buildings still have decent loot inside!)
-Some prize boxes are glitched and give you nothing upon opening them. (This is a very small minority of prize boxes)
-Squads and Female Characters both have yet to be implemented.

That being said however, I adore this game. 9/10.
Please don't be one of those people who says "Oh buh duh it's a copy of Fortnite", because if you are not only are you wrong, you're a moron.

(Not to mention if we want to play the who-coppied-who game, Fortnite is far from original :) )

This game has a few similarities with Fortnite, but it is far from a direct clone:
-They are both battle royale games.
-They both offer "Chests" or in this case "Prize Boxes" to obtain loot.
-Last One/Duo/Group standing wins.

So yes, they have similarities, but they end about there.
This game offers a sort of progression system, that being the money and Offshore Bank Account, that being said however this progression system does not much reward those who have played longer, except with better cosmetics.
I love that most cosmetics (Except Founders Pack Items) are availible through in-game purchase using said money.
I personally love the money system as it does many things for the game:
-It adds a level of risk to every game, do I deposit my $2,500 or do I keep it till the end of the game and have a chance of doubling it if I win.
-It adds another reason to explore places, besides more weapons.
-You can use said money to buy weapons and armour if none others are around or you simply want that $3,500 Dragonov, which you could say offers an unfair advantage to long term players, but I have yet to see this become a problem as no weapons are "Broken" or "Unbalanced", with some skill and a little luck, you can win against even the best weapons.

This money goes hand-in-hand with the "GameShow" vibe, and also makes the various machines you can find in game much more interesting
-As I mentioned before, you can find vending machines with decent --> the absolute best weapons or armour / equipment
-You can recycle things you no longer want for a little extra cash

Back to the "GameShow" vibe I mentioned, I find it to be incredibly fun and different:
-Various dynamic events such as bike races or "Prize Wheel" drops and even "Cash Drop"s make each game different and reward the player differently for taking a risk and going for those events with better armour,weapons or just more cash!
-Everything has a bright and fun color (Aside from the gray, untextured builings)

To summarize, I love this game and truly hope it gets the development and polishing it deserves. 9/10
(Shoutout to Boss Key for putting this game together in about 5 months, not only is that a very VERY short development time, but PUBG has had much longer and yet I still lag / glitch out much more in that game than on this one!)
