HONEST ACTUAL REVIEW (NOT CRYING ABOUT PERFORMANCE)

My rating: 8.8/10

Okay so before everyone goes to the reviews and see's all the negatives about crashing and server issues and lag. REMEMBER PEOPLE, This is day 1 of EARLY ACCESS. The dev's have already pushed a Hot fix withing the first 12 hours of release, Which shows how hard at work they are. YES the game needs some optimization and fixes, Lots of beefy rigs have issues and stutters, However they have posted a temporary fix for increasing fps and performance, Currently FXR is the way to go, even for nvidia card users FXR offers the ability to use frame generation AI, which is only something the new 4000 series nvidia cards can use, So unless you are using a 4000 series use FXR.

GAMEPLAY
Overall the game play itself is very fun and challenging. Lots of places to visit and sights to see, and tons of enemies to engage with. The farther you go from your FOB the better the loot you will come across, Tons of tunnel systems and heavy loot areas to find. Guns have a great amount of customization for early access and playing with a squad of friends really can get you lost in game play for hours. Lots of ammo and attachments to be found or earned. Gun play itself feels very satisfying and the reload and weapon animations feel crispy.

SERVER ISSUES
Yes currently servers aren't very stable, Lots of crashing and Que times can get annoying however considering the surprising early release these day one issues aren't nearly as bad as some AAA titles like battlefield 2042 or a lot of cod releases. They are working very hard to fix these 24/7 and if you can overlook server issues DAY 1 then don't purchase... That should be a given right now... When you buy an EARLY ACCESS TITLE you are agreeing that you know the game is still being worked on and will not run the best.

FINAL THOUGHTS
If you think the game is doing something special and want it to b great then 110% worth the buy!!! Any tarkov fans or ARMA fans will fit right in. For the base price of 44$ CAD they offer a ton of content for a great price. You also get access to PVE only with carried over progression from pvpve for the price of the game no extra $$ required (UNLIKE TARKOV AND THERE 250$ PRICE TAG)
