As a fan with over 1.5k hours in Op Flashpoint CWC/Resistance and Arma 1/2/3, I have to recommend this title based mostly on the fan boy bias.

Each title when they released caused a bit of euphoria and surrealism that always took a long while to wear off. From the OFP demo, to the alpha release of Arma 3 back in like 2013.

Reforger is no different. The graphics amaze me. The framerate is butter smooth. The general feeling of unit handling (movement, jumping, climbing) feels real.

This being said, it is very obviously pre-alpha.. there are visual glitches, freezes, and I haven't been able to join a server yet (sync messed up before initial launch, add 2 hrs to this review time) due to the same issue 75% of the playerbase has. There's also not a lot of content here yet. 3 factions, about 9 units /faction, 6 vehicles for 2 factions, and a few basic assets. Also the icons in the inventory remind me of dead matter's laughably low quality pictures.

Finally, I'd just like to point out that even though this is bare bones, there is 12 months of guaranteed support for this. That means more features, units, improvements, etc. BI has always taken care of its players, and I don't see anything here that suggests otherwise. So for the moment I'm rating this recommended because of the other side of people that expect a finished playable product when the build is v.09.x
