A 16 year old's casino, 20 year old's Wall Street, 35 year old's "business" washing machine.

New smoke's cool too.

Pros
-Casual take on Tarkov with a lot of QoL for those that found it too hardcore to enjoy and stay competitive.
-More of an emphasis on teamplay, Very easy to find squads.
-Easier to run/ better optimisation.
-Didn't sell you a $180 version of the game and then try to steal back what was included in it (Battlestate BTW)

Cons
-Being F2P, not hard to see it overrun by cheaters in near future.
-Even with low ping pref toggled, sometimes will put you in asian servers at slow hours
-Tencent likes to put bots disguised as players in low rank lobbies in some of their games, feels like the case here

Overall fun game, enjoy playing it. Expected a lot more paywall nonsense on things like stash space that surprisingly isn't an issue. China's developers are starting to make genuinely fun and polished games. Original ideas? Not quite. Do I care while I'm playing and having fun? No.

When western devs are putting out barely finished 100$ games while having shockingly more micro-transactions in them than an actually well made F2P chinese mobile game port, it makes me wonder how much market share they will lose to them in the next few years.

Mecca for those with a borderline autistic admiration for war machines. ✅
Russian bias ✅
Painful F2P grind ✅
Dev greed justified by player count ✅
Bad game ❌

Despite it's flaws at the end of the day it's a great game that scratches an itch, just don't jump in expecting an easy path to jets or top tier tanks. However every vehicle tier has a historical and gameplay niche you will come to appreciate and return to after you enjoy top tier for a while.

Settle in, slow down and smell the roses.
You will not have fun and will burn out if you get top tier tunnel vision. Unless you pull out your wallet. 😉

Also i think having a feature to replace in-game music with internet radio stations of your choice was a goat idea. Having "danger zone" come on randomly while you're flying an f-14 just ramps the experience up to 11.
