i like it.

to the developer, some notes during my first hour:

you shouldn't have to be zoomed into a planet to be able to colonize it

maybe make the screenshots gifs, took me a couple of seconds to realize that after clicking the colonize button i could place it by hovering (also maybe the button should change state to show that 'colony selection mode' is now active)

i pressed escape to enter the settings and it appears to have killed the tutorial, that shouldn't happen, it would also in general probably be nice to have a reasonably obvious way of restarting the tutorial at an appropriate step. i'm not sure if i missed some important info now, but i also didn't want to restart.

(i'm now rapidly running out of credits and not sure why, maybe the tutorial would have taught me...)

i hate that icons and ui have different border radii.

notifications should automatically dismiss themselves, i was confused by seeing several autosave notifications. or maybe collapse the notification bar partially after some time. when i right click the notification bar i expect all notifications to be dismissed.

when left clicking on a notification like 'new buildings unlocked', i want to know what was unlocked.

allow me to deconstruct a building from its menu.

why is the whole trade menu (button, entries) red?

i want to move around the research menu by dragging

Excellent stealth game. Can't comment on the combat or story.

A game full to the brim with rough edges and potential.

A premiere for Warhorse Studios.

A challenging combat system.

A world that is big enough to slightly intimidate you, but small enough to let you easily get to places.

A story that is not completely bogus.

All in all, not a bad game at all. Buy it on sale, though.

Do not buy this, if you don't appreciate tactical and immersive Arma 3 gameplay. If you just want to play on your wasteland & deathmatch servers then this is not worth the price. This is a great, great extension, but for the casual player, it's not worth the money. I very much enjoyed playing this as part of A3 Clan Operations, the wide range of new Weapons Clothing and Vehicles allowed for even better design of combat scenarios, and improved the gameplay significantly.

Bottom line is, this is worth the price, but only for those also using (and wanting/needing) everything that comes with this.

No hitreg. None. I'm serious. Tickrate is so low a CSGO demo will seem flawless in comparison.

Still, enjoyable. If there was a meh option, I'd take it. Since that isn't the case and I kind of want the devs to get off their arse and do something, I'll give this a not recommended. Subject to change, obviously.

Ok, so let me start this off by saying that while I very much enjoyed the time spent in-game, it is obvious that several core concepts (not even talking about features here) are missing. This game, as of right now, is a shallow pseudo-strategy game, with victory conditions that allow a playthrough in ~2 hours. But still, the wonderful map graphics and general design make up for it.
A somewhat easy fix for all of this would be to severely increase the difficulty of the victory conditions, and to add in more content, obviously. Content with a purpose that is, not just random features.

it's ok

64bit greatness.

Don't forget that this is Early Access. The game's core features are there, and it's up to to the players to tolerate the occasional game crash or bug.

I've gotten what I paid for - what was advertised.

After hundreds of hours I have finally built a working 1:1 model of NYC. Now let's see if I still have a family.
