In 2000, I was playing random Half Life mods that looked and functioned better than this game. And in that same year, I surely wondered to myself what the Gaming of the Future would be like. Now, 25 years later, I know. It's an endless stream of insultingly terrible cash-grab garbage like this: games that the old HL1 mods would be ashamed to release. Steam is full of "low quality" meme games, but this one adds the wonderful element of an unhinged, ungoverned multiplayer element onto it. Here's the actual game experience:

1) Confusing, muddy, dark graphics that make it difficult to know what's what, and where's where and what it's even possible to interact with.
2) Spawning as a "Prole", i.e. the lowest level scum/loser character class when you die, forcing you to physically wander a phantom/ghost version of the game world looking for a body you can spawn into.
3) Endlessly running around not having a clue where to go or what to do, or what's even possible, or what the goals are.
4) Needing special resources that you're supposed to somehow acquire from trash or other players or some other unexplained source
5) Not having any of these, and thus being unable to craft next-level tools, or anything at all.
6) Attempting to do mindless hell-work like doing laundry to gain some basic currency
7) A "war" happens, and now you must do...something
8) Rations are here. You need to eat. Go find where those rations are, if you can. If you can, wonder if someone will just be waiting there to kill you. Other players must be "doing their jobs" for rations to exist though.
9) The screen suddenly gives a message that some random weird event like "being limited" happens, and all the already-muddy, trashy, dark textures convert to red and black only, making it even more eye-watering and confusing to navigate or discern the different between different types of other people - including who is trying to kill you and who isn't.
10) There are cops, doctors, traitors, "Bad guys" or other types that other people are playing. You won't have a clue how these people managed to attain these roles, as you've never seen anything but dirty laundry and some trash.
11) Cops and whoever the hell else apparently have guns. You have a dead rat.
12) Those people can just kill you. Congrats. You're now back to the respawn phantom world with nothing.
13) Repeat whatever short life you just attempted to live in which you attempted to fold laundry or collect useless trash and starve while you wait for some random ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with a gun to kill you for fun.

If you think that it's fun to be a worthless, powerless, disgusting creature just scraping trash from the muddy, blurry, dark pits of a world already occupied by other players who have everything that you don't, including weapons, then this is the game for you.
If you thought that HL mods in 2000 just weren't ♥♥♥♥♥♥-looking enough, or confusingly-designed-enough, or were just too full of clear gameplay mechanics, or if they had some semblance of balance or actual design, and you're starving for something new and painful, then this is the game for you.
If you have immense trust in the upstanding and righteous behavior of people playing multiplayer games such that you're very sure that they would never exploit an ingrained and inevitable power imbalance to ruin everyone's experience, then this is the game for you.
If you aren't utterly sick of the endless stream of fractional-effort, mud-graphics games made in a weekend by people who never had a real job in which the quality of their output was under any scrutiny, then give this insulting mess of a game a try or two.

May Gaben have mercy on the souls of the scum that continuously produce this crap. And may he deliver me from my own stupidity, and forever remind me in my weakest moments to ignore my friends when they recommend basically any game ever. Amen.
