Simple but surprisingly interesting.

Surprisingly gripping and very interesting in general. Shame it's kind of small but better for it to be not enough than too much, I guess.

I've played it for the first time in 12 years and even though I knew all the story beats, I've had a fresh perspective on some of the important topics GTA IV handles. Still worth playing today as it was on release.

As a Flash game it'd be fine for me, but I really didn't like it.

I cannot recommend it. It is fun, it's somewhat unusual to me and I ended up liking story more than I initially thought I will. However, the combat is janky and for some reason, developers have decided to use cel-shading, making it Borderlands-esque in presentation. I found duels hard and not fun. Intense railroading with cutscenes sometimes make it feel like it's a laser arcade.

Such a console-geared game clearly.

I don't think I'll be in majority when I say that this game, while pleasant, impacted me positively or negatively whatsoever. It's by no means bland but at the same time...it just didn't feel gripping or immersing me. I do appreciate that instead of size, developers went for a multiple options one can have towards achieving your goal. It's been a while since I've encountered this approach but then again, I've been missing out on almost a decade of gaming since 2014.

If you like stealth and you like occult themes, then you should at least try it, but obviously, for a greater understanding, you should start with the first one. I appreciate that it's also one of those rare games when killing people isn't necessary. I don't mind killing in computer games, so to speak (except when it's too gory) but I also really like to play a goody two-shoes and help everyone and mend everything. If you like that and you like to be a badass who exercises his/hers powers for the good and avoids bloodshed when necessary, then it's also for you.

I didn't want to put a recommendation thumbs up for it but Steam forces you to, so since it's very well made, I'd say that I recommend it.

It's a pretty good game. The massive bonus is that the graphics and the engine allow it to be run on a potato. My computer is not quite potato but more like fancy French fries but for the most part, I'm still using GeForce Now for more intense titles. It's been a while since I was able to run a 254 player game without my computer dying under strain.

The graphics may also be a negative who like eye candy, so your mileage may vary. It's essentially stripped down Battlefield of old. The fact that three people made it happen is impressive.

However, this game has a lot of sweat. If you're a sweatlord - that's fine but sometimes it's really frustrating to be stacked, especially when the game of Frontline gets clanstacked. SMG enjoyers are annoying, snipers are annoying and despite the apparent stability of the game, one cannot help but wonder whether hitboxes and damage system needs additional refinement. Devs seem to be aping stuff with skins, kind of missing the point in my opinion. The report system seems to be weird and it does seem like clans seem to cooperate on simply reporting people they don't like, regardless whether they have violated the TOS or not. Encountered higher than average amount of weirdos. Could use some differentiation in stuff like Remote Weapon Systems (both Russian TIGR and HMMWV have an option of that in the game but it's just a simple blocky cube with a gun).

TL:DR: It's for you if you like Battlefield and/or Minecraft, don't mind some simplicity, like to be covered in sweat and don't mind weirdos.

I was surprised by the fact that 5 years in, this niche game still has people playing it and while they're not that many (and there wasn't that many back when I purchased it), it's kind of a cool community where everyone knows one another.

I like the shooting physics here, although I wonder what happened to adjusting zero on the rifle sights (have I missed something?) and I like it's kind of gritty. I'm not sure any game could accurately capture the pointlessness and cruelty of WWI but, comparing to the footage that survived and accounts of people who fought in it - it's as close as we'll get, I guess.

I recommend this game.

All kinds of fun this game is. I'd say it is still worth even 19.99. Always updated, some fun events, tons of character skins and of course - DOSH. So grab this game while you still can if you haven't.
