Don't get this game. Activision will take your money and then give you a crappy product. Possible spoilers and overall/tldr below.

Gameplay: 3/10 - Meh

Didn't bother to finish the campaign. Didn't bother with multiplayer or co-op either. I got to the Ghost Team level where you were literally bombarded with grenades from outta nowhere.
- The whole game is literally just grenades from every possible angle.
- Body armor mechanics are whack; somehow a helmet can withstand more than 3 shots of 5.56 in the same spot. Enemies with "body armor" are actually just bullet sponges that take an entire magdump. Enemies will literally just sit there "behind cover" (aka behind a BUNK BED) and take shots from you until they die. All without repositioning or even firing back.
- And I can somehow lean out a window and fire my rifle accurately while driving at 50mph?
- AI will literally turn a full 180, instantly spot you and shoot you when they obviously can't hear or see you (Recon by Fire, when you're raiding the buildings/containers and approaching from the rooftops/skylights).

Levels: 5/10 - Unimaginative and generic but with a few gems.

They're stupid but fun. Would be higher if gameplay mechanics were more refined. The nonlinear elements in Alone, and Violence and Timing make the game much more interesting and dynamic without being making the player feel lost.

Multiplayer/Co-op: N/A - I didn't even bother.

Performance: 6/10 - Barely Serviceable

Generally runs pretty fine but you'll run into stutters every now and then (1080p on high settings, 3070 Ti 8GB, Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM). Game freezes a bit during level loading and very noticeably freezes when you die and the level has to reload. Also freezes a little when reloading from last checkpoint. Crashes every once in a while but seems to crash a lot more when you go off-tab.

Bugs: 3/10 - Sometimes Unplayable

- Friendly AI will sometimes run in front of you and get shot, prompting the generic COD "Friendly fire will not be tolerated" message.
- Friendly AI will tend to get "stuck" or just stand all the way in the back and not follow the level's progress. This is particularly noticeable in Cartel Protection and Prison Break.
- Ghost Team specifically has a lighting bug at the start when you're in the tunnels. It's like the Sun being shoved down into your eye sockets. Only way to fix this as far as I know is to turn the Field of View all the way down. And even then, it doesn't entirely fix the issue; you still see extremely bright glowing lights through walls.
- Crashes every once in a while but seems to crash a lot more when you go off-tab.

Overall Rating: 4/10 - Like I said, don't bother buying this game.

You'd think that a multi-billion dollar company would do a $70 AAA title right, especially from a well-established franchise. Game sucks, is buggy as hell and runs like crap on a high-end machine. While I am thankful I got this on sale, the game is not worth more than $20.

10/10 - easily one of the best sandbox/looter-rpgs in existence

re-logic scammed me when they promised no more updates.

sigh. i have to beat terraria for the 200th time!

i went from level 1 crook to level 100 mafia boss in less than 10 hours.

9/10

i wasn't into butt stuff until my friend introduced me to this game.

now i enjoy butt stuff in the form of planetary ana-- annihilation: titans

10/10

trash game.

abysmal grind. horrible balancing, inconsistent modeling, sometimes pay-to-win/progress.

big tiddy space elf gf enjoyer

playing eldar is very painful and inflicts great suffering but i keep playing and my friends keep calling me a masochist but screw them, for i have the eldar tiddies.

10/10 would butter again

Was one of my favorite games at its peak. I played pretty much 24/7 back in early April 2017 and all the way through 2018.


This game was great but now it's dead. NWI let it die in favor of the unpolished, lackluster and extremely buggy Insurgency sequel, Sandstorm.
