After long anticipation the next installment of the Arma franchise has finally reached players to get a grasp on something new and test around. In this review I'll talk about my thoughts about the game and my view on Arma Reforger !

Before I get started I want to make one thing clear, I do not see Arma Reforger as a fully fledged game but more as a Tech Demo which it should me IMHO. I read a lot of review from people not understanding what Reforger is meant for so I'll give you a little insight on the matter.

A technology demonstration (or tech demo), also known as demonstrator model, is a prototype, rough example or an otherwise incomplete version of a conceivable product or future system, put together as proof of concept with the primary purpose of showcasing the possible applications, feasibility, performance and method of an idea for a new technology. They can be used as demonstrations to the investors, partners, journalists or even to potential customers in order to convince them of the viability of the chosen approach, or to test them on ordinary users.

So now that's out of the way let's get started.

Arma Reforger provides us with a glimpse of the possibilities that the new Enfusion Engine provides for the future of Arma and so far what I've seen over the course of just a little over a week is very promising.
The performance in comparison is stunning, especially now after the first few fixes that have released my game is running very smooth except for the occasional random disconnect from a server while playing, which has become normal with Early Access games nowadays so you could say people are getting used to Server Problems on game releases. And I'm sure with time BI will fix them once and for all so we can focus on playing and testing.
Yes there are other errors and glitches and bugs... the list keeps growing. But instead of always complaing about a problem I'd prefer people to report these issues through the proper channels and actually be of help instead of a pain in the a**.

One of the things I currently not enjoy is the UI, I don't know if it's the feeling of unfamiliarity or something else, at the moment I'm just not getting warm with it and hope there will be some rework or mod later on.

Sound and Grapics are both good, the fact that puddles form when it's raining and go away after a while is great. Also the lighting is such a huge step forward from Arma 3 which is amazing to see, looking through a window of a house from the outside and it actually being dark and not super bright is nice, also shadows have greatly improved.

Gameplay wise there is not that much to do right know which was to be expected, we will have to wait for modders to give us what we desire and maybe hope that BI will maybe also provide us with some more Singleplayer content which I'd really enjoy.

The things that I'm missing most at the moment are:

1: Mission Editor
2: Aircrafts
3: Singleplayer Content
4: Civilians

I hope I could give you a good review from my perspective which by the way is the perspective of a Mil-Sim guy.
Also always remember only by being factual you will be listened to.
Together let us shape the future of Arma!
