Cool concept, poor execution. What is supposed to be a survival game is a sandbox casualfest at best, like a solo/coop ARK without cool dinosaurs. Combat boils down to playing stealth archer from skyrim or having slap fights with horses and wolves to see who runs out of health first. On top of that, the game does not look amazing even on max settings.

Early Access Review
"Nice extraction shooter that has something different to offer besides everything thats typical in this genre, in the from of the asymmetrical PvP. Altough, it's a bit sad that the devs decided to tone down the aspects which set it apart and went more into the "military mercenary stuff mishmash" theme instead of "laboratory personnel out of their element who are trying to survive"."

Is what I thought at 35h after playing the unbalanced beta (which was fun mind you and would later turn out to probably be the best overall state the game was in so far, possibly mostly because of a playerbase the EXISTS, which at the time of this review is ~60 players down from ~3000), waiting for the early access release with a promise of much needed fixes so I waited. Early access came out with only some bugs not even fixed but made a more rare occurance and the balance swinging from OP aliens to OP merceneries back and forth not even a week apart like the game has a bipolar disorder with devs promising they are only testing and that the good, balanced state is to come so, yeah, ok fair, I played on while listening to how they are fixing stuff and each time even more bugs appear, some of them being obvious bad decisions being written of as bugs. A new map came out and became dead as soon as the playerbase started diminishing due to the queue time (nowadays you either wait around 20-30min or get put in a lobby with the same 5 players over and over again) and the devs decided to do what? to introduce a solo queue which essentialy means splitting the playerbase AGAIN.

I mostly played as the Alien (and still do, even tho it's literal torture to do so) since the asymmetrical PvP is the only aspect that extraction shooters with better "extraction shooter" gameplay lack, but for some time now that aspect has been nearly completely abandoned by the devs who listened to the game hopping, loud crowd who want every extraction shooter to be the same, since hey, that stuff worked in tarkov, and tarkov was successfull overall so it has to work again, right? Well, now all these people that got what they wanted have left, leaving behind a mangled husk of a once honestly enjoyable game with a great potential to slowly cease to exist.

If you are deciding whether or not to give this game a chance, look at the player numbers (just google it) going down consistently each week while keeping in mind that each of these few dozen players have been playing since the very beginning, have stuck out with it throught thick and thin and by now are absolute beasts at the game, who destroy a new player on a reflex without a need for any strategy or outplays and still decide to quit.

Looks awesome, sounds awesome, but most importantly plays awesome. Really hope the full game will be even better, but hey, game devs are capable to destroy anything no matter how good it is.
