The verdict
A beautiful, immersive open-world milsim with a strong PvE mode and deep gunplay, but still pre-alpha. Skip it if you want clean PvP, smart AI or good performance on mid-range PCs.
Great for
Solo or co-op PvE players who like slow, tactical, Ghost Recon-style open-world shooters without raid timers
Main risk
Cheaters, bullet-sponge AI and repetitive fetch quests, plus poor performance on mid-range PCs
What players love
