Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
Argo was a free, stripped-down 5v5 Arma 3 tactical shooter, but the official servers are shut down and it's effectively unplayable now. Skip it unless you want nostalgia.
Great for
Nostalgic former players or Arma fans curious about its history
Main risk
Official servers are shut down, so you can't log in or find matches
