In the bleak wasteland of our modern gaming landscape, where franchises are flogged until even their digital bones are stripped bare, occasionally one stumbles upon an unexpected oasis. Enter Crossout, a vehicular combat MMO that dares to ask the question: what if the post-apocalypse was just an excuse for gear grinding and vehicular mayhem?

At first blush, Crossout presents itself as a gritty, immersive experience – a world where the strong survive by bolting together monstrous mechanical creations to do battle across desiccated plains. And indeed, there is a certain visceral thrill to the proceedings. The customisation system is robust, allowing for an almost endless array of four-wheeled abominations bristling with guns, blades, and improvised armour.

But alas, dear reader, all is not well in this gasoline-soaked paradise. For you see, lurking beneath the hood of this beast is the insidious spectre of the grind – that great demonic force that haunts so many of our virtual playgrounds. To acquire the necessary components for your dream machine often requires hours upon hours of toil, an investment of time that borders on the Kafkaesque.

And yet, even as one's higher faculties recoil at this blatant skinner box manipulation, some deeper animal instinct takes hold. The reptilian brain awakens, whispering seductively: "You are Mad Max, the road warrior, master of the highways." Suddenly, the grind transforms from a chore into a kind of perverse ritual, a rite of passage in this crumbling Ozymandian kingdom.

In the end, perhaps it is this very madness that redeems Crossout. For in a world gone mad, where deranged marauders prowl endless highways, what truer path is there than to embrace the insanity? To strap into a steel juggernaut, howl a banshee wail into the unforgiving sky, and slam pedal to metal in a defiant charge against all that is sane and sensible? In such moments, Crossout transcends its flaws and limitations, offering a glimpse of something primal and unhinged. And really, in this age of carefully focus-tested entertainment products, isn't a little unhinged lunacy exactly what we need?

The game was interesting in the beginning, but it is unfortunately pay to win.

this used to be a fun game but recently they have changed a core game mechanic that most guns have infinite ammo obviously excluding cannons and missiles and flamethrowers and basically any weapon that's meant for one big shot or a salvo of big shots but now all guns have ammo and if that wasn't enough now all weapons have projectiles so you have to leave your target I wish you would go back to the way it was before this update
