Early Access Review
I've played this game quite a bit, but I've hesitated to review it. Not because it is too good or too bad, mostly i wanted to see the progress and the work that the devs put in the game weekly.
What have i done in 200+ hours you might ask, well I've unlocked every modifier in the game (modifiers are skins with small perks), I've unlocked every single weapon with all attachment slots for each (yes you have to unlock the 2nd and 3rd attachment slot on the gun -with in game currency of course-), I've maxed out half of the weapons (yes you have to level weapons to unlock the attachments) and I've enjoyed the game a lot. (welp until i got burned out).

The gameplay is fine, the netcode might annoy some of you but for me it felt good, nothing seems unfair, every gun seem balanced (well shotguns are shotguns), the operators were pretty balanced too (maybe not Malva, she is still busted as long as you have the healing grenade), and lobbies are found in seconds.
You can play either PVP ( escort, demolition, TDM and capture the point) or PVE (Rogue-like expedition, Coop of 3). PvP matches are 6v6 (not my cup of tea but the chaos is fun sometimes).

There is no in game chat yet (it was for the first week if i remember right), you have voice chat but nobody uses it. The matchmaking, what can i say, i don't hate it but neither i love it, its SBMM, every multiplayer game nowadays has it. In PvE it might be a problem because if you don't play with friends you may encounter randoms that have the skill of a 5 year old which is blind and have one arm missing, but if you are skilled enough you can carry them, hopefully.

Every few weeks the devs tweaked the PVE to make it harder. The first month (September) i had about a win every 2 matches which is a lot, next month (October) i saw the difference in difficulty as me and my friend were winning 1 out of every 3-4 matches which is still a lot but was better for the devs statistics. In November i haven't play that much but i still was winning about every one in 4-5 matches.

As a whole i like the game, i like the fact that the devs updates it constantly, and the fact that they add new content weekly and let's not forget that those people are updating the game while dodging rockets in Kiev so many thanks for their effort. I mostly played the PVE but i also played the PVP (mostly when i had to do my daily/weekly quests) . The game is still in BETA, so i won't walk about bugs (there are, but no game breaking bugs).
I'm looking forward to see how the game will evolve and how will it be after the official release.

All i can say is, try it for yourself, it is a lot of fun, if you got friends convince them to play too.
