So, I've been playing this game fairly consistently since release.
This game is certainly not finished. But it is a Diamond in the rough compared to the mountain of other Early Access trash.

There are issues. Crytek is always quick to fix them with hotfixes. The updates are quality and meaningful and you can actually tell the game is progressing towards its end goals. That being said

I Love this game. I took maybe a few weeks break from it to play Escape from Tarkov.

UPDATE: I just nominated this for Game of the Year award on Steam, I have almost 400 hours of some of the best PvP I have ever experienced. Every fight, win or lose is a heart pounding thrilling experience. This is still not a game for everyone as it is a very niche shooter. But damn you gotta try it

UPDATE 2: Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ buy the game and get gud

RELEASE UPDATE: If you see someone saying this game is p2w, that the visuals suck, or the menu is bad. Ignore them. Even if they have 100 hours in this game that isnt ♥♥♥♥. This is a hard game, you're gonna be garbage when you start. Don't neg review this game over that.

is gud game

UPDATE 2023: Nominated for Labor of Love award :)

UPDATE 1895 RE-RELEASE: I'm right there with a lot of you guys, the new UI is bulky, they've fixed some things, will likely adjust and fix more. I'm pretty much used to it now to be honest, doesn't bother me anymore. There are other bugs that snuck in, but with an overhaul this large this is to be expected, some of them are inexcusable. HOWEVER, I've not had any problems, and this is a review of my experiences.. Pretty much the only thing I can currently complain about is that sometimes I cannot equip the second pistol for dual wielding, and it only effects certain models at any given time. Some people, including my friends, and fellow hunt players say the game feels foreign, or that its not even the same game anymore and I feel like this is both true, on a minute aspect, but fundamentally flawed in the grand scheme of things.

I think this update is good, I like it, and once I get out of the menus, and back into a bounty hunt, it feels like home, muscle memory takes over, I love the new map! I like the event perks, and I think the battle pass is a little lack luster. But, I've been having a GREAT time. I hope everyone enjoys the re-release and I hope everyone gives it a fair shot
