Pros: Fun when it works. Lots of potential. Devs seem cool, unlike Tarkov's. Get back to the action fast, but then it slows down which is a perfect mix. Captures tense jungle combat well. Really satisfying difficulty/tension ramp once you get out of the timmy village. Map environment and set dressing is superb.

Cons: Hot mess. Server connection issues, crashes, gear losses including subscriber gear - to which the only solution is an account reset. Hackers already. Unarmoured AI tank a dozen rounds while standing still, then laser one-tap you with cheap ammo through a plate. AI become terminators in higher difficulty locations. Totally unoptimised, and a top-end rig is no guarantee of it working well. No helo queueing, so expect to have to call for extract multiple times. Sound is wack - you can hear AI 3 levels down a concrete bunker as if they're standing next to you. Rubber banding. No quest sharing, so a group of 4 has to do the same "kill the boss" quest 4 times while being careful not to accidentally kill the boss if it's not your turn. And so on.

Honestly, if they fixed just that list of cons without adding any new features, it would be a thumbs up and worth the money. I fully expect to change this review and play the hell out of this as it matures. But right now, I can't recommend it with my hand on my heart. If you get it, don't get the DLC until they fix the subscriber gear bug.
