Early Access Review
The game is GREAT. The connectivity to it is NOT.

One of the game's core concepts is playing in a group of people. Specifically people, not AI. As you play with the same group, you increase your "notoriety" which allows you to do more challenging / more rewarding difficulties. However, as soon as even a single member leaves, that "notoriety" resets back to 0, and it does not restore if that same player rejoins your group.

That wouldn't normally be a problem (it opens up the realm for things like "how far can we push it tonight?"), but there are desync / connectivity problems in about 1 out of every 3 rounds. This means that not only can your group no longer complete the mission, but also that all of your "notoriety" gets reset every time there's a sync problem.

This may also have to do with the fact that the game is server based instead of p2p, and there are only 3 servers (US West, Amsterdam, and Singapore if I'm not mistaken).

The game has a lot of potential, and is worth keeping an eye on, but as of right now I can't justify its early access state. As soon as the connectivity is fixed, it'll be easy to recommend to anybody with 2 friends.
