UPDATED REVIEW AFTER 4.21:

The new engine upgrades to PS are nothing short of breathtaking. My frames went up considerably, and the action is now butter smooth. I would not hesitate to recommend picking this title up, especially given the new chapter which is releasing soon, which should introduce a whole new theatre of war and more new exciting content. It is really a pleasure to see this game continue to evolve and get even better than it already is. Hats off to Periscope Games for their continued commitment to Post Scriptum!



Old Review:

So after playing the game since the first test weekend, I'd like to write a brief review, based on how the game stands.

Overall, this game is just -killer-. While it is not be any means perfect (more on that below), what it does do well, it -excels- in. The immersiveness of Post Scriptum is something I've honestly never seen before in a video game. From the sound effects (epic) to the graphics (epic), you will definitely feel like you are back in Holland in 1944. The game is just so damn immersive, it's a shame they don't have VR to complete the experience.

The only way to play this game is with a team. That's it. If you think you are going to lone wolf in this one, do everyone a favor and play Battlefield. This is not that type of game.

The gunplay is quite good in my opinion, the vehicles are stellar, and if you have a good group of guys, this is honestly the most fun you'll ever have in a video game. There were moments where I literally was frightened to even move, where I was shouting at my section "Everyone get down!". There's no other feeling than guiding your squad past a Tiger tank and trying (and praying) to remain unseen, or lining everyone up just before the final push into the point, getting them ready to rush across a smoked field into enemy territory. It's just epic and exhilerating. This game consistently creates tense moments, due to its pacing, which yes, is slow at times. But that only serves to ramp up the tension when you enter into a firefight.

As far as cons, team play is dependent on how willing you are to use teamwork and work together. Communication is key, and when the section is spread to the four winds you will find yourself alone and generally frustrated as the game slowly turns into a dying simulator, a walking simulator, or both.

Final thoughts: this is not a perfect game, but it certainly has the potential to be. Fixing the mechanics to encourage more team play, and tweaking an already innovative spawn system, will make wonders for this game. The immersion it provides, and the incredible moments I've had along the way, far surpass my gripes, and certainly make me able to overlook these things. It will be remaining in my library for a long, long time.

tl;dr: This game isn't perfect, but it's what I've been waiting for since I was a kid. It is a hell of a good game if you work with your team, and have a mic. Still needs tweaking to be successful, but I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly immersive WW2 experience.
