While the game has a ridiculously long name, it's proving to be a very popular game that's quite true to the Ghost in the Shell universe. Fans of Masamune's creation will be pleased to see many things such as the personality of each Section 9 Operative reflected in their voice lines, Tachikomas= ThinkTanks spawning in-game at your command, and the overall look and feel (ambience) of the GitS universe.

Having started this game at the turn from Closed Beta Testing to Early Access, I can say I've been playing it for a significant amount of time now, even if my stats don't reflect it as I'd never played a FPS before this game. That said, for a game that (at the time of review) has only just begun Open Beta Testing, the game has come a long way. Nexon is doing a great job of getting Neople and Team Waffle to implement what the passionate and positive community wants.

Positives:

Very Ghost in the Shell, fans of the franchise won't be disappointed
Several localised ports including English, French, German, and Spanish
Balanced weapons
Plethora of weapons and weapon customisation
Completely Free to Play and not Pay to Win
Multiple servers
Custom skins that are accurate to the franchise
Nothing is hidden behind a paywall
Hackers, trolls, toxic and abusive players are dealt with quickly
Quick Customer Support response time
Large and active forums
Official Discord server
Competitive scene
Clan system
Balanced level scaling
Your own Tachikoma

Negatives:

Noob salt is real
Can have a steep learning curve if you've never played a FPS before
Weapon customisation is sometimes a little too complicated
Difference between good players and bad players is a chasm

If you're looking to play a FPS or are a fan of Ghost in the Shell, I highly recommend this game. You'll read a lot of reviews from players that played the game for very few hours, if you're going to read a Steam review of the game, please read one from an established player to help decide. The game is great and is definitely going places, I hope you give it the chance it deserves.

I have played it before on the Nexon launcher, so it doesn't show on steam, and it is insanely glitchy. I notice things much faster than most people. The snipers, weak. the maps make snipers irrelevant and are poorly set up. I also found that sometimes (about 60% of the time) the climbing mechanic did not work and I would keep trying to climb a wall or ladder for about 20 seconds before it worked, other times it worked immediately. If you move with a sniper while you shoot it, it doesn't hit even if the cursor is over the perfect center of the enemy. Also, the camo class. The camoflauge is done so terribly poorly, that it makes it EASIER for the enemy to see you since it shines. 2/10. I spent about 6 hours trying to get past the numerous bugs and glitches, but I still was bored out of my mind and the only game I was playing at that point, was 'count how many types of glitches you can find!'. I hit 26 different types of glitches. See if you can beat the score of 26 different glitches.
