Game has nice fundamentals, its enjoyable to some point. But when the protection period ends this game is unplayable
First: Its extraction shooter where you have many operators to choose from, one of them for example has ability to be completly silent for 30s when moving :D Super fun to play against it
Second: 90% of the time you are paired against sweats from DF Pinnacle, there is no matchmaking in this game. Just find available player and put them together. To understand this firstly you need to overcome protection period that puts you against mainly bots.
Third: Maybe this game can be more enjoyable when you have already party of 3 people total to play with. I did not have that opportunity and wasted 200h of solo playing with eventually squad filling that puts you with people that speak their own languages or for most of the time they do not know what the mic is and what is its purpose.
Fourth: Maps are divided into three modes; easy, normal, hard. Easy is filled up with bots from time to time but after protection period this mode is more like normal, where everyone gears up with 1-2M value and probably comes to have enjoyable time against new players when they get their asses kicked on other modes. Normal and Hard are with unlimited gear meaning that Normal became Hard, because there are playing mostly sweats of this game with maxed gears, or some incredibly talented players can run this with medium gear. If you happen to switch to Normal as a solo you are just meat for the sweats. With premade team maybe you could do something nice here. Waiting times for Normal modes are also incredible as those modes in my assumption are never filled with bots (Personally never even once I played against bots on Space City) Maybe on the basic map (Zero Dam) its more common.
Generally, if you as a team of sweating bros would like a challange and fun battle royale hero shooter then its for you.
Otherwise if you are lone wolf that looks for a game I advise that you will not make my mistake enjoying this game on protection period and Easy Mode to later get hit hard with 0.5s TTK while fully geared from some guy that is jumping like monkey in pursuit of running banana.
The problem that sealed my review is mainly matchmaking. This is unbearable, there is already low playerbase and there is no skill based matchmaking while game is Dynamic Hero Shooter. Leading to one thing. When you are new and try to even adjust to this skilled players movements you cant because they rarely make mistakes and are aware of everything and kill you in 0.2 second leading to some insane loop:
You prepare for normal game with gear and would like to challange yourself -> You wait for raid around 10min -> Unlesss you are ratting, you end raid after 2min of spawn from some skilled player with no way to improve (Yeah sometimes you get lucky and you fight someone with similar game experience but that is hella rare, because they are also mainly cleared out by different sweats or premades). I was lucky also to play while one of the maps had solo mode, That was a lot more enjoyable as someone who does not have premade, and here I could manage sometimes against better players and that was soo rewarding, but as of now they removed this possibility.
