Escape from Tarkov

I DO NOT recommend this game for anyone unless you want to spend literally 500+ hrs just understanding the maps let me give you an example you load in for a raid "YOU DID GOOD" then you die because you don't know where are the exits are "Ya skill issue" I bought the PvE mode so i can get around and learn the maps then jump to PvP and STILL i need a second google TAB to know where i am , just get stalker 2 much better game , this game is literally carried by the core players that playing it since beta with thousands of hours And yeah even in PvE the AI is TRASH and they aim bot you from 150m especially if it a boss they LOOK at you and you die , horrible horrible game

Literally got false banned for doing nothing wrong. LIterally bought the game on discount, played for a week and then got banned for "cheating" when i was just playing the game. Was playing as a scav, died, came back to main menu and was greeted with a message and a n email telling me i was banned for "Cheating". Genuinely PIssing me off, waited so long for a PC that can run the game (its garbage ut playable) and then i had to wait basically a whole year to get the game on sale just to be told I cant play. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SUCKS. I sent an email letting them know my perdicament, the first guy came tried to help and asked me for a discription liek what apps i had runnign in the background ( Chrome and steam), I waited a week for a response for him to basically just ask for some further insight and then I did some research and found out MICROSOFT POWERTOYS CAN TRIP THE ANTI CHEAT ( according to gemini) or something and then i sent a follow up email and screenshots of the software which i have running in the background. Then i wait another week (today) just get an email from another support memeber telling me that according to the Terms of service, if an account is suspected of cheating they have the right to remove access, and sayign if my account was stolen ,they are not responsible for its removal. SO I SENT A RESPONSE TO THAT EMAIL and im waiting for a response or just to be ignored. DOnt buy this game unless you want to get your $35 taken for ♥♥♥♥♥♥ quality control.

Been getting into this style of game recently after watching Peanut on twitch. This looks like a fun game and Is a fun game. But has a large learning curve unless you got someone to explain the game to you. The issue i have is I bought it for PVE to find out PVE is another 40$!! Bought the PVE to learn before i pvp.. but hardly anyone que's for pve groups.. and when i do find someone to play with..... THEY JUST KILL AND LOOT YOU... so lame. Game is getting boring and unplayable with others as they just kill you. -5 stars

bad optimization, a lot of bugs.

Got locked out of playing at the login menus. I get an email for to allow hardware to sign in and every time it says code is incorrect. I have tried this with two emails and both result the same way.

PvP sucks, PvP Seasonal [u](which is PvP but worse)[/u] sucks, and PvE especially sucks since it's technically singleplayer but actually isn't, you need internet connection to play it and the in-game market is affected by other players [u](which is normal for PvP modes, but shouldn't be a thing in PvE since duhh)[/u], AND it costs extra money, so you pay for a singleplayer expansion just to play against only AI that is unimaginably horrible and will either laser beam you back to the main menu or be genuinely oblivious, no in-between... And to make matters worse, the "singleplayer" expansion is also not moddable like any normal singleplayer experience on God's green Earth... The game is also buggy as hell, which is honestly impressive cause this game has been around for years, it takes skill to be this bad. The game, sadly, has so much unreached potential... and it's just not fun... It's tedious without any sorts of fun in return... and I don't know if BSG is trying to make it better or is actively making it worse, but all I know is that [i]I'm not having fun...[/i] I'm not complaining about not being able to play it [u](cause "Skill Issue" gets used a lot here)[/u], I absolutely know my way around Tarkov, PvP combat, and PvE combat, but I can't do it without feeling my braincells disintegrate one by one... I also had to grind, suffer, and learn A LOT, which is normal in hardcore videogames, but there's a point where it genuinely becomes unhealthy... [h3]TL;DR[/h3] Been playing this game for so long now... I can safely say, without an ounce of a doubt, that I [b]DO NOT[/b] recommend this game to anyone who's looking to enjoy anything other than terrible design, buggy experience, horrible AI, suffering, grinding, crippling anxiety, encountering cheaters, and more grinding.

ive played this game twice in the last 6 months (when it was newer) then stopped playing for a bit due to other games peaking my interest. i re-download the game to play with a few friends of mine, and i was banned. and after opening a support ticket with battlestate, i was given a very generic canned response. have no idea why i was banned before nor after reaching out to them. i would not recommend this game AT ALL. ngl when i did play it, it wasnt that fun anyway. just a waste of money. for me investing in a piece of software and them taking that money and locking me out of my ability to play this game, I WILL NEVER BE PURCHASING A PIECE OF SOFTWARE FROM THIS PUBLISHER, NOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIO EVER AGAIN.
