GROUND BRANCH

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up

The core gameplay is already good, the shooting feels realistic and engaging. Many of the systems are in place, however I dont think this game was ready for a full release. There are too many little bugs and in places it feels unpolished. However having said that there are many positives and i'm sure the Dev team will fix things and continue to work at it. One glitch for instance results in you getting stuck on doors and other objects in the environment, it gets annoying quickly. You dont particularly feel like a Tier 1 operator when you struggle to navigate through a door while wearing night vision, aiming down sights, peeking around the corner... only to get stuck, your weapon seemingly jammed in the door. Furthermore enemy AI needs a bit of work, currently its a mixed bag. Most of the time the AI responds really well and realistically, and then out of the blue they can John Wick you through a wall. I've been shot at by enemies pointing 90 degrees away from me frequently, and have this weird bug where I die split seconds before the enemy shoots at me. I'm not sure what is causing this but its quite frustrating. I really hope the team behind ground branch keep at it, because there is a lot here and you can just see the potential.=, but right now its just too rough and there are too many issues to recommend as it feels more like an early Beta then a full release.
