SAND: Raiders of Sophie

Thank you for kicking me for suspicious activity and giving me a one hour ban for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game dont buy this goyslop

At this point in 2026 it's just negligence to release a game that is immediately subject to rampant cheating. Great game, nice work, but they did not prioritize anticheat before release and the game is a flop because of it.

Try to have fun and you will be reminded that you have to grind Grind to finally have fun, the function return in the extract doesn't exist for you anymore, die by cheater or a full crew 6 pristine 40 mm cannon while you are not be able to see them because there is a smoke on your ship (don't worry while you can't see your own ship they of course see yours in 4k)

Гра як шкідлива звичка, азарт, швидкі емоції і не здорова привязаність. переповнена чітерами, багами які псують ігровий досвід та сливають тобі катки. Відсутність балансу. Але навіть це не так погано. Відсутність чіткої реєстрації вистрілів. Я як людина яка часто певепешиться на стрілецькій зброї просто плачу. значна кількість файтів програна саме через постріли які не реєструються. Гра бажає щоб ти або стріляв не зрозуміло з якою траекторією вперед або в місце де людина була кілька десятих секунди тому. Одним словом жах. Ну і звісно кудиж без синхронно-запускників(гравці які стартують матч одночасно щоб попасти в один матч) можливо тут ще якась механіка цього не знаю, але дістали люди які очевидно грають разом і ні це не ті що в процесі гри домовились грати в колабі, це люди які справді стартують разом. Також коли граєш соло матчі будь готовий що буде грати проти тебе 2 тіпа на ворожому трамплері. Ну знову ж таки це про "баланс". Загалом потрібно чекати роки 2-3 поки не появиться мінімальні стандарти які повинна мати онлайн гра. Не рекомендую на даному етапі. Через кілька років імовірно порекомендую бо вайб в гри прикольний якщо не концентруватись на тому що грати це з серйозним підходом не можливо)

Grind for 70 hours, build the best ship you can, get killed in under a minute by sweats.

♥♥♥♥♥ полная. у хохлов ниухя не получилось и вряд-ли получится

With the game besieged by negative reviews made by people who played a couple of matches and left because of some inconvenience they experienced in an EA title, I've decided to leave a positive review. The game actually deserves it for what it is, and most importantly, what it's trying to achieve. Firstly, the game suffered from two major issues which caused the early wave of negatives: -Server instability during first week which caused some matches to crash, returning everyone back to base. This issue is already solved and the servers are mostly stable now. I haven't seen it but there might be some minor issues. Never had a match interrupted for a long time now though. -A cheater wave ~1 week ago. The devs, as with all such competitive games with resource collection (Rust, DayZ, Tarkov etc) are locked in a fight. So far, after the initial struggle, it looks like they got their things in order and solved the worst of the cheating. This game also has potential to be a bit more resistant to cheats simply due to its nature. Most fights are at range and bullets have dropoff and travel time. Wallhack would also be mostly useless. Both issues are under control now and the devs are releasing weekly patches to address the issues. This leads me to an important point about the devs: even if it's the studio's first release, the devs are very active and seem to react to many popular issues quite quickly. It doesn't mean they can solve everything overnight, but this does make me hopeful for the game's development. Just today, they've released a patch with more improvements and much requested smoke shell nerf. Smoke shell topic picked up steam 2 weeks ago tops and they reacted quickly. It's nice to see the devs doing something with feedback, even if it's simple tweaks. As for the game itself: there is no other title like this one on the market. I know there's sea of thieves but it has a different vibe. Unlike other shooters, this one is very focused on teamwork and outcompeting the enemy team with the resources you have and the machine you built. There's different playstyles and they all are based on what you come up with. Firing your broadside on the move? Getting in close with a ram? Boarding? Straightforward shootouts? Avoiding combat and having rear-facing weapons only? All are down to what you want. Asides from that, the game does feel somewhat fair compared to other shooters. Most of the time you'll see your opponents coming from afar. Ambushes and sneaking are rare and done dynamically instead of camping the only chokepoint on the map. Even if you are facing a bigger, better armed trampler - you can always try to run before they get to you, get into rough terrain that's hard to navigate for bigger ships or simply win the fight via boarding. Gear advantage is at it's weakest in close combat. Shotguns are deadly and medium tier armor is the most common. Granted, killing an enemy does not take them out of the game - players respawn in crew quarters as long as they have supplies or the module is intact. Even still, wiping the enemy crew lets you sabotage and disarm their trampler if you are quick at it. So there's always a chance for your team to win as long as you can get up close and board the enemy. This all ends up creating a thrilling experience where you have times of calm as you travel and loot the deserted (no pun intended) planet just to run into an enemy and have the action suddenly begin. Maybe you spotted them at the last possible moment. Maybe you surprised them. Or maybe you just had a chance to rob them and took it. The game has a long way to go. But people acting like the intermittent issues during the post-launch period were some sort of catastrophe really seem to miss the mark. I played during early release and had ~4 out of 10 matches ruined but still had lots of fun. Currently, you can still encounter bugs but it's something to be expected in an EA title. The only major issue that's still unadressed are teamers in solo (people trying to join the same game at the same time to play together). While it is a bannable offence, you can still see them sometimes in lobby. I suspect the devs will also roll out a patch to solve this fairly soon. The game is cheap, has huge potential, and you may have like one match out of 20 ruined. Chances are, in any other extraction shooter, something would make you rage anyway. Buy it, try it. Learn from mistakes and try to think up solutions. I say it's worth it.

Toxic ppl make progression impossible. Unless you feel like going pvp with sweaty nerds that play games 24/7 don't waste your time.

Shid was fun at first now you just get hacked on or go up against people with maxed out tramplers so you cant progress. fix the game then it will be somewhat fun.
