It's a great game, i would like to go into details and say good stuff about the game, however that would take me a long time. There is a ♥♥♥♥ ton of good stuff about Insurgency Sandstorm, but dont get me wrong, since it's a fairly new game, it still has some bugs, however by now most are fixed (or being fixed) already, just some minor stuff that don't really matter. Another "not a good thing" is the optimization, i have a FX8350 4.4Ghz and a R9 390 OC, those aren't bad specs and yet i can barelly run the game at low-medium settings; I have drops in comp that reach about 50fps, average is about 70fps, and in versus/co-op i have drops to even about 25fps, and average is around 40fps, pretty unplayable, so i mostly stick to comp.

At the begining i said that i could talk for hours about the good stuff however i won't mention all but just the things that i can think off now. The list is not in any particular order.

-Realistic magazines
-Realistic recoil
-Realistic animations (especially on the weapons!)
-Piles of blood
-People screaming when dying (it's kind of weird me mentioning that, but it's just so teryfing that it reaches the point of "epic" in my opinion which is weird in a way, but i like it)
-Voice lines (in general)
-Customization system
-Great maps (if you are a CQB guy, the maps got you covered; if youre a long range sniper the maps got you covered, if you are a sneaky (creepy) bastard that sneaks behind the enemy lines (like me ^^), the maps got you covered; if you are anything in between, the maps got you covered! But that's not the only thing, the maps in general are really detailed, there is a lot of 200IQ spots, and because of most map layouts there is a lot of places where you can execute 300IQ+ plays, that will keep your enemies on their toes!)
-Radio (comms) system
-Classes in versus/co-op
-Fun (sometimes weird, but fun) (seasonal) game-modes
-Weapon optics
-Tactical-ness of the game
-Very f-ing hardcore game, for no casual players (which i love!)
-Realistic camouflage

And yet there is much more tiny details, but perhaps those are too tiny too cover or are just not popping in my mind at the moment for some reason.

So, in short: Buy this game! If you are a hardcore gamer (like me) you will love this game! If you are a casual player that games like (Counter Strike, Rainbow Six, Battlefield, Call of Duty) don't satisfy, YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME! Basically it's the most realistic "First Person Shooter" game out right now, so that's yet another reason to love this game. And please, do me a favor: Don't listen to people that say that this game sucks, they say it most likely because they suck themselfs, but be carefull, this game is tough, it's hard to "not suck" in this game, even for 10k+ CS veterans.

If you ask who the hell i am to write this review, well, i will tell you right now: For most people (in the internet) i am no-one, to DGL people i am one of the better players in this game (if there was something like a top 100 best players leaderboard, i would most likely be on it), and if you ask yourself, what the heck is DGL, or "The Digital Gamers League" i should say, in short it's basically like ESL but miniature for just 3 games (Insurgency Sandstorm included ofcourse), and it has the best community i have ever experienced in any of the games i played ever. If you want to join, you don't need to be the best initiate, everyone can join, we have our own league outside the comp, and yet a pro league for [EU] and [NA], in the normal league everyone can play, however it's mostly skilled players, so if you are new, you will have a hard time, but that's how i started, just playing with the better players, they will teach you the ways.
