Game-play seems intuitive, stealth game lacking prone, the arbitrary timer set by Hunter Killers spawning is a god awful mechanic, the IRL timer on water that nukes your inventory because you wanted to play something else is absolutely absurd.

The game is fun, feels fluid & hardly clunky, class perks/skills could use more tweaks/variety as they're kinda railroad-y right not but I don't mind that too much.

There's only 2 issues I have with it & but they're not egregious enough to warrant a negative.

firstly the F2P model, allowing the use of Green rarity in normal mode is probably the most reasonable answer to the loot complaints, other than that you could add more loot tiers & potentially a 3rd matchmaking that allows those tiers as usable & open high roller to the f2p model, this would give f2p the same risk/reward rush that p2p players gets while also limiting the RMT value of green/blue quality gear.

Also a 2nd character slot., literally just 1 more.

Secondly, extraction limitations, the portal system in the early stages was fine IMO but I hated the ring, only the latter needed to go not both, now with the static extraction model it feels fine except for the limitation on how many people can use a single point (this is fine in solo) in duos/trios you often find yourselves mostly unable to actually make it to the group extraction point so your options are to just die or die trying to get there, either way you're losing the loot you just spent 10min getting, IMO changing them to allow extractions for X people based on the solo/duo/trio mode type chosen or to have doors/ropes come back after a certain amount of time instead of collapsing/never being lowered again would be beneficial to team-play(or even just adding like 2 more solo extract points per map)

Forced connection to the least secure gaming network, PSN, bad move, grab a refund if you can.

This isn't even including the absolute garbage balancing direction the devs have chosen to take.

Edit 1 : to remind you that no one has won anything, Sony still has not ACTUALLY reverted the lockout on steam for the countries that are not allowed to create PSN accounts

Edit 2 : 40+ hours later and still Sony has not reverted the lockout on 177 countries, every person that edited their review back to positive has failed.

keep up to date with when they do here -> https://steamdb.info/sub/137730/history/

Several forced DC's from server instability claiming "bad connection" (even though everything else is working fine) post the repeated maintenance to fix the issues led to a 24h leaver penalty, honestly as good as the game is can't recommend that if it's gonna immediately go to a 24h matchmaking ban for server-side issues

Edit: Servers have been semi-fixed, still ridiculous to get a ban after forced disconnects, connection is always unstable, no excuse for me to only have 3bars & a friend across town have 5bars
Several instances in matches where players are allowed to perform a tackle AFTER already being hit by the first melee attack, has never been something that I personally have encountered being able to do.
Melee is far too strong in this game to ever be acceptable, too many guns auto stagger on a simple tap shot

This game will never be worth the time you put into it.

Recently tried to play this again, got a DLC entitlement error, have heard nothing from support, tested every fix I could find on steam discussions & reddit & steam support & the dev teams support/help page & microsoft support(not surprised on this one though, Mr. "try restarting everything" strikes again)
