Theres not much that I can say that really adds to what has already been said. Performance issues were expected and publicly noted by the devs, so while yes its good right now, we were told in advance. Imo it would have been best to call it a beta on release than to delay or just release as is.

The game looks really nice and the features are promising. There are a few basic things such as lack of control over road flattening that annoys me, but im pretty sure these are things that can be easily solved. Buildings for services are also quite massive so things like the university should have smaller variants, otherwise its a bit hard to fit them into places. Happy to finally have the game though, even with its problems, and its looking to have a lot of potential once the nasty performance issues are cleaned up.

Perfect game for yer average macro enjoyer!

Being real though, I've followed progress on this game for a while now and am really happy with the result. Its a simple way to relieve stress and have some fun with big lads. Art style is really cute and throwing cars around is always fun.

The biggest 'downside' so far is the small size of the map. Id love to see some sort of large open world in the future, but its literally just released so its not a huge issue :) Cant wait to see more development from this game.

War Thunder used to be quite a fun game. Early tanks and mid tier tanks provide a lot of good combat for both arcade and realistic players. Had an absolute blast playing this game through my first years and it continued to stay in my library.

Recently the game has felt more and more pay to win, with the 'fun' of playing being taken away as even a round with one or two kills can set you in negative currency. Along with this, I was a casual player and only made it up to rank VI in a singular tech tree. Unless you have all the time in the world, there is no reason to start playing as past a certain point there is little to no progression without paying to speed up.

Custom battles can be fun for hide and seek or games with friends, which was the only surviving reason that kept the game installed on my computer for a while, but you would still need to grind in order to have a variety of vehicles to play as in the custom servers.

Of course this update brings one of the largest island areas in Stormworks. You'd think that it's size would be an issue, however they have packed a ton of effort into the buildings and scenery. The new locations look really cool and the miles of train track have a lot of potential going forward!

I would heavily recommend adding this to your library as it expands a lot of the game!

I personally don't have a microphone but still have found this game to be an amazing source of fun. Depending on the server you are able to either do your own solo run or team up with a squad. The communication aspects, even without speaking, are quite amazing.

You will especially like this game if:
-You like the idea of teamwork and have fun working with a group.
-Like the idea of both CQC and long range combat.
-Have a love for the fog of war, as you can easily be in close contact without knowing.
-Are fine with not always being in combat.

A few notes:
-The maps are big enough to give a wide variety of areas to visit, but still small enough where you can run across the map in reasonable time. Along with this, with the change in battle you may even get enemy contact while staying back and fortifying a base. Its a really nice balance.
-To start, try being a medic. Being a medic allows you to focus on building trust with your team and gives you plenty of experience running around during heavy combat. Along with this, since you are healing others, you dont have to be instantly good at the shooting mechanics.
-All systems, even mortars, are pretty easy to use. Often ive seen squad leaders even offer assistance during battle for those who have never used one. The only big learning curve id say is anti tank weapons and bullet drop.
-Have fun! If you have a mic make sure to laugh with your team. Especially at the start of a round it is always fun with people playing music or doing shenanigans. Ive never really felt disappointed after loosing a battle. You almost always have fun either way, winning is just an extra thing.

Downsides? Ive not found many so far in my limited play time. The only big issue ive personally experienced is some stuttering, though ive heard that it may be due to a recent graphics update. Lastly, make sure to pick a good server, as that can heavily influence the organization and experience overall.
