Welcome to the next generation of horde-clearing FPS shooter developed by a Swedish studio Fatshark. Similar to L4D and VT2 you and your squad move from A to B while "cleansing" the heretics and completing various objectives.

I started playing just after the Anniversary update landed (pre-twins) and I feel like it was game's peak time during the past 4-5 months (healthy playerbase, active discords, etc.). At this point, I am very close to 100% the game (cosmetic penances are complete, achievements are about to be complete). I feel like after 300+ hours I can provide a fairly comprehensive review of this game.

The good:
- Shooting \ melee combat is among the best FPS games out there
- Visual design is top-notch
- Maps and arenas are really well-designed
- Cosmetics are mostly cool looking (both free and premium)
- Game runs quite well and I did not experience any stutters or frame drops except very few cases

The debatable \ mediocre:
- Servers and their stability (mostly related to anything about "loading" into the ship hub zone and lag spikes during gameplay)
- Crossplay with xbox players (sadly no option to turn it off)
- FOMO rotation paid-cosmetics shop (it would be much better if it had a "core" collection of skins and "rotating" part instead of all being on a "rotation")
- Friendly bot ai is dumb as hell (worse than enemy ai)

The bad:
- Anything related to crafting and starting out a build (very grind heavy)
- The cool cosmetics that were released and never returned for a rotation (only their reskins\ variants, but no the 1:1)
- The communication from devs and poor patches in 2024.
- Total absence of in-game events.

PS.
For me, its a recommendation, but I can see why so many of forum folk are upset about the current state of this game, for now I will put a thumbs up, BUT the content part of the game DOES need improvement.
