Extremely fun and unique game. Semi-realistic attention to detail that you usually mostly only find in milsims, in an arcade-y shooter, with an expectation of hilarious friendly fire and explosive mishaps. Usually long missions that make use of communication and map plotting. Honestly, I feel like it ticks the boxes if you wanted to play a milsim but did not want to be saddled with the strict realism milsims tend to replicate and with mission times not in the multiples of hours.

Possible downsides I have is even as a satire, the explicit setting of being embedded in a fascist regime doing pretty horrible things with enthusiasm sometimes gets a little unsettling, but that's only been an issue for me if I'm stretching for a downside.

Also Sony tried to kill the game for a quick boost to PSN registration numbers, presumably to impress stockholders, but backpedaled. So hopefully that never comes back.

Cute and good

A F2P game that follows a stereotypical, terribly designed microtransaction model that immediately puts you up against a pay wall. What is worse is the horrible driving and shooting mechanics.

Damn good, but maybe not as good as the first.

This game is the greatest FPS Loot-fest ever; practically the only one.
