Cant post a review so here are my thoughts

Basically the cycle with better gunplay, better enemies, PVP where you don't feel like you're going to get 1 shot unless you try to 1v1 someone out in the open. Oh yeah and they have MATCHMAKING.

You have an option to fill squad and you can just start looking for a match and once you get in the match you'll have a full team of 3 no ready up or inviting randoms or searching for teammates or anything. You can invite friends of course but you can also just match with randoms.

Plays like slower Apex with The Cycle mechanics. Also includes crafting and scav runs like tarkov. Basically as many things as they could put in to make it the least awful possible when you die.

Also theres a skill tree. Essentially the more you play the more xp you get from looting and fighting etc. When you level up you get a skill point. You can use that point to increase your stamina, or make yourself quieter when looting, or make yourself harder to detect by ARC's (robots).

Now the bad is the ping. I did not have my performance monitoring on but the whole time the game was giving me latency and packet loss icons any time I was in a match and even at the end the main menu started to lag.

Also could not get VOIP to work for me. I did hear one guy talking once but he had open mic so maybe just PTT doesnt work but I tried everything I could and didnt work for me. However there is a good ping system and emote system which covers all the chat you need. Including contextual pings like danger, need healing, etc.

In summary if they fix the ping, dont touch the gameplay at all (except they'll probably ruin it of course because that's what always happens) and it's free to play, I will play it. I would not pay for it however when I own other extraction shooters. Also if you have to pay for the game and pay for the battle pass it will fail (which it seems you might based on the 3 types of currency; though you do earn the premium currency from levelling up).

So you go on the map. what you exactly looting? and other real players doing the same thing as you? how many? fight them and try get out?

sounds amazing! I wish these bums could give me a key though, I requested access more than a year ago.

A certain amount of three man squads are dropped into a section of the map. You loot random junk to build and upgrade stuff back at a HQ. You encounter robots (of course and which you can loot as well) all the while potentially having to deal with other RL players. You can emote (which also provides a voice over line)
TL;DR Drop into a section of the world (solo or trio) loot and kill arc bots, possibly encounter and combat other players, then attempt to extract in one piece.

The cycle's first iteration was more interesting and fun than this. Also it's gonna be $40 lmao

Hahaha, The Finals has been having the same horrible server issues for a year, and they haven't done anything. They're even avoiding talking about it and banned a bunch of people from Reddit and Discord because they were damaging The Finals' image.

Hey, Embark, **** you very much. :D
