Absolute trash.
This is one of the worst games I've played in recent memory.

First impression?
You're introduced to the game through stuttering menus and loading screens that make you think the game is frozen.
You enter the training mission to find the visuals are completely washed out with reds and oranges and blacks that you can barely make out the environment.
The UI is so janky and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that you can barely make out which button is loot, and then once you loot you can barely read the ammo boxes.
You realise you need to lower all of your graphics to low to get anything about 40fps, and the game that looks like garbage looks even worse now.
You finish the training mission after the worst gunplay in history, and now you have no idea what to do or where to go next, and everything looks like ♥♥♥♥ still.

some of the early missions are kinda easy, but im sick of the Tarkov levels of ambiguity with some quests in games in general, and this game has a bunch of them ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ :boozebottle:

I mean some of it is valid, but also I blame his rig for a bit of it

and then the game does have faults we can criticize ... but the post seems mostly to complain rather than offer constructive criticism, however if its merely venting without condemning or condoning I understand :boozebottle:

Sounds like a "you" issue

Guessing you've only played games that hold your hand throughout the game with eyecancer-indicators for obvious things to click at.

FFS the UI includes a BIG RED BUTTON to loot all, while having sidenotes about which mousclick does what.

If this ain't a troll, its a sad example of a trashy player calling things garbage just because they have been spoiled by soft-modern games doing the thinking for you.

"There's a button here you can click Arisen, how about that loot Arisen"

Even on the lowest graphics setting the ammo is easily readible

I see some valid complaints here, but to call it trash and the worst game ever played is just disingenuous and looks like rage bait.

Sounds like a hardware issue - maybe upgrade your can of worms, then give it another go?

Early Access is a unique development model that allows games to be played as they progress towards a full release. Early Access encourages ongoing updates from developers, while letting players participate in direct feedback through gameplay and community involvement.

Best Practices
These are some of the best practices that can help players when participating Early Access. In general, these are the types of things players should do before making any purchase on Steam.

Know what you are buying - With Early Access games, you are going to be playing a work-in-progress. You should consider what the game is like to play right now. Look at the screenshots and trailers to see what the game looks like in its current state. There are a lot of ways a game can change as it develops over time, so if you aren't excited to play the game in its current state, then hold off and wait until a future update or full release.
Read Early Access information - Prior to releasing a game into Early Access, developers are required to fill out a questionnaire specific to their plan for Early Access. You can visit the storepage of any Early Access game to learn more about this plan (the blue 'Early Access' section below the game's screenshots).
Understand Steam's refund policy - Regardless of a game's Early Access status, the Steam Refund Policy will still apply should you choose to request one.
Get involved and have fun! - Part of what makes Early Access so engaging is the collaboration between players and the development team. Give feedback, participate in discussions, post screenshots, write guides and share your experience with the community.


Are Early Access games eligible for refunds?
Early Access games qualify for refunds the same as other purchases - playtime and date of purchase are both considered.

Can I review an early access game?
Players are encouraged to share reviews about Early Access games. Once the game releases, these reviews will be tagged with 'Early Access', but will still be visible to other players.

How will I know when an Early Access game will be finished?
Its up to the developer to determine when they are ready to leave Early Access. Some developers have a concrete deadline in mind, while others will get a better sense as the development of the game progresses. You should be aware that some developers will be unable to 'finish' their game. So you should only buy an Early Access game if you are excited about playing it in its current state.

Do I have to buy the game again when it releases?
By purchasing, you will gain immediate access to download and play the game in its current form and as it evolves. You will keep access to the game when it moves from Early Access into fully released

I've literally had zero of the issues you've had. For me the game looks amazing and its lots of fun. Sorry you had such a bad time. Maybe your pc doesnt meet the specs?

Sounds like a sub par hardware issue, did you check the minimum requirements and made sure your system is above the minimum? And did you notice the early access notification?
Early access means it is not a finished product, and is still in active development.
On my side performance wise it runs well enough, sure it has bugs and a poor AI implementation but so far it is enjoyable.
I don't even know where to start with this nonsense.

OP has a couple of good points, but mostly he is just ragging on the game and using disingenuous wordiing to attack it...

Safe to say you can ignore everything he says and you won't be missing out on anything.
