Early Access Review
Apologies for the long review, but it has to be done.

As a big fan of tactical shooters from ArmA 3, Squad and Insurgency, this game has truly put you in the shoes of a soldier going up against an unconventional force in the bloodiest urban combat since the Vietnam War. It truly brings the harsh realities of combat and warfare to us, and how each one of these buildings we see in game, while similar, are very unique. They are unique through environmental story telling, such as:

-barricaded doorways
-weapon stashes in cabinets and fridges
-basements with tunnels of wiring and explosives
-debris and roads in shambles

Through the developers use of environmental story telling and the stories of the brave soldiers and citizens interviewed in the development of this game, we begin to understand how difficult it really was for soldiers in the early days, and even present day, when fighting with an unconventional force such as Al Qaeda and ISIS.

I doubt this will be seen by any veterans or active duty members, but if it is seen by any, I want to thank you for your service and sacrifice to this country. God Bless you all.

Early Access Review
Ready Or Not... the true successor to Ubisoft's now dead franchise Rainbow Six: Siege. I say this jokingly as this game needs to be worked out, but it really brings the realism and tactical decision making back into FPS games.

The Bad

The first problem I have with this game is the connection issues. Me and my buddies will be playing a game and the game will either freeze up when we try to load or it will cause us to lose connection in the middle of a match or joining a lobby. Before I hear the counter of "Your internet is bad", let me downplay this by saying we all are either wired or on 5G networks, alright?

Second issue I have with this game is with the AI. Oh boy there needs to be some work on the AI. I don't think any thug would run into a room with a revolver when 5 operators are breaching in. Not to mention how an AI can tank a 12 gauge buckshot shell to their frontal lobe. I am pretty stupid at times, but nothing compares to how dense their skulls are.

The Good

I love this game. I had so much fun with my friends going into this game. This game promotes and combines the thinking and tactical decisions similar to that of ArmA 3 milsim communities and the close quarters combat areas of Squad. It is so much fun.

I really think the game has potential to be a really awesome game, but the AI and the connection issues need to be prioritized. If Void works these issues out then they are on track to a realistic and tactical shooter that is able to rival Rainbow Six: Siege.

I have always been a fan of Elder Scrolls. From the lore and the story, to the game mechanics that we have today. However, I have never played a MMO RPG before in my life. I never played World of Warcraft or Black Desert, so getting into this game was hard but fun.

The first thing I want to mention is gameplay. Being a first time MMO RPG player, it was all very new to me. The idea of builds and stat building to your character was completely unknown to me as I would always balance out levels, an easy mistake. But besides the character builds, ESO combat is fun and engaging at times. The only thing I would say is weird is how enemies see you fighting their allies yet they won't come and attack you unless you get closer.

The second thing I love about ESO is how the story and the quest is written. You are constantly wondering what will happen if you make a good choice or a bad choice. You never know what is going to happen if you choose one side or the other until it hits you in the face like a fastball coming right back at you.

Final thing for ESO is the graphics. Holy crap it is beautiful. From the snowy terrain of Bleakrock Isle and Eastmarch to the ash covered mountains of Morrowind. This game truly captures the beauty and written description of Tamriel in the Elder Scrolls universe. It is a shame how you cannot visit places like Whiterun and see Dragonsreach. But aside from our blocked access to the Cloud District, the game is beautiful.

I would recommend this game. Whether you are a newbie or a veteran of MMO RPG games, ESO has something for everyone

Dark Souls 2... Oh boy, what is there to say about this game? Well... first and foremost be prepared to die. A LOT.

I am not saying this to discourage people to try it, but it is a very punishing experience. But when you do learn from your mistakes, you will walk as a lion among sheep. You will be able to tackle anything that gets in your way.

Shoutout to my friend Luvenia who told me to stop being a baby ♥♥♥♥♥ and play the game.

Arma 3 is amazing. That is the truth to it.

My reasoning for this is just the endless possibilities in this game. You can create missions, maps, and so mich content for this game. The fact that this game was built for the community is a really great thing. I feel that the support of the community has also grown this game up since it's release.

The community of Arma is also a really great thing. By making ArmA Units, workshop content, and much more, the community has grown a lot. Sure ArmA 3 has its small problems here and there, but by gaining support for this game it has become better.

This game can be easily modified to fit your preference, along with others. You can customize your HUD. You can add mods to enhance and change gameplay, from relaxed to serious. Sure I am writing this review a little late, but this game is constantly changing.

If you are looking for a realistic military simulator, this is it.

SO MUCH FUN! My friend told me about this game for months on end and when I got it I was impressed. Good job Steam and Gaben. One thing I wish they would do more often is more holiday and season updates.
