Excellent Product and Innovative Idea behind it.

Creating a new breed of game, mixing the blood rushing aspects of Multiplayer / Royale style with PvE / Roguelike tints.

Started a bit rough, but the Crytek team has kept working hard day by day to provide a good experience maintaining it's core gameplay, although it still needs more optimization, bug fixing and netcode proofing mainly to resolve the random disconnecting.

This game has given to my squad and me tons of hours of fun even as an Early Access product, and compared to the other options available (Survivals, Royales, ETC) this sincerely has amazed me since the beginning, specially with the attention to detail by the devs.

To all the people saying that the introduction of "Micro Transactions" are a cash grab and modifies the gameplay, giving users an advantage is FALSE. These "Micro Transactions" are only a cosmetical shortcut to certain weapon skins, if the player does not have the required Level to unlock this weapon, buying this micro transaction only grants 1 free unit of that weapon and since this game has a style of gameplay where you die (a lot) you will lose it, you retain the skin but only until you unlock that weapon at the given Level.

For example, If you are LVL 1 and buy X weapon skin (for a lvl 60 weapon), you get that weapon (1 unit only) and you can use it, but if you die you will need to grind until LVL 60 to buy it again with in game money but also you keep the skin. This premium currency can be acquired by normal playing without extra paying but you need to grind. It's not so OP because also if you enter the game as a naked noobie and kill a player that has this X paid skin and you manage to extract with that gun, you will also keep this weapon until you lose it.

Overall, right now i would give the Devs the benefit of the doubt regarding these "Cash Grab" Techniques, they have worked very hard and it feels that they love the product, so it is a way to pump a bit the revenue without disrupting the normal gameplay, But if in the future this gets out of control and the Pay 2 Win cancer reach to this awesome game, this review will be modified.
