Early Access Review
Terrible in-game workshop system, I don't understand why they decided to remove the Steam Workshop support that already existed in ArmA 3 which worked wonders. The issue with ArmA Reforger, in general, is the fact that it has been released very, very early in development and lacks fundamental features. Unless they are willing to spend a couple of years (I am talking at least until 2025) to develop ArmA 4, it is not going to be a good experience early on.

The game is very raw, some features are nice (no context menu, interactions take over) but there are a few removed features from previous ArmA series. The game needs way more development, possibly years, to become properly playable.
The performance jump from previous ArmA games are not as high as one might expect, it's a bit better, yes, but unacceptable for 2022 standards. Graphic fidelity wise, it's no different.

TL:DR

Bring back Steam Workshop.

Update 16.11.2023:

I honestly think the game is in a much better state nowadays, it is obvious that Bohemia is going for a "modding first" approach as opposed to delivering the content themselves. It is quite good actually. They have significantly fixed and improved most problems that were prevalent in the first version of this review.

The only downside is there is still no Steam Workshop implementation, ArmA 4 MUST, MUST have one.
