I've played the Open Beta and Closed Beta 2 for the entire duration of both, and every time they ended I asked myself "what now?" - I just couldn't wait for the final release.
The developers consistently communicate through their Discord server, fix bugs pretty quickly and listen to the players' feedback. When faced with the glorious TFLA0004 error code (aka banned) for 3 days straight, an Embark employee contacted me on Discord and manually fixed it for me. It really shows how dedicated and passionate they are about this game and its community.

Gameplay wise you have LOTS of destruction (more than any Battlefield), you're constantly fighting so you'll never need to run around for hours to find an enemy team, matches are quite short, the weapons are very different from one another (unlike CoD games where they have more or less the same recoil, fire rate and precision), great customisation for both your character and equipment and multiple builds fitting more or less any playstyle.

There are a few things I don't really like though, such as invisibility, sentry turrets and the dome shield (like Apex's Gibraltar, but smaller.)

Definitely recommend it, it's incredibly fun and very unique.

Dusty_Embark, you're the GOAT.

A very very sweet and relaxing, albeit very short, game with a story that unfolds as you grow up, from 1997 to 2018.
The game has very little text, the uniqueness of it is that the story is narrated through the items you unpack after each move. With a sprinkle of imagination you'll fill in the gaps and give the story your own personal touch.

Good simulation of my life, 5/5

I never was into D&D or CRPGs. Could be because of the turn based combat, the whole "throw the dice" system that's omnipresent from start to finish, or because I thought that speccing and finding the right build for your character was a massive headache. None of that mattered in the end. These prejudices, these "cons" I had quickly turned into qualities I now seek when choosing my next game to play. I grasped the basics of BG3 during my very first fight and never felt the need to use a single guide (be it for my gear or the gameplay in general.)

Seriously, trust the Metacritic score and the Steam reviews.
I never play a game twice, even the games I consider to be my absolute favourite. This being said, I'll now start my second playthrough.

Good new content, cheers Malcs.

This pre-alpha is pretty good, do we have a release date?

I wanted to give OW2 another go, but this predatory monetisation and the recent changes made to competitive points made me immediately uninstall it. This game is a flat out insult to old and new players alike.

This game is in early access, costs less than 15€ and is still more polished and enjoyable than any other FPS AAA game out there. Haven't encountered any major bugs or lag while playing in a huge map with more than 250 players, with vehicles and destructible environment.

It's made by 3 developers by the way. AAA devs have no excuse.

Basically unplayable on modern hardware.
Tried for an entire afternoon to make it work, with mods, community made fixes and so much more, it still lags and stutters like crazy.

Avoid Nexon.
Been playing this game since 2010, and I can safely say that the cons outweigh the pros.
