Despite the indicated hours I have been playing CS since the early versions. The core game play is still there and good. Unfortunately the game is still plagued by rampant ghosting via discord and suspiciously good players. AWP on office maps, people crouching with negev lmg on permanent fire.... a frustrating experience, probably best enjoyed as with friends or on a LAN.

An amazingly different game, great fun with friends and public servers. Lots of interestings mods and online game modes as well as single player.

Edit: Over time unfortunately more troll/spaceship13 type players have arrived, many servers are basically badly organised chaos. Many times joining a public server is an utter waste of time. Best played with people you know.

This game is not perfect but it is quite a fun and immersive experience. The game loading times, dynamic sound design and scenery are very good. The robots and back story will be enjoyable to anyone who is a fan of terminator movies and the gameplay is similar to dayz in a way. Having a field full of robots notice you are there and engage in combat still makes my hair stand on end. I suspect there will be a lot of replayability from this game. On the downsides the AI can be dumb at times.

Edit: Having come to accidently complete the end mission of the game, it is rather buggy.

I find the game entertaining and challenging. Reminiscent of the old Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space (BARIS) but updated with modern graphics and systems. The game is fun, interesting and educational space race strategy game. The in mission puzzles are initially fun but can get repetative, if you don't like this you can auto-resolve most the puzzles. Also the vessel building is simplified compared to KSP, you basically join together booster, upper stage and mission payload, with some upgrades.

A fun if complex game. Great with friends.

This is an amazing game but with significant flaws. There is a definite bias towards DLC units, the multiplayer chat in game is quite toxic but worst of all the game was left by its developers many years ago with imbalance, bugs and a terrible AI that cheats. The game doesn't appear to feature multiplayer game state consistency checking, hence desyncs in multiplayer are a common occurance.

Edit 2021, upgraded to a 5800x, fresh windows install no overclock... game still crashes :/

I would say this is a cracking game, but it isnt. Its a great simulator. I find the handling in game pretty close to several track days I have done and AC has improved my real life handling of cars at the limit. My only complaint is the sounds aren't perfect, but they do appear to be getting better with the newer cars.
