its been out for a year now and those "frequent updates" have not really done much to advance the game in any meaningful way
keep that in mind

I think in general you shouldn't be buying an early access game unless you genuinely want to support the developers first and foremost. Otherwise just wait till it's finished.

I played it on launch and it was a pile of shit (unfortunately) and refunded it after 3 hours

my experience is from 6-8+ months ago so its probably outdated
>100GB or so to install, I personally hate the game just for this alone, unreal how can this dogshit could ever be 100GB in filesize like it's a call of duty or something
>cool atmosphere but repetitive
>graphically demanding
>kinda linear once u get the gist of it
i tried to refund but 2 weeks already passed and I got fucked, unistalled and forgotten

If you have a high tolerance for crust/jank then it's got some good ideas but there's no real sign of that being polished out.

>100GB
Thats insane. The maps were tiny and there were like 6 different enemies

I'd wait until it has more content and alot more polish and then see if you're still interested then, it's very repetitive and janky at the moment.

From someone with close to 100 hours in it, it's in a really weird spot where everything is great except the actual gameplay which is kinda shit. Shooting feels bad, the recoil is way off, movement is floaty. But the music, design and atmosphere is top notch. One of the new games I can think of where they need to outsource the actual gameplay to another studio that knows what they're doing, because at the moment it's a bunch of artists and graphic designers with really cool ideas that tried to make a video game.

I would recommend giving it at least another year to cook before checking it out, but if you have a strong stomach for jank, the gameplay loop is there and there's plenty of content and fun to be had.

Optimization is generally good too on most maps now. A couple are still Streets of Tarkov-tier though.
