One of the few AAA games thats actually optimized in 2025. Running at 100+ FPS @1440P on ultra settings with zero issues and using the latest Nvidia drivers and without using frame gen

In regard to the reviews about queue times. The queue times are temporary and are still moving relatively quick. I started at 370k then within 10ish minutes I was in the game no problems. If they had allowed all 500K+ people in at once the servers would literally crash. They are doing a staggered entry for all players for a reason

Game play is pretty good so far and I really like the UI but the optimization needs work. You kind of have to use frame generation to get decent frames.

Without frame generation DLSS, I get less than 60 FPS. Probably around 35-45 FPS on high settings at 1440p. With DLSS set to balanced, I get around 90-100 FPS.

Devs should not have to lean on frame generation as an excuse for lack of optimization. Going to keep the game since I like Borderlands but I would probably wait for more patches for performance

this game is a monkey's paw. incredibly fun and well thought out with plenty of content currently and regularly released that can be earned entirely without spending a dime and theres no FOMO.

but it runs like complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with no regard to even basic optimization. even the highest end rigs struggle to run this game at a basic frame rate. you have people with 4090s and 5080s that can barely manage 60 FPS because this game is built on spaghetti code and the devs simply refuse to acknowledge or even attempt any form of optimization

A spiritual successor with very high potential to the Wargame series. The combat is so far very smooth and feels right at home with the previous titles and much of the QoL improvements that were promised are already in the game that makes this title easy for newcomers and veterans alike.

This game has something for everyone. Want to just hop in for a quick match without sweating too much? The AI is significantly better than WG:RD's AI which is basically the classic 'spam' dumb AI. This title's AI proves to be challenging and actually makes great moves as seen in SD:2 but with likely slight improvements and I'm sure more to come.

I am personally glad that the devs are focusing on divisions rather than nations and putting a hard cap on units at 1989, it certainly makes balancing a bit more interesting and perhaps easier. Many useless deck building features from WG:RD are now gone and replaced such as the 'VEHICLE' tab and the QoL changes can also be seen here too. It's also worth noting that the values here are different that what you will see in WG:RD so also keep that in mind.

While I am still exploring WARNO, the combat feels very smooth and doesn't feel off at all. It feels just like WG:RD and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you are coming from that particular title, it should be noted that everything is scaled differently in WARNO. Combat ranges are different but otherwise should feel relatively comfortable. Damage values are also different which should also be taken in to account. Unit speeds, on the other hand, do feel pretty fast. Compared to WG:RD, my armored column was able to make it to the front from spawn point in mere seconds. However, I do believe that this will be addressed as many are talking about it.

My other gripe is the subpar UI design both in-game and the armory to be specific, this can be easily fixed and adjusted. It's not game breaking in anyway at all, just somewhat distracting. In-game camera is a bit distracting too as I try to point the camera downward, it seems to keep re-adjusting on its own to the default position.

While it is an early access title, the devs have stated that they will be regularly adding updates throughout up until official launch which includes maps and new divisions (nations, units, etc). As someone with nearly 900 hours in WG:RD, I can easily recommend this title as it's only going to get better from here on out. If the lack of content at this current moment is a turn-off for you then I would advise to wait a little bit until more content gets thrown in, but for $30 it's not too bad.

Solid game play and customization. Everything is unlocked for you at the start. Only gripe is the weird camera controls.
