Let me make something clear ....I HATE THIS GAME.

BUT

There's so many Negative reviews by people who cant read let me give you a 100%
honest review. This isn't a sub SCAM game people who have put that as a review need to go and learn to read...
if you have played lif in the past LTG are giving you trial periods to reward you for your previous time played. and how can they take money off you that doesn't exist.
Did you give them any bank details? Nooooo you didn't. Also its a standalone launcher they cant take money from your steam account this way.

This game offers something other games cant not offer at this moment in time to PvP and PvE players.
The graphics are rubbish.
The UI ... Clunky
Is there a tutorial ... Not really but YouTube is there (Every game uses youtube now as other people can save on time and effort) JOIN A GUILD is the best way. Go find them on the LIF discord.
Combat can be a pain but you learn it over time.

This game is not a jump in and play straight away kind of gig.... I've put a lot of hours into this and i am still learning.

So what does the game offer when it looks like it was made for windows 98.....

Community - Playing with others is key to this game, working together to formulate plans on how you will build your fortifications. Being in a guild Discord and talking with 20+ players to work towards the same goals and have a laugh.

Combat - getting into the big battles takes time, But even conducting raids on enemy claims and doing small battles is a rush.

Loot - You either craft it. or fight for it... going out killing an enemy play and stealing there armour and weapons is possibly the best fun i have. This should appeal to anyone from loot extraction gaming communities.

Politics - Yes, you get sucked into the games politics.... Formulating sneaky plans and forming alliances with other gaming communities that are aimed in your guilds progression.

I could go on forever but instead of giving up, Try the game properly.... And if you don't understand DM myself or other veteran players... We want people to play this so we will help.

Old School Skyrim like MMO....

Slow at start and takes a bit of thinking to understand.
Steady progression
No classes - Build your char as you like
Quests are okay kind of like classic WoW you do actually need to read the quest log and there is sometimes a marker.
Appeals more to the old school gamer.

Havent seen the PvP yet but sounds like could be fun....

Tarkov VR... Without cheaters.Win Win

Its Free.... And so far i have no complaints
