Arena Breakout: Infinite is like Tarkov lite, it's for anyone that just wants to jump in and blast away without too much of a headache if one at all. No crazy grind or hours spent trying to figure stuff out. You just load up, drop in, grab loot, and generally have a good time. Matches are fast, dying isn’t a big deal, and it’s super easy to get started.

PROS:
- Quick matches, zero stress. Jump in and go.
- Perfect for solos and newcomers with different game modes and even straight up Solo mode and in game maps (no wiki needed)
- Free-to-play and runs super smooth

CONS:
- Not as deep or sweaty as Tarkov, so hardcore gamers might get bored.
- There’s not much to grind besides seasonal missions
- Fewer maps and complex systems, but it’s getting updated.
- "Cooler" or higher tier skins are all locked behind pretty expensive microtransactions (gacha/gamble system)

TLDR; If you want to chill, loot, and shoot with no "real" stress, this is a good choice. ABI just lets you get into a game and play so fast its nice, plus its overall pretty fun.
Definitely a must try if you are into extraction shooters.

***IMPORANT NOTE: I have about 150 hours of in game time on ABI but through their own launcher so it doesn't show on Steam***

This is the greatest video game to ever be made

Lost Ark was very cool at first, but this game is a straight-up time sink. If you’re not playing every day, grinding dailies, and chasing constant upgrades, you’ll get left behind fast. It seriously feels like having a second job—gotta run your “homework,” dailies, weeklies, and raids just to keep up.

Trying to get into parties for endgame raids? Forget it unless you’re always up-to-date which is nearly impossible for most people. People won’t even take you if your gear is lagging behind theirs (Which most people swipe or RMT anyway so will always be higher) or if you haven’t done all the endless chores to stay at the minimum level for new content. Playing casually is pretty much impossible (at least for me). The grind is wild and that's putting it lightly, and seeing your character's item levels stay stagnant weeks at a time while grinding it out every day gets very old, real quick.

If you’re not ready to commit a huge chunk of your life to this game, don’t bother. Not recommended for anyone who wants to have fun.
