As someone who has well over 1,000 hours in this game and has been playing it for like 5 years, I am qualified to say that this game is good (tldr)

But actually here's a more indepth look.

There's different types of games, with Unturnov (spin off of Tarkov) Different Types of Roleplay servers (my fav) and then the vanilla (+) game. Honestly it's a perfect time killer & bonding experience with friends. I've made some of the closest friends on this game.

Development wise, if you're smart you can make mods pretty easily as the game is made in C# (i believe.) Making maps can get complicated with editing pre-existing maps, making NPC's can and will be a hassle for people NOT experienced with development. Much like Minecraft, server hosting is relatively simple.

I've had a fair share of issues that I've emailed Nelson about. He's always responded in a decent amount of time, was always helpful. For a game that has pretty much a singular person behind it, it's pretty amazing how great it is.

For someone wanting to get into something amazing, it's free, only 2.7gb & easily ran, I suggest playing it.

BUT

There are some issues;

The game's graphics look like an unrendered scene in Blender. Gun physics are not realistic, Crafting feels too generic, BattlEye causes issues (sometimes.) The worst of it is that someone with a 3090 will get 27 fps while someone on Intel Iris HD Graphics will get 200 due to the games MAGNIFICENT optimization.

There are fixes though;

You can make the lighting look way better by opening the unturned files, going to preferences.json and setting sky-box ambience to true (something like that, I dont remember off the top of my head.)

Fixing FPS issues can be solved by changing launch parameters (look it up on youtube.)

So my final vote? Great game, absolutely worth the time & effort, hell buy gold while ur at it.


TL:DR, download it, fun game, worth time. idk y i wrote this.
