Game does not function when connection to tripwire servers cannot be made, i'm not even talking about perk progression being disabled (which without a connection; it's disabled), i'm talking about the fact that even if you wanted to play perk 0 forever in single-player, you can't - without a connection to the tripwire servers this game is a complete paperweight that you can't do anything with whatsoever.

Funny how they don't mention backend server dependency anywhere huh?

Beware prospective buyers, you probably only have a few more years out of this before they unsurprisingly shut down their servers for it.

Have always loved this game and would absolutely change this review if they offer client side stats and fix their ♥♥♥♥, but unfortunately its a no recommend at this stage.
