A cute cartoony racing game exists
Everybody gangsta
...Until you find out that kansei dorifuto and clutch kicking are kinda needed to get a good result.

ETS2 is love, ETS2 is life. Plus it got tons better with a steering wheel!

Though not without its own flaws, in my opinion DoI is the pinnacle of WWII shooter in FPS genre so far, with great balance between realism and fun.

* Gunplay is awesome, all weapons kick like a mule and doesn't tell you remaining bullet in mag in HUD.
# Hence, recoil control and ammo management are vital (as are soldiers IRL).

* Players have unforgivingly low health and almost always OHK (except for smaller calibre weapons)
# Run-and-gun like a headless chicken, I dare you.

* Each weapon type has very distinct advantages / disadvantages, and as a result the pacing of the game is just right.
# Players gradually learn how to best use their weapons in different situations, and hence get to understand their respective roles.

* hitscan bullet physics that WORKS well with the game considering the scale of combat in DoI.
# No side-strafing-bullet-dodging-moon-walking bu11sh1ts from BF4 / BF1.

* Audio is very immersive, definitely something else for a game at this price.
# First timers will be scarred by the impacts of artillery / incoming sprays of MG42 / screams of people being burnt alive.

* Per-round credits for purchasing weapons/attachments/gadgets ensure that players with good performance will be recognized and awarded.
# Well, this is not new since Insurgency already had it, but still, a great game design that rewards players with actual experience (not solely number of hours clocked into the game with some 'unlocked attachments').

* The devs of this game actively listen to the players and adjust the map balance pretty quickly.
# Though no amount of balancing in Dog Red is enough when you have cr4ppy officers / radiomen on the US side - but hey, it's normandy after all.

* Mod community is also very active.
# Not satisfied with certain elements in the game? Browse the workshop for possible existing tweaks.

* Graphics is upper bound by the Source engine but it's compensated by the artwork and proper use of lighting.
# It doesn't look half bad at all, to be honest.


* And most importantly, when your teammates play their role right and coordinate together, fighting alongside your comrades and earning that well-deserved victory, you'll know that this is a FPS game THAT ACTUALLY HAS DEPTH IN IT.
# It doesn't happen every round since great teams are hard to come by, but when the stars align you'll want to come back for more, I guarantee.

Seriously, scr3w those games that has poor game mechanics / map designs / bloating 'features' and only 'realistic' graphics as its redeeming factor. DoI does not spoil the players, it educates them in a serious but fun way.

More people should know and play this game.

Quite a VN with novel game mechanism, adorable characters and countless reference/memes that kept me entertained & determined!
Honestly lost it when 2 animal clients mentioned about certain organization they're building...
Am about to do a NG+ play very soon for all the achievements!

P.S. Best Boss ever!

My printscreen button is broken now
10/10 worth it

This game does not natively supports any anti-aliasing, but with any cards like 960 and above you can probably just go with enabling 4k res (DSR in Nvidia term) and make some candy to your eyes. Damn the game aged beautifully - despite the online community is mostly gone now plus the cutscenes. The handling is arcady like burnout but that doesn't mean the game needs no practice to excel. As for the absence of car customization system, NFS did not have that until the 7th instalment and I came from NFS2 era so I am fine with that.
