It's a good game since it's free, unlike Escape from Tarkov and it uses "ACE" which is a fantastic anticheat every Delta Force player is very fond of. It would have been even better if there was a manual stra.ngle button that I could use on cheaters after reporting them. They ruin your game, then come on Steam or Reddit and leave comments like "huh noob", "lol skill issue," or "oh I've never met a cheater in my life," while running private cheats and macros every day. They play together and do closet when playing solo. I know everything about them mfs*. sry for my lang but I hate those losers. To the new players, don't play games with ACE anticheat if you already have EAC or Vanguard installed. It will give issues. It used to leave files running even after uninstalling the game, now they say they fixed it, but God knows what's happening behind the scenes. The game itself is dope which is why I am recommending it. Also, I play on my brother's computer, so it is his problem. I just install anything, play for a few and then run away. (best strategy so far)

The game still installs root kit anit cheat and it runs on ur comptuer all the time what kind of joke is this? kernel-level-anti-cheat this is unaceptable. Its a mobile knock off of escape from tarkov. That has even less content and less to do. They left pay to win thermals in the game and have almost now way to keep new players away from the try hards than been playing for over year

Don't get me wrong this game isn't that bad. It's just too casual for me. Normally I am a Tarkov player who was searching for an alternative game and yes ABI can be a good alternative... but not for me. I would recommend this game to casual players but not for Tarkov players that's the short version. Now the long version: This game literally has no progression system besides getting to lvl 30 and after that brainlessly PvP'ing in TV Station. You know, Tarkov has actual objective such as getting the Kappa Container and getting prestige after that, making you being able to play Tarkov for lots of hours. But ABI... yeah. After you become lvl 30 you have no objective to do. Quest system is nearly unnecessary beside getting Basic VIP (which is really good for a game to give you free vip, even it's the lesser good version). There is no Hideout and its progression, no skill system like Endurance, Strength in Tarkov which would've encouraged us to play the game longer just to get that max skills and maxing our Hideout to craft better items or even increasing our stats (like in Delta Force, I really like Delta Force's Hideout system). But the biggest problem is that this game hasn't getting wiped a single time. It literally released today as I wrote this review and we didn't even get a wipe for the "BIG" release of this game. If you want new players to come and try the game, you would need to either wipe the game so everyone can start from scratch at the same time to prevent unbalanced gear differences OR you would need to limit the gear for the Lockdown Zone as well. As I write this review (I couldn't try the new season yet so I will change my review as soon as I try that. So my review is based on previous update before the release) the new players can only experience Normal Zone which has gear limits so they would have a chance fighting veterans. But if they would want to go to Lockdown Zone or even to Forbidden Zone, they won't be able to compete with veterans who have TONS of money in their stash with being able to enter to raids with T5-T6 gear forever without the concern of running out of money. Forbidden Zone is fine since it's the highest difficulty and rewarding zone so it's natural to being able to enter to that mode with whatever gear you want but Lockdown Zone that should've another story like Normal Mode but no, you can also enter to Lockdown with whatever gear you want and that's not a good decision in my opinion for new players and casuals. The map has NO loot except hot zones, locked rooms and bosses. In Tarkov, you could at least loot any container to get some loot and sell on Flea Market but in ABI you need to rush those that I mentioned before, especially for safe containers. This gives new and casual players even more disadvantage against rich veteran players because this forces everyone to go those hot zones, locked rooms, safe containers and bosses therefore they would need to fight each other and obviously, veteran players who can go T5-T6 gear all the time have a significantly high advantage against T4 new and casual players. While veterans grind more and more money, casual players are struggling to even keep their 5-10m in their stash, forcing them to play more budget friendly kits. The ability to put ammo in safe containers should also be removed because everyone is playing yellow ammo with 1-2 mags because reloading mags in this game, unlike Tarkov is extremely fast you can even reload your gun without even removing the mag. If they've wiped the game, I wouldn't need to write most of these. So don't expect keeping new players and casual players playing this game for a long time because they would uninstall the game after seeing those T5-T6 veterans in Lockdown and Forbidden Zone. So either bring all maps to Normal Zone as well or bring a gear limit to Lockdown Zone with max of a gear between T4-T5.

Incredible game. All the fun of Tarkov without the BS (from in-game cheaters to IRL $$$ BS - I don't need to elaborate if you're a Tarkov player). In addition to removing the BS, they've added a TON of Quality-of-Life improvements that make inventory management and general gameplay way more intuitive and easy to jump into. I'm a completely F2P player and none of the monetization has interfered with my ability to enjoy all elements of this game. If anything it's one of the most generous F2P games I've played. 9/10

cant play solo until you unlock it, I am anti-social.

Anti-consumer, prepare for your account to be removed without warning. I was banned for 10 years with no proof, no explanation, and zero chance to appeal.

Basically booooooooooooringgggg ~ toxic masculinity ~ no lgbt+ ~ no pride flag ~ no woman ~ no queer ~ no gender ~ no pronounce ~ no sex ~ no parkour ~ no achievements ~ bullet doesnt feel connected ~ world feels empty ~ face doesnt exploded after few bullets in ~ just a pure shoot and extract game with no skills or power In conclusion, ill stick with delta force.

All they needed to do is copying delta force still they failed to do so. They removed red ammo from the market but u can still buy red armor/helmet such a joke this is. Season quests asks u to search unsearched in a specified area so basically if u spawn on the other side of the map u just insta quit and try again, specifically in northridge where it is running simulator. Season missions in general are u just randomly designed without any thought to it. And the funny thing is the prices are higher than delta force. Menu still laggy makes u wanna uninstall, if u cant fix the menu lag fix the prices between the market and contacts so we dont have to use the laggy menu as much.

this game is a more fun tarkov with english speaking and QoL features like A MAP and ability to SEE TEAMMATES

Playing recently on their platform. It's like an easier tarkov that respects your time. Yes it has some flaws, but there aren't spells like in Delta Force, and it doesn't require level 42 (100 or more quests) to get all the gear like in tarkov.

An extraction shooter with an identity crisis. Promotes realism but went the cod route with revive potions, goofy skins and heartbeat monitors. Market also doesn’t make any sense because the devs control the prices as it’s not player driven. Looks and runs great but the many flaws show they didn’t make it their own they just did a mash up of games without doing anything better than others in the genre.

95% of the playerbase dont know how to use a mouse and keyboard. every singular fight on most map usually consists of either being crossmap sniped by a guy whos practically naked in the corner of the map with tier6 - tier7 ammo in a sniper or you're 1v4ing against a full team who will have better gear, better positioning, better angles, better timings and will just overall have every single advantage known to man. AND THEY WILL STILL NEVER CONTEST YOU. THEY WONT DO SHIT. they will just sit there and spam you with 50 fucking grenades while pixel peeking every few minutes because they're absolutely terrified of actually fighting someone normally. NOBODY in this game pushes you. NOBODY in this game even tries to actually play aggressively its so unbelievably sad. even though they could be sitting on like 500mil+ stash value, they're still too scared to actually fight or do anything. which inturn, keeps them playing the same way forever as they NEVER improve at all. they just play to watch a number go up. thats it. how is that fun?????? how do people enjoy that? WHY DOES ACTUALLY QUITE LITERALLY 90% OF THE PLAYERBASE PLAY LIKE THAT? the movement is fast paced the guns have 0 recoil the ttk rewards actual good aimers the mechanics reward genuine skill AND YET EVERYONE CHOOSES TO PLAY LIKE A RETARD? ontop of all of this, THE GAME IS RUNNING ON 19 TICK SERVERS. YES. 19 TICK. THAT IS SLOWER THAN FUCKING MINECRAFT MULTIPLAYER. which means the hitreg is BEYOND DOGSHIT. there have been countless times where i have been using some of the best ammo in the game and i proceed to headshot people 4 - 5+ times WHILE THEY'RE WEARING HELMETS THAT SHOULD DIE IN 1 - 2... and they just eat it. they literally just eat it and walk it off like nothing happened. i have about 30 clips of me actually FACEFUCKING PEOPLE and them just simply not dying at all. the pvp in this game is actually so unbelievably bad in so many unreal ways dude. this is coming from someone who has over 2k and has quite literally topped the OCE leaderboards multiple times, while also being one of the most feared players in the entire region. i genuinely dont think i could find a more miserable fps game on the market. you will just get penalized most of the time for actually trying to aimduel people or trying to genuinely be better than someone. like i can legitimately assure to you that i have better aim, better movement, better gamesense, better mechanics, better everything overall. and i will just lose to a kid who simply gets lucky. thats it. i will just lose to actual RNG or desync. i have clipped all of my past deaths in the past 4 weeks. and im not even kidding when i say this........ 80% of them werent even my fault at all. like i literally did nothing wrong. i had perfect positioning. played the best i possibly could. genuinely outaimed and outskilled the enemy team perfectly. and yet i just either lose to hitreg or i lose because a kid quite literally just got good rng. like the amount of times i have practically insta-died to tier4 ammo WHILE IM IN FULL TIER6. IS INSANE....... but meanwhile i can quad headshot someone with 995's out of a long barrel h416 while they're wearing a t4 facemask and they'll just tank it because they're clearly better than me at the game 👍 skill doesnt matter in gaming anymore.

Doesn't support Linux

Review after 1100+ hours. This game is currently THE BEST SOFTCORE extraction looter shooter on the market. However, some of the devs' decisions are really questionable, for example: - increasing HP on the head and sometimes being able to survive lethal shots or getting downed when you have 0hp on chest and sometimes even on head lol (I guess it's reasoned by devs' softcore vision) - Audio is just okay, like it could be better. Weapons are the most affected, because they sound like PLASTIC??? In some scenarios, it is hard to detect if the enemy is behind or in front of you - bot-pmcs on lockdown; when you're beginning the game on low levels and low risk mode, this is a nice addition for learning the game, but sometimes you encounter them on mid-tier mode, and it could be annoying ABI defends itself with AMAZING OPTIMIZATION; zero lags, stutters, frame drops, even on sh*tty Intels, but GRAPHICS look amazing despite the lowest settings you can set. GREAT GUNPLAY; weapons feel powerful and impactful. MARKET is well balanced; no wipe mechanic is regulated by devs who are monitoring prices, and when something is way too overpriced, they add items at lower prices to avoid manipulation, so this is a PERFECT solution for non-sweaty/employed people. Scav runs, a lot of events, and free money that you can earn prevent getting broke. ANTI-CHEAT surprisingly works VERY WELL, and for every death caused by a cheater, you receive compensation worth all your loot at the time of death (WOW). The amount of QoLs is absurd, too. Overall, if you want to try or play chill extraction gameplay without losing your time in queue or buying a nasa pc (tarkry), this is the best game currently on the market.

fix your keybinds and i will fix my review as a lefty gamer i should not have any issue remapping something as simple as my fucking inventory button along side other keybinds that i just cant remap for whatever reason....... like please tell me what makes my inventory key impossible to remap to another key?

I have 30,000 hours on the official launcher version of this game. I can safely say its great fun dying to chinese cheaters A++ title

I payed it on the standalone launcher and the same glaring issues remain. The MAIN problem I have with this game is there is little to no Ambiance in the background. This experience makes me appreciate games such as 'Gray Zone Warfare for the Non-Instanced play and way more of a realistic feel. ABI feels like an Arcade game.

I have 400 hours in the launcher version. This is literally tarkov but with QoL improvements to raise the skill floor a little bit. Theres an actual map in game and theres less inertia than Tarkov but it is otherwise the same game. The maps are clearly based off tarkov. If you like Tarkov but think BSG don't know what theyre doing, give this a shot.

Got stuck in a sandbag on TV Station, then got naded by an enemy while I couldn't move. Great game, definitely a Tarkov competitor in terms of being a shit game.

Started as the "EFT alternative with P2W but F2P", became gacha COD copycat with revives, heartbeat sensors and intel radios that shows you the location of other players. With more cheaters and bot PMC's than real players in raids.

No as good as Delta Force and feeling like a cheap clone. Lack controller support also a huge minus.

Cheater infested allready xd i played 30 mins and just quit.

Played this game since early season 2, have around 150 hours on it before steam launch Short review: This game is terrible. Anti-cheat doesn't work, almost every raid has cheaters. They give favoritism to streamers, only compensating them for cheaters, not normal players. They intentionally partner with streamers who have been caught hacking. The balance is non-existent, and there are no wipes so if you're new, get ready to go against players with 500m+ money running the best gear all the time the market is disgusting, everything is 3x the price it used to be. Long review: The game as a tier system for ammo and armor. So t4 ammo can kill t4 armor in 2-3 hits, but t3 ammo will take 6-8 hits (at least). Each tier armor has higher durability, up to T6 armor and t7 ammo. This system is so stupid and unbalanced. AR weapons only have up to T5 ammo, snipers have up to T7. You get heavily rewarded for running a good gun with good ammo and nothing else, then sitting in a corner and waiting for someone with good armor to run buy, 1 tap them in the head, then steal their armor. They call this "ratting" and it's pretty common and extremely annoying. You build weapons more around the ammo it uses than the actual gun itself. The guns aren't balanced at all. Pick the ammo you want and the gun with the highest fire rate that uses that ammo, then buy the most expensive attachments for it. Pretty much the only logic this game uses. It is more in-depth than that, but that is the basic idea. For example the M4A1 and the H4A1 are basically the same gun in every way, except the m4 is 750rpm and the H4 is 900. The H4 is completely broken lmao. The TTK in this game is so low as to be laughable as well, 2-3 hits at 900rpm means you're dead before you can even react most of the time. There are 3 main modes, Normals, Lockdown, and Forbidden. Normals is the "entry" mode with a gear value cap, however that cap is very easily bypassed with tricks, and the cap is too high for an "entry" mode, but because everything on the market is so expensive, they don't have much choice. You can easily bring in a maxed out meta gun with no armor, kill the first player you see and take their armor. When you first play the game, you might complain about "all these matches are AI bots!" but trust me, when they stop doing that to you, the game gets 1000% worse because now you have the people with 500+ hours in the game with 500m+ money in the bank and they do NOT care about ruining your "newbie matches" with the most expensive items they can bring into your raids and pub stomping you until you uninstall. What is the difference between the modes? The spawn rate of higher value items, however, the big money in this game is mostly made from killing players. Imagine if Tarkov leaned way more into PVP. The map designs are not good. Every map has "hotspots" where locked doors with safes are, or free safes. These safe locations never change. You have a map that marks where these safes are. Every raid is "run to the safe area/hotspot and pvp". You can avoid these areas on some maps, but the loot is just not good anywhere else. (example, a safe has a decent chance of spawning "Red" items with values between 1.5m and 20m for the most rare. Everywhere else your big money items are in the 50k-200k range, but those are also rare). On top of that, in the "normals" mode, only the first 2 maps are able to be played, you have to go into the uncapped gear value modes to play the other maps, and thats when you run into people with the best most expensive gear, or people hiding in bushes with a sniper and the best ammo and nothing else. It's just really, really, really, dumb. There is a system to automatically match with other players, but it's really janky. Half the time you get put with no one, and the other half you get team mates that have no interest in playing as a team and just run off and do whatever they want, basically just using you as bait. If their team mate dies, well then they know where other players are, but they have rarely any interest in actually playing with you. On top of that there is no way to force "Only put in a raid if I have team mates" so you get solo raids a whole bunch of times while all other teams are 4 players (usually 4-5 teams per match, any of those teams could be 1-4 players, but for some reason they love putting 1 solo player against 3 full teams). The worst aspect of this game though is the cheaters. There are so. Many. Cheaters. Their aint-cheat is called ACE which i think must stand for "Always Cheaters Everywhere" because the problem is so bad, it's the worst out of any game i've ever played. If you watch streamers of this game, whenever they report a cheater, a few hours later they will get an in-game mail that the cheater has been banned and they send the money value of whatever they lost to the cheater. However, if you are not a streamer, you will almost never get this message. You saw a dude speed hacking or flying and they flick snap 1shot you across the map, then you reported them and thought "oh i'll get compensated like the streamers!" but no, this is a lie, you will not, and the person will not get banned. Good luck. What is the point of a kernel level anti-cheat when it never works? Want to talk about the market? It's a free player based market. Some items you can buy from in-game vendors, but the good items you have to buy from the market. There is an AI system that "Restocks" the market in the early hours every day with items set way below market value, this is suppose to keep the market prices decent, but people now track these restocks, buy everything at the low price, wait a few hours, and sell it at the much higher price. Ammo is the worse offender of this, but it happens with everything. Now lets talk about the servers. The game has a very low tick rate for the servers, it's only 20hz. For comparison CS:GO is 128hz tick rate. What is tick rate? it's how often the server updates player information like movement, bullets fired, stuff like that. Lower tick rate means bad desync, bad hit-reg, and a terrible experience in all ways related to PVP. How is a game that's main focus is PVP only using 20hz tick rate servers? It makes no sense at all. Cash Shop: This is the one aspect of the game I don't really have a bunch of complaints about. The season pass is good value and not too expensive. The "gacha" cosmetics ARE expensive, but you don't need them in any way, if anything they are pay-to-lose because they are often brighter colors which make you easier to spot against a forest background that most of the maps use. And lastly, look through the "positive" reviews on this game, they are almost all AI generated. This game is not positive, it's overwhelmingly negative. The game has potential, but it's ran by a company that does know how to balance a game, or care to, partners with known cheater streamers, only cares about streamers and no one else.

If you have ever liked the idea of Escape from Tarkov but could not figure out for the life of you how to enjoy the experience this is the game for you. Its the exact same concept, but more accessible and gamey. Some would argue to a fault. Don't expect a lot of creativity in its design and there are plenty of things to be improved, but the main loop is nicely polished, running on Unreal, and fun to play. For the price tag of FREE you really can't complain, though you may be frustrated with how some of the monetization is handled.

I really wanted to like this game after seeing the videos & images about it, the concept is solid, the gunplay has promise, and the extraction shooter formula is something I usually enjoy, I think this as a F2P Tarkov to be honest with yall, but none of that matters when the game literally crashes your entire system mid-match lol. Within my 92 minutes of playing, my PC restarted itself four separate times. Not a crash to desktop — a full system restart like I had hit the reset button. Temps were fine, drivers are up to date, and I can run far more demanding games Cyberpunk (I played this game, Arena Breakout: Infinite , with my settings on the lowest possible so dont think that lowering graphs would solve my issue). After checking the forums and Reddit, its clear to me that Imm not alone. Tons of people are reporting the same issue across a variety of setups. Some say it happens when loading into raids, others during firefights or even just sitting in menus. It’s completely random and completely unacceptable. This isnst just poor optimization in my opinon, its a game-breaking instability that puts your hardware at risk. For a competitive shooter where survival and extraction are everything, having your entire PC shut down in the middle of a run is way too frustrating and kills the desire to keep playing the game. Not even to talk about that when the game doesnt full system restart my PC, it makes the game unplayable, 10-30 fps when I should be running the game at 100+ , I close the game and my whole system is lagging, sound having problems, mouse movement problems, everything in my computer goes wrong and I have to force a restart myself (manually turning off windows doesnt work, you have to press your PC case button). Until the devs address this with urgency, I cannot recommend this game. It feels more like a stress test than a playable release.
