This is, overall, a great game. The movement and shooting feel great, the soundtrack is phenomenal, and the audio in general suits the action.

I'm mainly writing this review to make up for the negative review I left here in response to Sony's attempt to enforce PSN account linking in order to play this game. Although I don't agree with all of the developers' decisions regarding some aspects of the game, especially weapon balancing, on the whole, they do deserve support against Sony's business practices.

The game is just not fun. Too complicated to get started playing the actual game. I will remove this review when I can get a refund.

This review will be removed when Gaijin adds free parts and FPE.

It's a pay-to-play game with pay-to-win microtranactions.

What else needs to be said?

Pros:

- The 3d tactical map is cool, and helps a lot with navigation once you learn how to control it
- Big space battles
- Art style is nice, player and vehicle models are well done

Cons:

- NO US SERVERS! High ping certainly won't help anything
- Guns are inaccurate, or at least feel that way, with everyone lagging all over the place
- On that note, the guns just aren't fun to use. Poor sound, poor feedback, just boring and unenjoyable
- Space maps are ridiculously laggy (in terms of latency), to the point of it being impossible to actually hit anything while piloting a fighter
- Space maps are very badly optimized, and perform very poorly compared to surface maps
- Space fighter handling is slow and buggy
- The UI is absolutely abysmal in every respect.
- Nearly useless tutorial - teaches you nothing you really need to know in order to just jump in and start playing
- Pretty much everything else


I can't reccommend this game at all in its current state. I tried it because some reviews compare it to Battlefront or Battlefield 2142, but at this point, it's both far from them, and very, very far from a completed product. I tried to go in with an open mind since I've been wanting a game like this for so long, but It's so early in development that it's really not worth paying money to even try out.

Even for Early Access, this game was released way too early for its own good. Perhaps it will be good after a year or two of development, but at this point, don't bother.
