As a person with over 9000 hours and with the best ending obtained, I can point out a few things: - This game still needs a lot of polishing (Yes, I know. What a shocker): Despite being in beta for 8 years (give or take), this game still lacks in optimization, and I believe there are still some gameplay features that the devs want to include, such as weapon stances. - This game is more like a challenge than a piece of entertainment: I will be honest. Yes. I enjoyed playing Tarkov, but it took me some time to start enjoying it. The main reason I considered this game my favorite for a few years was because I liked the idea of this game challenging me over and over again. If you are a person who finds the idea of being kicked in the balls by a videogame interesting, this is for you I guess lmfao. Once you learn the ropes, you will start enjoying playing this game. - You need a lot of free time if you want to play with the seasonal mode: This is very simple. Are you planning on giving this game a lot of your time and dedication? Most of you probably won't, and that's absolutely reasonable and understandable! You may have other responsibilities such as a job, studies, or even a family. If that's the case, you can still play this game by playing the PvE mode or PvP Permanent mode. I consider PvE the most friendly towards newbies and people with limited free time. Anyways, despite all of that- I like Tarky! I've enjoyed playing it, and all the stuff I've experienced when picking it up for the first time and learning everything is quite unique. It gets a thumbs up for me :)

Most helpful reviews, 6 to 12 October
Steam’s top-ranked review for and against the game in these 7 days, in English. Votes as they stood when this map was made.
Added the ability to purchase in-game currency on PvE servers directly, using real money. Regardless of how you feel about PvE servers, even considering doing this is ridiculous and it's likely to follow for the rest of the game.
