Active Matter

easy progression, intense pve and pvp, beautiful world design, good game optimization

It's good, I was worried by the negative reviews but pretty much all the bad reviews say the same thing - PvP is a nightmare due to no progression reset for those who played for a year. There is a PvE mode with virtually no difference save no other people around and some contracts are locked to PvP but they are by no means needed for progression. PvE mode if you don't want to PvP - you can also PvE to gain progression pretty fast if you do objectives and "catch up" to the people who played for a while. UI is a bit wonky but you figure it out pretty quickly - just read everything. Gun play is fine, no where near Tarkov levels but like Arma Reforger and Stalker 2-ish It's hard to figure out what loot is good, and how to use the refiner properly, just read stuff and you'll figure it out. If you like ARC Raiders, Tarkov, and STALKER you'll enjoy this but by no means is it the new Tarkov nor is it the new ARC Raiders - It is a weird mix of all, takes a lot of good but there is some jank. 8/10.

i was honestly scared, but it’s cool. learned not to sprint, made it out, and I’m proud. ‍

I played this before in its own launcher, the pve is really good, the game its a bit rough tho.

I am coming over from the gaijin launcher and have been playing this game for just about a year now. I wish I could bring over my hours played from the launcher but I do have alot of time spent playing this game. I would like to preface this by saying how awesome the dev team and community managers are for this game. They have put in alot of work especially in the days leading up to this release and have been very devoted to evolving and working with the community through feedback and constructive criticism. The game is a great well balanced approach to a pvpve setting being able to toggle through each game mode seamlessly. Each raid map (and there is alot) cycles modifiers that apply different monster hordes, weather, times of day and the options for pve or pvp having players experiment with different maps and game modifiers leaving the experiences feeling fresh and exciting. As someone who loves zone core stalker rich games this game really provides that atmosphere but takes it up a knotch by exploring what would happen if we stepped outside of post soviet war era aesthetics and went to different locations around the globe, im really excited to see where they explore for futur…

I started packing lighter and lived through more raids. Turns out greed was the real miniboss. ‍
