Purchased a few weeks ago. 156 hours played. I do not leave it idle unless I'm going to make some food or something. Get it.

The first time I booted up ARC Raiders I played for about 8 hours straight. This is my second day playing ARC Raiders. You should buy it.

I was hesitant because I've seen what the community is like for Helldivers 2, and this seems to have a similar kind of playerbase, in the sense that they whine and complain a lot, especially about other players. However, I believe that player interaction lends itself well to **memorable** gameplay experiences, so if you can get onboard with the fact that this game is designed for sneaky rat-f*k behavior, buy it! You won't regret it.

American servers are quite amicable, european servers have french people so its KOS.

they locked gangs behind a DLC paywall, a feature designed by the original developer introversion software. it was in the game before Paradox bought it. now you have to pay for it, because they figured some additions to gang aesthetics and behavior was worth charging $5.99.

Got hardlocked within the first 2 minutes of gameplay and had to rejoin the 10 min queue. bruh.

I still have 0 clue what I'm doing.

edit: the original review was at 220~ hours. i am now at 400ish hours. i think i know what im doing. finally. i can play the game

Before listening to the angry mob, play up to the 2 hour refund point. Give it a try, and if you like it, keep it. Folks can be upset about censorship, but to call it a "lazy cash grab" is completely wrong. The game is better than ever with this update.

oh my god yes. yes. yes!!! play it NOW! if youve been looking for a unique project full of passion, here it is.

Oh god yeah, its fun. I shouldn't have bought it on a monday, I haven't gotten any work done.

A worthy successor to legendary city-builder cry-em-up Frostpunk. Now that I've finished the game, heres a real review. Different in gameplay, improved in aesthetics, and lots of new worldbuilding. The music still pulls at the heartstrings, and the whiteouts are ass-clenching. Highly recommended for both fans and newcomers to the series. "Isn't every utopia somebody else's dystopia?"

The city must survive.
8/10

The first "Monkey Type" game, as Kojima would call it. Its not as quick to hold your hand like other games, but no one held Monke's hand when they became ape and then human. The world is foreign and scary, but Monke will learn to survive and dominate, and so shall you.

Good game, but expect some strange controls and a lot of screw ups. You will be eaten by a sabertooth.
