    The game is good, it’s just badly in need of patches to stop the game crashing at the worst of times (Just before completing a match that had lasted about 20mins or so). I will raise my score if the game get’s fixed up. Also we need Free Included PS5 Enhancement Upgrade. It’s very blurry since the Devs lowered the Res from 4K to 1080p in their most recent update.

    Update: Patch released

    Update: Patch released today. We’ve got the 4K resolution back. Score now up to 5. Other than that, Badly needs fixing on PS4 version.

    Game is crashing and having poor performance on PS4, when you can play a full match the gameplay it´s very competitive and unique but PC players with good hardware have a BIG advantage over console players ! FIX YOUR GAME AND OPTIMIZE IT FOR CONSOLES New World Interactive !
    Edit: Now that they fixed the crashing issues i´m changing the rate from 3 to 7 !

    Does not run properly on ps4 and the gameplay is decent at best. Can be fun with friends.

    Great game, but the console version is lacking a lot of things.

    The next time they have a survey be sure to demand to have ISMC added to the game, it is literally the best mod to exist...AND it basically finishes the majority of the things that are highly sought after.

    Because of that fundamental omission I would recommend the PC version over this.

    A realistic shooter, that's more than welcome amidst all the fast-paced carnage that saturates the market, courtesy of Call of Duty and Battlefield. Slow, tactical and very much worth playing, whether you're alone or with friends. The graphics are a disappointment though, as is the weirdly inconsistent AI.

    While it may seem like Insurgency: Sandstorm has built-in anchors, it might be the best type of FPS for how it creatively builds on top of hurdles. There are no shortcuts to the objective, but scores of players would prefer it that way. To survive, you must be adept at the FPS genre. To thrive, you must be studious at the briefing and in the field. There’s nothing quite like a successful mission borne of organization and good teamwork. That’s why triumph on the battlefield alongside your fellow squadmates makes all the challenges seem worth the hassle. Hell, sometimes there’s no fun without it.

    What Insurgency: Sandstorm is offering here is a welcome change of pace, and a genuine alternative to the established norm.
