    Warface: Breakout is a nice attempt at a tactical FPS. It works really well, and it’s fun to play. There’s just not a lot there at this time. For $20, the game’s not expensive, but it’s still hard to recommend over established games in the genre like Rainbow Six Siege or CS:GO. Still, if the developers make good and release more content, it could be a worthwhile investment and ultimately catch up to the greats in the genre.

    Warface: Breakout is a very admirable attempt at a close-quarters competitive shooter, but in a market with CSGO and now Valorant, Warface looks to be the very weakest option. It doesn't do anything unique, and it's aesthetically ugly. When Warface: Breakout works, it works well, but as it stands now I do not see a future for the game long-term.

    Game is solid 8/10. Rated 10 because of the ridiculous 0's and 1's. Only bug I've noticed is that it defaulted my server to Amsterdam. NoticedGame is solid 8/10. Rated 10 because of the ridiculous 0's and 1's. Only bug I've noticed is that it defaulted my server to Amsterdam. Noticed it before I played and changed it to Washington. My advice, watch some game play. Don't base your opinion on Metacritic. Gunplay is smooth and it actually matters where you aim. Spray and pray need not apply here. Time to get into match is faster than CoD. Everything is unlocked from the get go. Economy is similar to CSGO. Real world purchases are for cosmetics only. Map design is solid, offering multiple strategies. Music is a nice surprise. Audio is good. For $20.00, you cannot go wrong. I've played many shooters throughout the years on console and PC. Thoroughly enjoying this. It deserves to thrive and I hope it does.… Full Review »

    If this review is TL;DR, Warface: Breakout in its current state is the “Fortnite for Nintendo Switch” of Search and Destroy.

    My main two    If this review is TL;DR, Warface: Breakout in its current state is the “Fortnite for Nintendo Switch” of Search and Destroy.

    My main two points for this review is 1. The freezing, and 2. The Lag.

    Every time you get shot, the game freezes. Every time you exit the post-game menu, it freezes. I would imagine that this game isn’t pushing my PS4 Slim to the limit to cause these frequent stutters because the game has the graphics as if it was a cosmetic DLC pack for CS:GO. And if it is freezing because I use a Slim and not the Pro, I have no words that can describe how big of an issue that is that a pay-to-play game at $27 CAD (with micro-transactions) should not have. I compare this to the N.S fortnite port because the game freezes from everything. From someone building a stair piece right in front of you, to someone shooting a pistol in your direction 100 meters away.

    The lag may sound like I’m blaming my lack of skill on the game, but it is visible. People teleport across hallways and I can shoot five bullets into a person’s chest (which can be audibly counted), but it only registers one shot by the time I die due to a combo of this and the freezing. The least laggy server from my location according to the server select screen is the Chicago server at 17 ms, which is the server I have used since I started playing. In the PS4 and N.S version of Fortnite, I play on the NAE server. My ping is 17 ms (when rounded) on the log in screen in PS4, and usually 37 ms in the settings menu on both PS4 and N.S. I usually have 30-50 ping when ingame on fortnite on both listed versions according to the net debug stats in the top-left corner. Fortnite has up to 100 players at any given time on a 2 KM by 2 KM map, plus the henchmen. If a much bigger game can sustain ping this low, It's not crazy to assume Breakout can at worst match that ingame ping?

    Warface: Breakout has only up to 10 players at any time on a map the size of 4 CoD Shipment’s stitched together, yet somehow is actually consistently more laggy than the N.S port of Fortnite, which mind you has moments of 200+ ping for no reason that my PS4 in the same room never gets, and also the “walls of red” (any N.S Fortnite player with net debug stats visible knows what I mean). Warface has no ingame option to look at these net debug stats so I can’t compare them with numbers.

    Don’t buy this game, you can play CS:GO for free on a laptop with worse specs than the N.S and it’d still play better.    … Full Review »

    There's a ton of work that needs to be done to realise the potential of this game but as a CS-like shooter for console it's pretty fun
