The game was good until Sony decided to destroy it.

FOR DEMOCRACCYYYYY

"We are so back, it’s so over." Repeat this until the end of the game. That sums up my experience. Amazing game, 2024 GOTY for me—but the developers keep playing with it, constantly changing how the game plays. With each update, it feels like I'm playing something different from what I bought at the start of the year. For some, this might be a good thing, but for me, the game I loved has changed so much that I don't even recognize it anymore. Sure, they've added good things, but the bad changes outweigh the good.

For example, they keep adding more tanky or annoying enemies that aren’t fun to fight. There’s no option to turn them off—you either have to play on lower difficulties or just deal with these new, annoying enemies that weren’t there when I first bought the game. They also keep messing with the game's balance like it's a competitive title, which makes your favorite weapons either useless or so overpowered that you don’t even want to use them. One patch your gun might be great, and the next, it’s nerfed into the ground, never to be restored to its original state.

This game launched perfectly, but with every update, it’s gotten worse. One update, the community is praising it, and the next, everyone’s hating on it. At launch, the realistic gunplay and ballistics felt important and made sense, but now guns feel like they shoot magic bullets and explode. Some might enjoy that, but I bought the game for the grounded experience it offered at launch. Now, we have a beautiful yet unrecognizable mess.

The core reasons I bought the game have been lost. Instead of adding to the perfect game we got at launch, they’ve kept changing the base formula. Instead of adding new content we got balance patches. Yes, the game is in a good state as I write this, but it will 100% change again with each update, I feel like the vision for the game has shifted so much that what made me love it in the first place is now gone.

(I have 500 hours on a different account if you're wondering that, I've bought the game at launch and reviewed it then but Steam won't show your review again if you update it so I'm posting it on a different account.)
