I got an early look at the new title from New World Interactive. But wait, didn't they make Insurgency too? Yeah. This game runs on the same engine, has the same mechanics, and is just as unforgiving. I believe at the end of the day that Insurgency is one of my favorite games. It is super immersive and intense. Day of Infamy makes it even more serious. It adds new game modes that will have you literally jumping into the trenches and engaging in combat. This includes a D-Day map that just resembles a slaughterhouse. While the graphics definitely didn't see an upgrade, it doesn't look terrible by any means.

Day of Infamy has a lot of the same issues that Insurgency has had since day one. For example, alt-tabbing out of the game has varied success. Sometimes you will crash the game and have to restart your computer, sometimes you will look at a black screen for a few minutes, and sometimes you load back in just fine. Unfortunately given that the game takes place in WW2, the customization is very barebones. Your attachments include such items as sling, extended mag, and bayonet. All in all, this game is very fun and immersive and it's definitely worth a look.

+Lots of room for a skill curve
+fun pickups
+Feels like a mix of Quake and Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball
+Two Towers map pays homage to Quake

+- Humor depending on what you think about ♥♥♥♥ jokes. I for one like taunting by yelling "PENIS"

- I think the tutorial needs to explain the 'force jump' a little bit
- Needs more than 4 player games
- Needs Teams
- A bit of spawn issues and map design throws me off

I will reccomend this game to someone that has 3 friends ready to play for a bit. I think $20 for a 4 pack would make this a must buy for me.

I think that this game has a ways to go before it is polished enough to where I would play it for long durations. I think that the mechanic of switching between 3 completely different heroes is really cool. Right now I feel like the mage hero might be a bit more powerful than anyone else. I think there should be a popup system letting you know that you got a kill or an assist. The only thing that I was afraid of was that eventually with no in-game progression/leveling system, the game would get very repetitive after a few games. I see a competitive scene coming to this game in the future.

I received a review copy of this game. I do not know the developers and did not receive any form of payment for this review.

Lots of fun. Hit my exact niche.
First Impressions: here

Fun for what it is. Don't expect a AAA title. If you are as cheap as I am, however, just wait for it to go on sale.

IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS FOR THE VR, AVOID THIS AT ALL COST

I received this game as a review copy. The developer did not pay me for this review.

I really enjoy relaxing and playing this game. To me, I see this game as a Banished-lite game with more progression and more control. The game has a few glitches currently but the dev is constantly updating. I would buy this game again.

I also found the early game to be very confusing but that was because I forgot how to find a few things and I didnt read the help.

So I obviously haven't beaten the game based on my time. I do a first impressions series on youtube (see here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu9Yyg1d-HY. I figured I would do a wrap up of my thoughts here to help you guys decide if you will like the game.

Disclaimer: my PR company sent me code for this game. I have no obligation to provide a good review and I was not provided money by the devs.

1. If you like parkour/freerunning games, you will love this game.
2. If you liked PS2 spiderman games, you will love this game.
3. Great minimalist art style
4. awesome physics
5. 11 levels (first two are about 20 mins each depending on how good you are.
6. Tons of replayability and interesting "levelution" through green orbs
7. Affordable

At first you're going to say "this looks just like smash." The resemblance is definitely there but I personally believe that this game is on track to be a much more polished game with very solid, polished gameplay and a great community. If you're looking at this, give it a shot! Get in that first game and you will be hooked.

Great game to murder your friends and watch a bear defecate in the woods. 10/10
