A new take on the generic fps

Whilst on the face of it Escape from Tarkov look like just another FPS game in a sea of countless it is so much more!

Not only are the FPS elements realistic and highly challenging but the added element of you keep what you escape with and you lose it all if you die really does make for some nerve wracking gameplay as you seek to either kill are avoid the myriad of other players and NPC's.

Coupled with the FPS is an RPG elements where you can upgrade and improve your characters abilities along side the buying and selling of the parts you escape with to purchase better protective gear, guns and equipment.

The customisation options alone are insane with many weapons having a dozen or more options to improve them and style them to how you want to play as a result the game does have a very steep learning curve but is absolutely worth the effort.

The only "negatives" to this are the fact the game is still in beta and sometimes suffers from lagging and currently has limitations on the map locations available and the current abilities you can unlock.

Easily a recommended game!
