It performs well on my GTX 760 and has nice textures. If you prefer a beta version instead, you won't get excellent graphics with great detail!
This game isn't recommended since it's just a beta version and requires payment to play.
From CCC we get a good overview of the overall impression. I’m genuinely impressed by the visual quality of the game. The expansive, barren city is rendered in rich detail, and the lighting adds a realistic touch that makes the scene feel authentic. Even with minor early-game frame rate hiccups—likely from installation timing—I didn’t notice anything significant. Apart from that, the graphics themselves are solid; animations flow smoothly and match both voice and ambient audio perfectly.
Yes, when an airdrop is happening it's very obvious and there plenty of time for a good amount of people to make their way to it. You also are not guaranteed a gun and even if you do get a gun its not always at 100% condition. Its a very fair system, I do however think its stupid to be paying for airdrops this early on, if the point is for players to be testing the game and critique balancing don't have us pay for this BS just yet.
It depends on what you value most. Testing it for free might expose you to many issues and downtime, but waiting could mean missing out on early access perks. The paid airdrops with extra features were announced in August last year. The main issue began when several bugs occurred simultaneously for one popular streamer, who was isolated on the server. The airdrop happened in an unexpected location and the AI malfunctioned at spawn time. These were early access problems, which many expected to be overlooked. Still, some continue to promote P2W despite these challenges.
I’m tired of hearing that it’s all about winning at any cost. I purchased the game on release day, disliked the concept of pay-to-win loot boxes... received a refund which was appreciated. After a few days, I noticed a tweet from the developers clarifying that the loot boxes were indeed pay-to-win and shared their own experience watching gameplay streams to see how valuable they truly were. They’ve since tweaked the odds in these boxes, making them less predictable. The boxes also have a slow drop rate and a significant fall zone—around 300 meters. It rarely lands exactly where you expect. Getting into the crate without a fight is quite unlikely, usually taking 10-15 seconds to open. It’s not just about guaranteed pay-to-win; there’s a decent chance you won’t get the item you wanted. Keep in mind this is early access, so it’s part of testing and supporting the game’s development, including their free-to-play model. I also want to add that early on you start with bandages to heal, and you can craft cloth from scraps and sticks to make bows. With just one stick you can craft an arrow, which can easily take down a target in a single shot. So from the beginning, everyone has the chance to wield a weapon capable of killing instantly—similar to the kind of power seen in pay-to-win firearms.
