One of the most popular genres in the computer game industry is shooters, or in Russian 'shooters'. This genre is one of the most ancient, it appeared long before strategy games, not to mention MMORPGs. Modern shooters are so numerous and varied that a conditional division into subgenres has already been adopted, depending on the setting, style, gameplay features and other aspects. The editorial staff presents you with a rating of the most iconic and popular 'shooters' today, which you can play on your PC online, and not alone, but with other real players located anywhere in the world.

The most realistic online shooters on PC

The first to consider online shooters, which have earned the highest recognition among gamers who value realism. This refers not only to impeccable photographic graphics, but also to the authenticity of physics, game mechanics, and even NPC behavior. Here the player feels everything to the maximum: the recoil of weapons, lack of ammunition, the impact of obstacles and weather conditions, the availability of medicines and other factors in real combat situations.

Counter strike

Rating: 5.0

And 'number one' among the most realistic online shooters for PC is, of course, the legendary Counter Strike, namely, the successful sequel to the classic 'Contra' – Global Offensive. Even people indifferent to video games, but not indifferent to the Internet, have heard the sound combination 'CSGO' many times.

In the revived CS, the secret of success was not so much innovation as the preservation of all the advantages of the classic game. Improvements were made mainly in graphics quality and physics enhancements. In general, the game mechanics and concept remained unchanged. Game modes have also been added.

As before, in the updated CS you can play as terrorists or special forces – the former take hostages and plant a bomb; the latter must defuse the bomb, eliminate opponents and free the hostages, as much as possible without casualties. In the GunGame mode, the player and his character have to methodically shoot opponents, getting more and more new and better weapons. There is also a command mode, where one team has the task of destroying a certain object with an explosion, and the other must prevent this by all means.

In CS: GO, we also see an expanded selection of weapons – Molotov cocktails, napalm grenades and other interesting and spectacular 'toys'. Each type of weapon sparkles with excellent graphic design, however, as well as the entire environment.

It is worth mentioning that this game as of 2019 is far from a novelty, but it is not lost its relevance and is not going to – CS: GO is a generally recognized 'canonical' eSports discipline.

As for the realism, it is difficult to find serious flaws here. Everything is real: the recoil is such that aimed automatic fire can only be fired with solid skills; you won't be able to run freely under heavy fire – every bullet hit slows down the movement; there is no automatic health recovery.

Advantages

• high-quality graphics;
• extremely realistic physics and mechanics;
• addictive and dynamic gameplay;
• a recognized esports discipline;
• huge community;
• online is one of the highest on Steam on average.

disadvantages

• players' claims to a not entirely fair donation.

Arma 3

Rating: 4.9

The second brightest online PC shooter in our ranking is Arma 3. Despite the fact that the events of the game unfold in the not-too-distant future, everything else here is frighteningly 'real'. Arma is a whole series of hyper-realistic online games in the tactical shooter genre, and we will consider the most successful, in the opinion of most fans, the third part.

In a nutshell, this online shooter can be described as an extremely difficult military simulator. And the complexity here is a direct consequence of realism. The maps in the game are huge, the races are many kilometers long, the injuries create serious problems, the ballistics is correct, the recoil is felt even like, the surrounding reality sometimes makes you confuse reality and virtuality.

The main action of the game takes place on the Greek islands and represents an acute phase of the conflict of very unexpected parties – NATO, Greek partisans and, for some reason, Iran. Technique is presented here in a huge number, including various aviation. Weapons do not lag behind in diversity. Basically, these are weapons of the 'seemingly' near future, but almost every one has a modern prototype.

The plot of the game is inherited from its predecessor – Operation Flashpoint. The main character, who has lost his comrades in arms, wanders through the forests, finds survivors and puts together a new team for a future offensive. Controlling the fighters is quite difficult – you need to get used to a complex nested menu with many commands and parameters. But this is not a drawback, but a feature – the threshold for entering Arma 3 is, by definition, not the lowest.

At times, the game becomes more interesting in cooperation with other online participants, even if the team needs to resist only the 'soulless' game AI. Aerobatics in the game – online multiplayer mode. But it makes sense to meddle here only with a very impressive experience, and then it is advisable to do this at first with an even more experienced mentor. But if you manage to get past the initial inferiority complex, multiplayer will open up amazing prospects for receiving vivid emotions, interacting with legendary players, participating in the most serious special operations as part of played clans on closed servers.

Unfortunately, against the background of all the advantages, Arma 3 is famous for notable bugs, but today there is practically no alternative to such ruthless combat realism. Perhaps it will become Ready or Not, but its release still needs to wait.

Advantages

• the leader among online shooters for PC in terms of realism and authenticity;
• huge locations;
• exciting missions;
• impressive sound design;
• many types of weapons and equipment;
• a large professional community with the characteristics of the gaming elite.

disadvantages

• high threshold of entry;
• there are cases of bugs.

The best post-apocalyptic shooters on PC

The second selection in the ranking of the best online shooters for PC according to the version is online 'shooters', made in the style of post-apocalypse. It is a popular subgenre in literature and cinema, so it is only natural that it found a worthy place in the field of video games. The ominous, but in its own way attractive atmosphere of the abandoned ruins of a lost world with the most unpredictable dangers at every step – all this attracts gamers with good imagination and those who like to tickle their nerves.

Stalker Online

Rating: 5.0

The first number in the post-apocalyptic collection of online shooters for PC is the cult game Stalker, or more precisely, its online version, which has important differences from the single shooter. Created in a characteristic style with a well-recognizable setting and artifacts of the post-Soviet space, it is especially close to our compatriots, including very old ones.

The idea of ​​the Zone, in which the laws of physics we are used to do not really work, but on the contrary – all kinds of inexplicable anomalies occur, was borrowed from the Strugatsky brothers and was qualitatively implemented. The player will have to face the most unpredictable dangers, but the big risks are worth it, because the Zone is full of not only threats, but also amazing artifacts with inexplicable power of possibilities.

The gameplay in 'Stalker Online' is quite expected – the execution of assignments, the search for useful artifacts, combat clashes with opponents. The latter can represent ordinary people, just enemy groups, or they can even be mutants, in which little remains of the human appearance. The game also allows you to closely cooperate with other players, unite into groups, and conduct entire military campaigns.

Stalker Online is primarily an online shooter for PC, but there is also a bit of an economic component, survival in a broad sense, RPG and open world elements. So, this cult toy will definitely appeal to many.

In 2021, the long-awaited sequel is expected – an updated online shooter for PC 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R. – 2 '. So, if the first 'Stalker', even being at the peak of popularity, for some reason passed you by, there is still plenty of time to enjoy the cult classics before the sequel is released.

Advantages

• high-quality graphics (for its time);
• huge map;
• exciting missions;
• special atmosphere;
• a large and generally responsive community.

disadvantages

• a noticeable percentage of users disappointed with the online version compared to the original single player.

Scavengers

Rating: 4.9

The second in our ranking example of a stunning implementation of the idea of ​​a post-apocalyptic PC shooter with an online component is Scavengers. Let's say right away, this is the freshest project, and there has not been an official release yet, but the final beta testing is currently underway, and millions of potential fans are waiting. Therefore, nothing can be said about the weaknesses of the game, but our experts could not fail to include it in the review due to the high expectations of the audience and literally 'from day to day' of the upcoming release.

In terms of graphics and art, the game promises to be a real work of art. In between the fierce firefights, one can get no less vivid impressions, contemplating the endless and amazingly beautiful ice wastelands.

Actually, these wastelands themselves arose due to a planetary catastrophe that befell the Earth due to the collision of a huge asteroid with the Moon. Contrary to possible concerns, the game world will not be monotonous here. Midwinter Entertainment's designers managed to construct something completely special based on the Unreal Engine 4. In any case, you can tell from the trailers.

The player will expect a variety of dangers at every step. It can be both aggressive gangs of marauders and no less ferocious representatives of the fauna of the cold post-apocalyptic future of our planet. A kind of 'highlight' will be a non-illusory opportunity to die of hunger, cold, or even banal overwork.

Such a concentration of hostile manifestations of the surrounding reality in the most unequivocal way hints the player to the need to act in concert with other players. This is how, by joining a group and making a commitment to strength, the player will significantly increase his chances of survival and success.

The gameplay will be built in the format of online matches. Small teams of 2-4 players are placed on a community map and must complete the task. The match takes place in three stages: crafting weapons, hunting for enemies and passing the location, searching for a cache for trophies.

Advantages

• judging by the screenshots – stunning graphics and impressive landscapes;
• original idea (the creators moved away from the annoying themes of nuclear war, zombie apocalypse and alien attacks).

disadvantages

• we'll see.

The best naval shooters on PC

The third selection in our ranking represents a subgenre of online marine shooters. Here you can take part in furious naval battles. Our experts have identified three games in different styles – ship battles, clashes of underwater combat vehicles, and pirate battles for lovers of medieval sea romance.

World of Warships

Rating: 5.0

Let's start with the naval 'incarnation' of the stunning Belarusian hit World of Tanks – the naval online shooter World of Warships produced by the same Belarusian studio. The creators managed to re-implement all those approaches that led to the worldwide success of the cult WoT.

This game is characterized by similar organizational aspects with other game products of the studio – the classification of combat vehicles, pumping algorithms, social system, and so on. The player has at his disposal a shipyard where ships are produced in a huge variety of models and specifications.

This tactical shooter provides the player with opportunities not only tactically, but also strategically. During the battles, you will have to plan deceptive maneuvers, master the real techniques of naval combat of those times, hone the skills of firing from all guns in a head-on collision.

In addition to the player's personal qualities in terms of fleet management, the ability to cooperate with other participants will be extremely useful. In some contexts, the ability to negotiate, act together, think about the interests of the group and the common goal will literally be decisive.

The basis of the combat component is ships in a decent number of types – destroyers, combat boats, cruisers, battleships, aircraft carriers and others. You can also have auxiliary vessels at your disposal – canboats, mine-sweeping ships, escorts, etc. All this diversity is multiplied by the history of shipbuilding of many countries and military alliances over several eras.

Advantages

• beautiful and high quality graphics;
• colorful and realistic battles;
• musical background with powerful shooting and explosions;
• balanced gameplay;
• free-to-play;
• variety of modes.

disadvantages

• imbalance of the economy with increasing levels.

Steel ocean

Rating: 4.9

The second number in the selection of the rating of the best naval shooters for PC, consider the arcade alternative to the above game especially for those who find World of Warships too realistic, not 'shooter' enough and dynamic.

Indeed, the Chinese product turned out to be more than successful, and gamers fell in love with its speed, dynamics, mind-blowing action, and at the same time its simplicity and affordability. It features large and small surface ships and submarines.

The game was created on the Unreal Engine 3, which means that there are no special complaints about the quality of the graphics. The realism of physics, however, is lame – ships start from a place deliberately quickly, damage when hit is not always convincing, the ship's pitching is not perceived at all. All these seeming shortcomings are actually made by the developers quite deliberately so as not to overload the player, and to give an opportunity to rush into another hot sea battle 'with heat, with heat'.

There are quite full-fledged elements of 'serious' RPGs in the game – ships can be pumped by hanging additional equipment and weapons. You can also pump crew members and other parameters – attack distance, speed of movement and reloading of guns.

Fights take place almost exclusively at close range. This automatically implies that the player's battles are hot: powerful shooting, smoke, fire, explosions, crushing rams.

The team play here is similar to World of Warships – medium-sized ships maneuver as cover for heavy cruisers, battleships and other torpedo-carrying 'trifles' are trying to attack battleships in the tail, submarines are deadly mass murderers in ambush, but at the same time they are defenseless like babies in the depths bombs.

Advantages

• good graphics;
• sound design;
• many ship models, including unusual prototypes;
• dynamics and action;
• team game.

disadvantages

• a minimum of realism in favor of action and dynamics.

Sea of ​​thieves

Rating: 4.8

The third online sea “shooter” in this selection of our rating will take you to ancient times, when desperate daredevils cruised the seas and oceans – real sea pirates, greedy for profit, adventure and a hot fight.

In addition to the hot battles, shooting and explosions that are so close to shooter fans, this game also contains a lot of other interesting content. And that's great, otherwise the game would quickly get bored. The player will enjoy exciting travels in search of treasures, exploring various locations on ancient maps, battles with competitors and otherworldly monsters. Communication with colleagues in the craft will be accompanied by a perky peppercorn – drinking in taverns with permanent fights, where without them. The creators of Sea of ​​Thieves made this pirate shooter really passionate, drawing inspiration from many literary works, so fans of the pirate theme will find many 'old friends' in the game.

The online social component is more than serious here. Going on your first journey, you will have to work closely with other crew members. And the most important feature of the project is that the whole team is avatars of living people! That is, absolutely everything on the ship – from the captain to the cook, all the sailors, gunner and navigator – are not bots, but real players.

You will definitely not be bored here, as there is always something for everyone – to control the steering wheel, raise or lower sails, shoot cannons, patch holes and a lot of other things.

Advantages

• beautiful graphics;
• variety of gaming opportunities;
• dynamics;
• well-rendered atmosphere of pirate romance;
• game mechanics;
• the whole crew are real people.

disadvantages

• the game is paid and not cheap.

The best shooters on war machines

The next nomination in our rating is a selection of three online shooters for PC, where the player will have to fight hot battles in war machines. Besides shooting, another 'adrenaline' factor has been added here – chases and pursuits, especially in Crossout.

Crossout

Rating: 5.0

The idea of ​​this game project of the Russian development team Targem Games came immediately after the dizzying success of the reboot of the Mad Max franchise. Actually, the direct adaptation was made by the Swedes from Avalanche Studios, but Crossout is so stylistically similar to Miller's universe that the game is sometimes even mistakenly referred to as it. And this phenomenon characterizes it very well.

This dizzying racing shooter with crazy pursuits, battles in arenas of different locations, various game modes, which for the most part still boil down to one thing – total destruction of each other by players. The locations themselves are a stunning sight, enchanting with their disastrous apocalyptic beauty – scorched wastelands, dilapidated megacities, abandoned industrial facilities and other similar territories.

There is another important aspect to this online shooter besides shooting. This is the design of the combat vehicles themselves. The player is invited to assemble a deadly armored vehicle himself. Here you can show your imagination with might and main, and the game engine will take care of the physical realism of the design – it will not work to hang a mountain of uniforms on the flimsy chassis, and so on in everything.

For participation and victory in battles, the player receives experience, in-game money, access to more advanced equipment and parts. To achieve maximum results, to win more often and with fewer losses, one must not forget about cooperation with other participants. But the command mode, although recommended, is not a sentence – the game gives decent opportunities to convinced loners too.

Advantages

• idea and creative approach from the developers;
• dynamic chases and battles;
• live market;
• interesting craft;
• solid graphics;
• colorful post-apocalyptic locations.

disadvantages

• not always the optimal balance of modules and weapons.

World of Tanks

Rating: 4.9

Continuing the topic of online shooters on combat vehicles in our rating, we cannot ignore the hit hits – the product number 1 of the Belarusian studio that created the above-described World of Warships. This is the famous “tanks” – a tactical shooter, and at the same time a World of Tanks simulator.

The main conceptual component of the game is tank battles in the mid-20th century wartime setting. In fact, this is the world's first full-fledged tank action game, where the infantry running around has been abolished, and everything is concentrated precisely on powerful battles of armored vehicles of various models and tactical and technical characteristics.

At first glance, the gameplay of WoT is extremely simple. Players in two teams of 15 participants each land on the map and immediately engage in a heated battle with chases, pursuits, tactical maneuvers and hot shooting. The confrontation lasts until the last tanker. However, this is far from an arcade shooter, and there are other important aspects here: pumping combat vehicles, interacting with other online players, session maps, reliable armored vehicles, stunningly realistic physics.

In-game achievements are encouraged by in-game bonuses – experience and in-game currency, for which you can buy new equipment, attract more trained crews, effective equipment, and with this all good will crush the enemy with tripled strength. Many even draw parallels, they say WoT is the same Counter Strike, only on tanks and with advanced capabilities.

There are as many as five classes of cars in the game, each of which has a whole set of models. All of them embody real combat vehicles of the Second World War with maximum reliability, and they represent different schools of tank building – Soviet, American, Japanese, etc. There are even models that in life were implemented only on paper in the form of projects, and found their virtual embodiment in Game.

Advantages

• high-quality graphics and sound;
• realistic shooting;
• reliable models of armored vehicles;
• a wide range of equipment;
• dynamic battles.

disadvantages

• obsessive donation;
• players' claims to balance.

Overload

Rating: 4.8

The third shooter in the list of the best online PC games in this genre is something special. This is a combat space boat simulator which is a dizzying anti-gravity shooting game. Despite the Sci-Fi-style, our experts did not define this game in the category of space shooters, since there is not much space here, but there are more combat vehicles from both the player's and the enemy's side.

Overload has become a real breath of air for fans of just such a gaming concept, when the full six degrees of freedom (6DoF) are implemented. You can move and dodge in six directions, and the developers immediately supported this opportunity with compatibility with modern virtual reality helmets.

The game features 15+ story campaign levels aimed at a single player game. By the way, the plot was written not by anyone, but by the scriptwriter who created the plot of the legendary space simulator Freespace 2. A dozen more levels are available in the 'Test' mode. But the developers, of course, were not fixated on a single player game, and provided an exciting multiplayer online mode with up to 8 players.

The gameplay is built on collisions with unfriendly robotics, various obstacles and treacherous traps. There will even be unique bosses that will have to be fired at from all guns in order to inflict significant damage. Fortunately, there will be something to shoot from – at the disposal of the player will gradually fall into 15 types of deadly weapons of the future, which, among other things, can also be improved.

Advantages

• six degrees of freedom;
• addictive gameplay;
• simple but nice graphics;
• impressive author's soundtrack;
• special atmosphere;
• support for VR helmets.

disadvantages

• the game is paid.

The best space shooters

Now, in the rating of the best online shooters for PC according to the version, we will open a full-fledged space theme and consider three iconic games that best implemented various aspects of battles in outer space, for which they have earned the respect of the mass audience of fans of this style of science fiction.

Star conflict

Rating: 5.0

And again we return to the products of domestic game makers, who never cease to amaze with quality products. Star Conflict is not a new product (the first official release took place in 2014), but it does not lose its relevance. It was created by the Russian StarGem development team with the support of the publisher Gaijin Entertainment.

For shooting enthusiasts, there is a real expanse here – the game is the best way to implement colorful and dynamic space battles on combat starships and light boats. Moreover, confrontations between players in PvP mode and clashes with hostile manifestations of the environment in PvE mode will be equally exciting.

A new player will have to start small, but there is definitely something to strive for – as he progresses and gains experience in large and small battles, the participant accumulates energy and game currency, which can be used to buy new, more powerful ships or to improve the existing fleet.

The game modes here can really suit every temperament and every mood. The dynamic PvP battle takes place bright and fast – up to 10 minutes, and sessions in the open world mode are not limited in time at all. By the way, this open world is great in every sense. The player can travel the galaxy through a hyperspace gateway, gradually exploring the colossal map.

The idea of ​​an alien mind is very interestingly implemented in the game. You won't see big-eyed humanoids or sentient octopuses here. In the game, the enemy ships themselves are sentient beings, not counting the pirate ships that are controlled by humans.

This online space shooter is formally free, as it claims to be distributed according to the free-to-play business model. But as the game progresses, it quickly becomes clear that without donation, the possibilities will be extremely limited. Donate itself is imposed quite aggressively, and the balance is clearly flawed, clearly deliberately – in order to push the player to invest real money. This circumstance is almost the only factor of objective negative feedback.

Advantages

• high-quality graphics and sound;
• careful optimization;
• variety of modes;
• open world;
• original ideas.

disadvantages

• obsessive donation and imbalance.

Battlezone Combat Commander

Rating: 4.9

The second number in the space selection of the best online shooters is the revived and updated Battlezone Combat Commander. The first version came out exactly 20 years ago, and even had a success, but still did not become a hit. The release of the modern version took place in 2018, and the game still has a chance to win a solid audience.

The events of the game take place in the distant future. Powerful powers have forgotten past squabbles and contradictions, uniting in a single military alliance to fight an external threat – alien civilizations that are not distinguished by friendliness.

Here are some game aspects that will please players who prefer versatile gameplay, not just shooting. The player will have two dozen exciting missions with interesting stories, a multiplayer mode with support for up to 14 online participants at the same time, six strategically important planets with the necessary resources, and, of course, colorful epic battles online. All this is wrapped in a motley 'package' of high-quality graphics and sound design.

The gameplay includes versatile activities for the development of space bases, the construction of fortifications, defense, collection and processing of resources. There are dozens of different types of military equipment – about 30 in total.

Advantages

• colorful graphics;
• epic battles;
• RTS elements;
• many types of military equipment and ships.

disadvantages

• the game is paid.

Dreadnought

Rating: 4.8

The third number in this selection of ratings will consider the real 'dream of a giant man' – a space shooter dominated by gigantic asteroid-sized combat starships, and these monsters are dictated by space carnage of the appropriate scale.

Strictly speaking, the space combat fleet here is of course not limited to super-heavy ships. As a session-based class-based space action game, Dreadnought includes five classes of ships:

1. Destroyers are the main, most balanced combat unit;
2. Supports – tactical cruisers designed mainly for operational re-equipment of warships and damage recovery, but also capable of inflicting painful injuries with a well-aimed long-range laser on an enemy ship;
3. Snipers are artillery cruisers that strike from afar with powerful volleys of “rays of good”, hiding behind the hulls of their more massive comrades;
4. Corvettes are the most unprotected, but nimble and nimble ships capable of effective single combat;
5. Dreadnoughts – in fact, the very juice of the game – hefty, clumsy, but thick-skinned and armed to the teeth gigantic machines, capable of making hyperspace jumps.

The listed types of ships are also divided into factions, differing in characteristics, equipment, speed, armor and even appearance.

The game includes several modes – classic DeathMatch, team destruction in two rounds, onslaught – the most demanded mode, for which they give the most points – the player, in cooperation with other participants, needs to destroy the enemy's command ship.

Advantages

• high-quality graphics and sounds;
• careful optimization;
• breathtaking battles;
• the richest variety of classes, models and ship factions;
• ample opportunities for development;
• game modes for every taste;
• stable servers;
• available 'horizontal' control;
• free-to-play.

disadvantages

• some gaps in collision physics (minor).

The best non-military shooters on PC

At the end of the ranking of the best online shooters for PC, we will move away from the overarching military theme, and remember that you can shoot not only in war. Just for fans of non-combat shooting, our experts included in the rating a bright shooter about hunting, where the target will not be an enemy in a military sense, but prey or some kind of threat from the wild; and the second game in the collection, although it has common points with a military theme, is infinitely far from war in full understanding.

theHunter: Call of the Wild

Rating: 5.0

The shooter genre has a special subgenre – hunting simulators. They are very popular for their unique qualities – stalking, pursuit, excitement, adrenaline rush and satisfaction of the getter instinct. One of the most successful implementations of such shooters is theHunter: Call of the Wild.

There are some disadvantages in this game, but they can even be ignored against the background of unconditional advantages. Here, the player is waiting for colorful graphics – the creators squeezed the most out of the graphics engine, excellent dynamics, variety of content, 'intelligent' animal behavior, and much more. The experts included the game in the review, since the niche of hunting simulators in video games is represented extremely poorly, and fans of the subgenre have to be content with what they have, and this shooter is, without any exaggeration, the best for today.

From the good about this specific shooter, one can praise the huge, beautifully detailed locations, the richest variety of targets – from small birds to ferocious predators, several dozen types of hunting weapons.

The action takes place in the dense forests of Europe. The player will have to track down prey, drive, lure, and kill from various weapons. You will have to show not only accuracy, but also patience, perseverance and ingenuity. The game character can be pumped in every possible way, improving skills and acquiring new abilities. Over time, you can teach your character to be almost invisible and leave no traces.

The developers also took care of far-reaching goals. The single-player mode in such a game will inevitably quickly get bored, and in this case there is an online mode with cooperation and competition. The multiplayer allows up to 8 real players to participate. Thus, as part of a squad, you can arrange coordinated raids for large prey.

Advantages

• realistic graphics;
• beautiful game world;
• atmosphere;
• many goals;
• wide selection of weapons;
• many options for character development;
• exciting multiplayer;
• high-quality Russian language.

disadvantages

• the game is paid.

Far cry 3

Rating: 4.9

And the final shooter in our rating is the undisputed hit of recent years, Far Cry 3. This is an exciting shooter with a powerful and full-fledged sandbox component. Unlike the desolate and lifeless second version, Far Cry 3 blooms with wild colors of wild nature. Against the background of the beautiful nature of the player, all sorts of troubles await in abundance that will have to be faced.

Events unfold on a picturesque island, where the main character falls, instantly finding himself in the hands of villainous pirates. But he instantly manages to escape, after which he himself becomes a predator in the broadest sense.

The player will have to survive in the wild jungle, and in the most violent way. It will be necessary to take care of food – for this you can hunt small and medium-sized animals. You also need to constantly be on the lookout so as not to become prey yourself – large predators attack the player's character without hesitation. The mined animals are not only food, but also a source of crafting – skins and wool for making belts, clothes and all kinds of products.

Having made a fortune in the forest and having grown stronger, you can think about capturing outposts. It is not necessary to be Rambo at the same time – you can discreetly track down the guards, think over a plan and cut out would-be thugs with a lightning throw.

You can support the economic component by completing interesting quests. Weapons can be acquired and captured, as well as improved. The open world in the game is perfectly flavored with a spicy mixture of humor, shocking, and even psychedelic trips under the influence of 'not quite simple' grass. Here you will find a place for a completely insane combination of characters: CIA agents, frostbitten bandits, long-legged and steep-hip beauties in tattoos, religious fanatics and whoever else.

For fans of multiplayer, the game has four special online modes. The most exciting is the co-op for four. It resembles in many ways the mind-blowing missions of Left 4 Dead, if you remove the zombies from them.

Advantages

• colorful, large-scale game world;
• high-quality graphics;
• crazy combination of characters;
• 'frostbitten' style with black humor and outrageousness;
• unforgettable, unique and distinctive atmosphere.

disadvantages

• the game is paid.
