What players say

75% of 230,890 reviews are positive · 61% of 1,131 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the Western-horror atmosphere, sound cues, and methodical gunfights that reward positioning and map knowledge. The dominant complaints are alleged cheating and ping abuse, especially in high-skill matches, along with matchmaking that places players against much stronger teams.
