Okay, this is a somewhat simplified Rainbow Six Siege/Zero Hour with, dare I say, very ugly graphics (at least according to my personal taste). I cannot make the connection between a cartoony art style and tactical shooting setting — it feels like an abomination to me. My association with close quarters tactical shooting setting is realism (cf. Insurgency/Sandstorm/Zero Hour), not cybercunk high school grade comic book. All these bright colours make it hard to see enemies for me (try to spot someone standing stationary behind a commodity shelf in a supermarket, for example). Furthermore, there is no leaning to the sides, making it hard to do quick and relatively safe acute angle peeking.

I have to admit that I got lured by the "no map knowledge/procedural map generation" marketing fad. I got deceived successfully. The maps get "procedurally generated" each week. It's got too small of a playerbase, which makes it so that the regular/veteran players learn the maps quickly and take advantage of their overall experience with the game. Even nastier, you sometimes get into a 1v3 or 2v1 matches.

I bought this a few months back and didn't install it right away - I was struggling with HDD space and enjoyed Hunt: Showdown (I still can't get enough of it after 2000 hours). Thus, I can't refund, but at least I can whine about it in my "review". And, for the record, I'm not a R6 Siege fanboy (it's too cartoony and arcadey for my taste as well).
