What can I say about Insurgency: Sandstorm?
I can only say that this is a very good game in its genre, and there are not so many games in its genre because nowadays they like to “casualize” everything and make it simpler (A good example is the Battlefield series of games), but this the game shows that the gameplay can be fun even without the “Run, shoot, you’re immortal” scenario, and even on the contrary, it’s fun with the “Hide, save your ammo, you’re mortal” scenario.
Let's move on to why everyone came here.
Gameplay. The gameplay is tense in some moments, it always seems that there is a rat or a sniper sitting somewhere and because of this you play carefully and don’t bother too much, the cartridge is sometimes scarce, the enemies are everywhere, and you are alone, you never know where the enemy will come from or a grenade will fly in, and if you're unlucky, you'll get a bullet in the head. And it's actually a lot of fun once you get used to it. 9.5 out of 10
Graphics. The graphics, as expected from Unreal Engine 4, are beautiful and pleasant, everything looks clear and nice, the weapons are detailed and look like a real sample, the characters also look like they are alive and are dressed differently (Thanks to the variety of clothes for this). 10 out of 10.
Plot. The plot, if I'm not mistaken, the war in Iraq, it was a brutal battle. Well, there is essentially no plot, just 2 sides fighting for points. 6.0
Management. The controls are convenient and understandable; when you get used to the game and play it for a couple of dozen hours, you will already know it by heart.
In general, the controls are pleasant and convenient 9.5
Sound and music. Well, here, as usual, I’m not very friendly with music in multiplayer games and prefer to play without it, but the weapon sounds like a real one, the sound of reloading, firing and the sounds of aiming, footsteps, the sounds of clothes rustling. Everything is worked out and sounds beautiful. 10 out of 10.
Multiplayer is alive, there are people and still playing quite a lot, I have seen new players, which means that people are still coming to this game and getting new experiences.
There are also old players who have been playing for a long time and already with upgraded equipment, which, by the way, does not greatly affect the balance, not like in some games that I will not name. 9.7
