Like PUBG was to the battle royale genre, this promising prototype of an extraction shooter had so many unique elements going for it that made me absolutely certain it would be the next big thing, even if it was sometimes completely broken in its Early Access state. All these years later, now finally hitting 1.0, it\u2019s pretty shocking how much has changed while it also remains exactly as exasperating as I remember it. The hands-off approach to onboarding that forces newcomers to beat their heads against its unforgiving mechanics for dozens of hours before claiming even a single victory captures the same relentless challenge I\u2019ve always adored, while other frustrations, like its continued bugs, poor technical performance, and inability to address an abundance of cheaters, remains disappointingly worse than ever. I\u2019ve only spent 30 hours with the 1.0 version so far, which (as any veteran player will surely tell you) is no time at all, but right now it feels like this progenitor may have been left in the dust of the genre it spawned.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"escape-from-tarkov-official-gameplay-version-10-launch-trailer\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Escape From Tarkov isn\u2019t just the original standalone extraction shooter, but also the one most fanatically adherent to the ruthless principles on which the genre was founded. Not only are you thrown into a deadly hellscape filled with lethal NPCs and merciless human opponents, but you\u2019re given absolutely no guidance in your quest for survival and loot. Practically none of the progression systems are explained to you, there\u2019s no map for you to look at while out in the field to indicate where the extraction points are, and you could easily spend tens of hours studying weapon attachments and ammo types just to understand how the heck to use the tools of death you\u2019ll find in your journey. <\/p>\n<p>In some ways, I really admire how unrepentant Tarkov is \u2013 its beautifully exacting game design, and the sense of discovery that takes place across hundreds of lessons learned the hard way can be incredibly rewarding. But then there are times where it\u2019s all just so dang frustrating, like how atrociously the UI and menus are organized, as if they were designed specifically to offend you. Whether or not the payoff of finally feeling comfortable enough to bring your best equipment out and try for a proper extraction is worth it will ultimately depend on couple things: your tolerance for pain, and your drive to master something designed to really test your expertise of systems Tarkov refuses to teach you. At least in these early hours with 1.0, I find myself somewhere in the middle of enamoured by its harsh edges and utterly disgusted by outdated design choices.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"poll\" data-id=\"d97fb742-6b2a-4b07-b692-235a5e384a02\"><\/section>\n<p>Unfortunately, the intentionally punishing design is marred by completely unintentional issues that have made this full launch that much harder to enjoy. The servers so far have been incredibly unreliable, with regular disconnects and wait times greater than 15 minutes to get into a match, and cheaters are very prevalent since accounts and items can be sold for real money in the gray market. As a result, I decided to spend most of my time this first week just focusing on the PvE mode for the sake of my sanity. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the matter of just how bad this thing looks and performs by the standards of the day. I remember thinking Escape from Tarkov already didn\u2019t look great when I last revisited it, and coming back to it again a few years later has not done it any favors. Objects in the environment are blurry and low res, and with the exception of the vendors you\u2019ll chat with as you complete quests, human faces look like they were modeled using the monster-generator that is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion\u2019s character creator. It\u2019ll take me a while before I\u2019ve played enough to call this review final, so hopefully developer Battlestate Games will smooth out the worst of these issues before they drive me insane, but it\u2019s been an incredibly rocky start.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I should get back to it \u2013 between the PvE mode, PvP mode, and Arena, I\u2019ve got plenty more to see and do before I can make a recommendation either way. For now, diving back into this influential, daunting game has been equal parts fascinating and irksome, but I\u2019m looking forward to going as deep down the rabbit hole as I can.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"user-list\" data-id=\"170500\" data-slug=\"tieguytravis-favorite-extraction-shooters\" data-nickname=\"Tieguytravis\"><\/section>\n\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I played Escape From Tarkov for the first time in 2018, I remember being captivated by its obtuse, insanely challenging structure.
