There is very little in the game that explains what your goal is: well, literally it is the title of the game. The progression system is complex and does not lend itself well to new players. Hardcore fans of the game will go searching for video guides and forums to help answer their questions, but the majority of the player base will be left in the dark. There needs to be an introduction to the game's core mechanics that is located within the game, and not in a text guide link or a wiki. Similarly, the health and healing mechanics are well fleshed out in terms of realism, but confusing unless you've done your resea

One of the greatest draws the game has, however, are the high fidelity graphics and sound design. While there are currently a few audio glitches which led players like me to have heart attacks because bullet impact noises will be heard much closer than intended, the game looks and feels like even more of a military simulator than ARMA III , and that's saying something. Everything from the recoil to the scope glare feels real and has a purpose. There are three ways to reload your gun for god's sake: it's a beautiful th

Containers are an extremely rare and valuable gear in Escape from Tarkov . For those wonder what exactly is Escape from Tarkov , it’s an FPS MMO-like game with PVP elements. Players enter raid maps to complete quests, gather better loot, and extract from the raid. Extracting from a raid allows players to keep any gear they find during a raid. However, dying during a raid cause any gear found and brought into a raid to be lost from that character permanen

The difference in Escape From Tarkov story guide from Tarkov is that you can't simply close out the game, or log off of the server, to ensure your safety. You must make it to one of the designated exits, or risk death and, consequently, the loss of all of your hard-earned loot. There were times when I would be mentally-fatigued, or my player would have a broken leg, and I would have to hump my way across the map and pray I wasn't found. The emotional response that this game draws out of its players is insane, and is worth the frustration of the menus and the learning cu

In 2016 Wccftech interviewed Battlestate Games developer Pavel Dyatlov about the prospects of the game. During this interview the question of female soldiers being represented was brought up to Dyatlov and he almost immediately rejected the idea. His first response to the question was, " We considered that, but we came to the conclusion that women are not allowed to be in the war ." The interviewer corrected Dyatlov by saying that women are in fact allowed to see combat these days, but the developer did not change his stance on the issue and stated that women can't handle the stress. Battlestate Games has since released a statement to point out that the article in question is three years old and that the company as a whole does not share the same values of just one of their developers. They went on to say that the developer in question was reprimanded for his statements, but the game still does not have female charact

While Battlestate Games have done a beautiful job so far, the introduction of a clear tutorial that explains all of the game's mechanics would lead to a larger playerbase and, therefore, greater longevity for the game. I hope to continue to watch the map size and player count grow, but even as it is now, Escape from Tarkov is a game that wrenches your heart out of your chest in the best way possi

Seeing as the Dr DisRespect persona is often synonymous with angrily critiquing games and having lengthy rants, seeing the streamer genuinely show appreciation for Escape From Tarkov shows just how strong the game is. Whether or not Dr DisRespect continues to play the title remains to be seen, yet, it looks likely that the title might be a staple of his broadcasts going forward. While the game is already incredibly popular, having Dr DisRespect as a core member of its streaming community would no doubt do wonders for Escape From Tarkov ’s status as a major online title, as well as its popularity on streaming platfo
