Tech wise the game is very disappointing. Awful optimization (if you can even call it that) and performance. It looks so so but runs slower than a donkey.

Gameplay wise PvE is slow and boring. All abilities feel rather weak despite casting so much FX you can't see anything. This is amplified in party dungeons where everyone emits more particles than there are in known universe. Even generic NPCs have too much health. Bosses have very limited patterns which just adds to the generic feel.

There was no love given to this game during development. And it shows.

Final score -1/4
I'd rather waste my miserable existence on reddit than on this.

Luckily I avoided most technical issues that seem to plague some people.
Game runs smoothly, controls with mouse and keyboard very well (especially for a brawler) and overall it's a solid port. Not the best, but quite good.

As far as the game goes it's excellent. The atmosphere and everything else that comes with it is spot on.

Except that one part at the start where it says "real yakuza use a controller" or something like that. No, real yakuza use mouse and keyboard because it is the superior method of controlling the world - /r/pcmasterrace #atheism

For how cheap it is you can't go wrong really.

10/10 will play again.

The gameplay bits are great, the infinite loading times and boring cutscenes not so much.
Wish it was more like MP1/2 but that would be too good of a game, we have sinned too much to deserve that.

One of the better Mafia games. Great atmosphere, decent graphics. Story so so but it is a Mafia game.

It's as if Dante had a baby with Metal Gear. What you get is action so pure it brings many tears to many eyes. If only you could play as Sam & Dean in the main campaign.

Completed on hardest difficulty in 4 hours or so. Short but fun.

A great entry in The Witcher(TM) series. Somewhat clunky but overall quite deep and enjoyable experience.

Great puzzles, relaxing atmosphere, amazing OST (please put it on Spotify maybe)

One downside I can think of is controls are sometimes wonky (spinning the wheel with pieces can be annoying since the points where you have to press to rotate it as opposed to picking a piece are not obvious)

This is Early Access review
I thought Line of Sight was a bad FPS. Meet the new contender: Metro Conflict. First of all, there is no metro. A conflict? Maybe, if you stretch the logic somewhat. But I did not see any metros. The Origin of what, I am not sure, the origin of suck ass maybe?
I usually try to play the games for at least 8 hours to give them a chance, but this one was simply so unbearable I'd rather stick live spiders in my nostrils, even that would be more fun. I am willing to bet that one of CIA torture methods is making their unregistered prisoners play this nonstop.
When you start you get enough coin to buy 1 additional hero. Choose very wisely because if you buy the wrong one, grinding coins is like working fulltime but also overtime. This game is brutal, it doesn't give you another chance at anything and constantly belittles and mocks you by calling your kills beginners luck and sometimes calling you a bastard. Do NOT play if you have low self esteem.

+++ Story mode
Story mode seems very promising. You play a generic soldier man "recruit" and you are surrounded by badass nongeneric generic action heroes in a half sci fi world. It's like offbrand COD:AW. It's quite funny, even more so under influence. It also has great "plot" so you get 3 pluses for that. Maybe we will see a metro later, who knows. This game is full of surprises.

+ Kills feel good
Despite weapons and everything feeling bad, actual kills feel good. They got something right at least.

+ Antman ability
One character's special ability is to become tiny like antman. That took me off guard in how random but hilarious it was. Sadly most other characters have rather boring and unimaginative abilities. Also charging ability takes ages so you don't even get to have much fun. Oh well I guess free games are not meant to be fun.

- No borderless mode
It's 2018 for god's sake, how can there not be borderless window mode?
To make it worse, the default when you first run the game is 1600xSomething fullscreen, making the UI look like I forgot my glasses.

- Russian plague
EU servers are plagued by russians. All you hear is cyka blyat by both 30 and 12 year olds alike. And when they try to call you a hamburger in broken half eligible english it just gets silly. This game needs russian servers and an IP ban from EU ones.

- Spawnkilling
Teams respawn in open, easily accessible areas. You die where you live, at the spot where you are born.

- Lootboxes
All they do is give you gold. You can get 3 items from 1 box and in most cases its a measily amount of gold. Why even have lootboxes if they give you mostly gold? Just give me the gold so I can buy stuff.

-- Atrocious audio design
It's so bad I have to give it two dashes. This game has repeating issue. A ton of audio clips are looped near nonstop. In EDM you get near constant beeping sound as well as announcer going "Dominator" literally every second. After a match you just feel like ripping your spine out and dumping it in a vat of acid. Even SP tutorial has an issue of beeping all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. DominatorDominatordominatorDominatorPowerhouse is all you hear after you're done playing. What the ♥♥♥♥ does powerhouse even mean? A house of power? One of the reasons I had to stop playing was how irritating the looping noises were. Whoever is doing your sound design deserves a demotion. Sounds themselves are fine, but the way they're used is just complete and utter jank.

- Shotguns are underpowered
I love shotguns. Not in this game. It takes a ton of shotgunning to gun someone down. It feels and sounds like a toy. Shotguns in this game are slow and weak. Every other gun except maybe pistols seem to outclass shotguns.

- Weapons feel like shait
In general most weapons feel like bb guns. This is due to many reasons. First of all, the damage falloff seems to be very low. Anywhere above 5m smgs become useless. You can spray entire mag onto someone and they still live. What are these bullets made of? Gummy bears? ARs also seem to suffer from same problem. The only exception is sniper rifles. Those things shred everything. 1-2 shots from across the map and you're dirt. Can't even do anything with normal guns. Pray they can't aim and run away. Most weapons also sound quite weak. I guess it makes sense since they seem to do barely any damage. And if there are no sights on your weapon you can't use ironsights. Who thought this was a good idea I don't know.

- General clunk
The game just feels clunk at the moment. Animations are horrid and so are the sounds and graphics. Movement feels not as responsive as it could be. The fact that there is no sprint doesn't help.

-- Some unlocks are timed
If you're a game dev, here's a great idea: give players timed unlocks for leveling up their characters. You got level 10? Here have this pistol. Oh wait, it's only valid for X days now go grind more lootboxes for those measily coin rewards. I.. what? Why am I rewarded with a tease? Give me a permanent unlock or a decent monetary reward. None of this trial weapon bullcrap.

- Main menu UI is awful
When I changed resolution from default to native I thought the UI would become crisp. It did not. Even at 1080p it looks like a kid's failed watercolour project. UX is quite bad too. Menu placements make little sense. Why do I have to go into character inventory and then misc category to open lootboxes? Why do I have to open them individually? Why is open process so boring and painfully slow? Why not?

This is by far the worst multiplayer FPS I have played yet. Even Line of Sight is better and that one is quite a monkey butt itself. But hey it is still EA so it might get better... haha

Final score 5/12

It was good but then devs killed it. What a rotten way to go.
