Enjoying the playtest, might actually buy in. Some highlights as an Apex and Tarkov fag
>audio is super crispy and accurate
>gear setup is really streamlined. Getting into raid is nice and quick. Been abusing the free kit (basically your Scav, but you can do quests).
>lots of incentives to get you to go into raid (free kit, chicken gives resources regardless of whether you succeed or not).
> overall, people seem more cooperative. ironically even it's free right now I expected everyone to be griefers but sometimes proxy chat can negotiate you into a group extract
>PvE is actually impactful.
I thought Embark did okay with The Finals, but I think they still are missing the secret sauce with that game. This game has all the right ingredients though. I don't preorder, but I'll keep my eye on buying in the first week.
