Now for the gameplay, it's something else, Freeplay (the Escape From Tarkov like game mode) its unforgiving, relentless, and makes you want to ♥♥♥, every small mistake can make you lose hours of progress in a blink of an eye, but the adrenaline that you get from killing the guy that stole your items, its enough to kill an elephant.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

If it's too cold get flamethrower with molotov and make hearts of everyone around You warm, and if You still want to look epic but flamethrower isn't Your thing - get Katana and give close combat new meaning.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Low System Requirements: Due to its simple 2D graphics, the game runs well even on older PCs​
