Whether you are looking for an excellent FPS, arguably one of the best I’ve played in recent years, or just looking for an alternative to the Call of Duty formula, look no further. Unlike other FPS titles, Sandstorm will challenge you and force you to think less as a player, and more like a soldier. It’s “time to kill” is ridiculously short, forcing you to be tactical and precise. It focuses on skills and delivers a satisfying and immersive experience. Sandstorm was originally supposed to feature a single-player story, in which the player is a female Kurdish freedom fighter. [8] However, the single player and cooperative story has been canceled for release, and will be considered again at a later date due to its high production requirements.

Insurgency: Sandstorm update for October 4, 2019 - Patch 1.4.1 Now Live". SteamDB. October 4, 2019 . Retrieved February 12, 2020. Insurgency: Sandstorm’s minute-to-minute gameplay is, as a result, frantic, tactical, blistering and fear-inducing, all at once. Time-to-kill is exceptionally low, with 1-2 shots all that’s required to put down almost anyone. Supported by a handful of competitive and a couple of co-op modes, it’s got some strong foundations for long-term play. Competitive game modes (Push, Firefight, Frontline and Domination) are all objective orientated, with a heavy emphasis upon capturing control zones and occasionally destroying objective caches. The differentiation comes in how frequently your team can respawn and the flow of matches.

Footsteps are loud, with directional audio allowing for friend and foe alike to discern your location with a keen ear. Reload times are long and heavy. Recoil is all-consuming – for the first time, a game actually encouraged me to use semi-auto and single-fire modes on virtually all weapons to actually be able to tame them. Units shout out their movements, actions and when under fire. It all feeds into an overarching sense of immersion, before long I found myself thinking and acting like a soldier instead of a player, it’s brilliant, sometimes uncomfortable stuff. Sandstorm's optimization received some criticism, with Worth Playing writing "In the heat of an intense battle, your processor will also put out some heat." [31] A more critical review came from PCGamesN, who felt the game was "behind the times in both theme and looks" with "nameless locations with nameless conflicts", lamenting the removal of the planned story campaign, which would have featured "two Iraqi women crossing a war-torn land"—"It’s a shame to miss out on a potentially refreshing perspective."

Insurgency: Sandstorm is the highly-anticipated successor to Insurgency, a game beloved for its intense and immersive gameplay. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, it promises an incredible visual upgrade along with exciting new features that will captivate fans of the original title. With its roots firmly planted in PC gaming, those dedicated players can look forward to transitioning seamlessly into this revitalized experience designed for console platforms as well. The maps work incredibly well and are thoroughly designed to maintain this element of uncertainty, with no traditional 3-lane offering from what I experienced. It’s a shame that maps are unfortunately all largely desert focused, as there can be some overlap and feeling of repetition to them the more you play and see the same styled buildings and beige colour scheme. Nothing that ruins the experience by any means, but a bit more variety may aided it from becoming a little stale aesthetically. Operation Desert Bugs
