Played this more and honestly, I don’t think you are intended to like this game—at least not fully. It takes an insane amount of time to learn each map and get good. EFT is about highs and lows (although it sucks ass when starting out) and I think it just forces a love/hate relationship that is unique to this genre of game. The good news is that finding a party is as easy as joining the discord. You learn less in a group but you die less often (generally).

Great game, would like to see a pve game mode added at some point. At least personally I would only play this with friends, it takes a while to get good and learn the maps--even once you get the hang of it there are some days where you can lose a lot of gear...not for everyone but if it appeals to you then it could easily be a 5/5 for you
