  While Insurgency isn’t the greatest looking FPS, it presents itself fairly well and even though it suffers from a few minor graphical and clipping bugs, at the bargain price of $14.99, it’s a hard price to turn down for what it offers. Those tired of the main stream Michael Bay FPS offerings can try Insurgency in confidence, with the knowledge they’re about to play a different brand of FPS.

  Insurgency is a game that doesn’t have any big problems but rather it has a bunch of little ones that culminate. Some of these are ones that the developer can fix over time. There’s already plans to have DLC that will hopefully add new maps, modes and gameplay updates. Support will also be necessary because while this game does have a decent sized community now, if it doesn’t add more levels, it’ll eventually die out like the mod.

  8.0

  With the absurd number of multiplayer shooters available on steam, Insurgency stands out as one with both great gameplay and some degree of uniqueness. Yes, it’s yet another modern military shooter set in the middle east, but it’s adherence to realism and objective based teamplay to go along with satisfying shooting mechanics help it rise above its tired template. It lacks some features most would expect from a shooter released in 2014, most notably any sort of party system, but its tense and exciting tactical gameplay more than makes up for it.

  It’s impressive how “uncool” Insurgency is, in that it ignores the modern shooter trends. It’s slow, and methodical, and there isn’t a grindable unlock or weapon crate to be found. It attempts to make you think about every step you take and every slight weapon tweak, but the odd hitboxes and frustrating lack of saved loadouts undermines some of the good work.

  Intense tactical encounters filled with firefights and flying bodies prove thrilling enough to make it easy to look beyond Insurgency's less impressive visual design. The team dynamic and unique squad system inject something different into the mix too, offering match after match of absorbing cooperative killing that proves good looks aren't everything.

  7.0

  Insurgency is the epitome of the realistic, squad-based, tactical FPS, which is quite the feat for an independently developed and funded product. It has a few problems, sure, but it is constantly evolving and getting tweaked, with tons of new, community-made content published every now and then. Note, however, that, like with every video game that caters to the needs of a very specific type of gamer, this is not for everyone. Some will love its real-life challenge and "restrictions," while others will hate it for them.

  Rather, Insurgency is a game of very specific systems. Each mechanic was chosen and tuned to create a unified experience: tense, gritty, twitchy and tactical.

  Overall, though, Insurgency is a breath of fresh air that stands apart from the shooter duality of Battlefield and Call of Duty. It rewards patient play and encourages teamwork, with satisfying results for players who don’t give into the temptation of taking a run-and-gun approach. The promise of continued post-release support should see the kinks ironed out, and it already has an encouraging player-base, which means it’s easy to find a populated server and learn the ropes in a trial by fire.

  Insurgency es un título difícil de disfrutar en primera instancia, y definitivamente no entra por los ojos. Sin embargo si le damos una oportunidad y lo "conocemos a fondo" puede que nos de más de una alegría... Claro que para eso tenemos que ser fans de las experiencias shooter multijugador crueles y con un punto realista.

  Der Grat zwischen frustrierender Niederlage und einem triumphalen Manöver ist bei Taktik-Shootern mit ihrer brutalen Lernkurve nun mal ein schmaler. Umso erfrischender finde ich, dass ich an meinen eigenen Fähigkeiten, Reflexen und Strategien wachse – und nicht an der Anzahl meiner Erfahrungspunkte. Und so ist Insurgency für mich am Ende immer mehr Liebe als Hass.
