3/5 ★ – xXWoodinatorXx's review of Insurgency: Sandstorm.

Journal Style Review: First couple hours led with a decent first impression. The guns feel great. The number of guns is impressive and I like the load out system. I’m kind of torn on all the guns and unlocks being available to begin with. It’s sort of refreshing but I also feel like I’ll miss the sense of progression from unlocks. I really like testing out different guns. That’s been fun. 13 ish hours in. I love the feel of the guns, and the unique load outs you can create. The problem is a lot of games it just feels like I walk around a corner and immediately die. I’m not the biggest fan of the game modes and map feel. But it has some great moments spread out between frustration. I wish there were battlefield style game modes and maps with these realistic feeling guns. Maybe it would be too chaotic but the idea sounds great to me. Final Score: B
