New extraction shooter Gray Zone Warfare has only been available on Steam Early Access for a few hours, but it's already receiving poor reviews due to performance issues.
Gray Zone Warfare vs Escape from Tarkov
The game is currently listed as "Mostly Negative" on Steam, with the vast majority of negative reviews focused on the game's poor performance and optimization, along with crashes and other common early access issues. Many of the positive reviews, however, have little more to say beyond criticizing Escape From Tarkov and its controversial "pay-to-win" $250 Unheard Edition, and not much about the game itself.
The current top “most helpful reviews” for GZW say “At least it doesn’t cost $250” and “PvE mode that doesn’t cost £250 to play.” Thankfully, not all of the reviews are memes, some offer good advice and feedback.
"Good spin on the extract shooter with great potential," said one reviewer. "Unfortunately, I can't recommend it at this time due to performance issues and server issues. I look forward to future updates and patches."
