Arma Reforger Reviews

Epic game, great visuals, great mechanics. little bit lack-luster in my opinion when it comes to vehicles, i mean it has trucks cars and helicopters but in my experience i'v not seen any ifv or apcs outside of modded servers

removed family share after I bought this game over a year ago. Would have bought on a different account had I known they would remove this option.... Family share should be grandfathered in if they want to change it....

Invasion is better then squad, graphics and performance better then arma 3. Wish the helis had mouse controls but they're still quite easy to fly with keyboard controls unless its one of the big transport helis. Id buy it if you enjoy squad but get burnt out with it, and want something simpler with arma 3 that looks and plays better. Recommend the rubberband invasion servers they're great.

Multiplayer (Co-op specifically) does not work for some people, including me, despite opening the necessary ports in firewalls. Single player is abysmal at best, but probably fixable with mods that will break your saves every new update. Probably a fun little sandbox if you are so inclined, the game is very immersive. However I purchased the game to play at least some form of co-op in the form of PvE. By the time we gave up on trying to fix the co-op issues I had already used up my allotted 2 hours of 'demoing' this software. Not recommended if you don't know how (or don't want to) to deal with networking issues. Not recommended if you expect a fully blossomed single player experience.

Arma: Reforger has quickly turned into one of my favorite Mil-Sim/Large Scale Shooters of all time. I come from the crowd who played a lot more action-packed Large Scale Shooters like Rising Storm 2: Vietnam & Battlefield. While I have played quite a bit of Squad & even more Arma 3, they never fully clicked with me. Squad is fun but it's heavy Unreal Engine 4 feel mixed with the fact that no one ever communicates really pushed me away. It's hard getting into a Squad match sometimes when getting a Squad that talks is such a mixed bag. Arma 3 on the other hand, while being the pinnacle of Bohemia's Charm, is such an impossible game to get into nowadays. Arma 3 is one of the least beginner friendly games I have ever played, and I don't mean in the gameplay itself, I mean how it's near impossible to find a reliable server and stick to it. After playing Arma Reforger, I can safely say it's holds such a middle ground between Squad & Arma 3 that it feels almost perfect. It has that fantastic Bohemia charm & gameplay with the more beginner friendly server-browser & community (I believe with the addition of Crossplay helped immensely). Arma: Reforger is the peak of Bohemia's Charm, it's the great gameplay of Arma 3 except on a brand new engine, incredibly polished (this game just plays so much better than Arma 3), & has a significantly more stable performance. While FPS won't be particularly high, it'll be pretty consistent with barely any major hitches. The control scheme is simplier than Arma 3 without being dumbed down, with that the QOL changes it has over it's previous entry is... god it's so nice. I love the return of Arma: Cold War Assault's setting, bringing back the fantastic Cold War setting with it's fictional locations like Everon & Arland. As someone who loves the Cold War setting in games, this has been a huge treat for me. I highly recommend this game if you love a good Mil-Sim game with a fantastic Cold War coat of paint.

Very fun game, don't play official servers, they will cause headaches

Its just Arma 3 but better. So much physicality, bespoke animations that everyone can see for pretty much every action in the game. The driving is so much more fun too especially with the new impact based ragdoll physics. Its just the best military sandbox on the market right now. I love it, you'll love it. Get this shit now homie

if youre from SEA and Oceania youre stuck between two servers and it will get repetitive quite quickly. We dont have the variety and option America does

I love how this game is realistic , and requires team work instead of just running around shooting people

[h1]A Legendary Sandbox With Legendary Frustration[/h1][h3](For Solo PvE)[/h3] [i]First off:[/i] [b]Arma Reforger is fantastic with friends![/b] I’ve spent 50 hours in the game so far, always playing with a great friend. We’ve already had some of the most intense, unexpected, and hilarious moments together. Honestly, those multiplayer sessions are gaming gold. [i]Highly recommended for co-op mayhem![/i] [hr] [h2]But Here’s The Catch...[/h2] I also want to play [b]solo PvE[/b], at my own pace, just for pure relaxation. Sometimes you don’t want to coordinate or keep up with others; you just want to take your time, explore, and enjoy the sandbox without pressure. And here’s the shocker for 2025: [b]You cannot simply save your progress in solo/offline mode![/b] [hr] [h3]Why So Complicated?[/h3] [list] [*]You must launch a dedicated server with command line magic. [*]You have to copy mods, match GUIDs, and troubleshoot configs. [*]If you mess up even one detail, you get kicked with cryptic errors. [*]No simple [b]Save Game[/b] button for PvE, not even offline! [/list] [i]It’s so technical I felt like I was prepping for a network admin job instead of relaxing in Everon.[/i] [hr] [h2]Dear Bohemia,[/h2] Please, please add an [b]easy save/load feature[/b] for solo players! Some of us have jobs, families, or just want to play at our own speed, without setting up a data center every time we want to take a break. [hr] [h3]The Verdict:[/h3] [b]Multiplayer co-op: 10/10. Incredible fun![/b] [b]Solo PvE for regular humans: 3/10. Too frustrating: give us a save button![/b] If you ever add a real “save & continue” for solo play, I’ll come back and rewrite this as a glowing review. Promise! [hr] [quote=Cheezix]It shouldn’t take a computer science degree just to relax in a solo sandbox![/quote]
