About Escape from Tarkov: Prepare for Escape Edition PC (Beta)
Escape from Tarkov is a tactical first-person shooter set in the fictional Norvinsk region of Russia, around a transition zone between Russia and Europe that serves as a gateway for trade and deals. However, the temptation has proven too much for villainous organisations looking to cash in any way they can and the area has erupted into a tense standoff between Russian forces, UN Peacekeepers and two independent PMCs (Private Military Companies).
These are: United Security (known as USEC) and BEAR. USEC was hired by the corrupt organisation Terra which was responsible for much of the turmoil, while BEAR are their opposition, hired by the Russian authorities to investigate Terra and their nefarious doings.

Amazing Game - Steep Learning Curve
Amazing game but takes some time to get your head around everything. PvP is great fun but don't get attached to any gear as it is soon lost :D
The Pros
Innovative ideas for map extraction
lots of guns and mods
PvP
Immersive combat
The Cons
Hard to get started for new players but well worth the effort. one of the best games I own.

Great fun - hard to master
This is a great game to play both with friends and alone, however don't expect an easy ride - one of the harder games to get good at

Nothing like it
There really isn't anything like Tarkov. It is, in my opinion, the best FPS out there. Can be a very unforgiving game but is a load of fun when playing with friends.

Love/Hate relationship
Spent around 4 years watching Pestily, Lvndmark, and DrLupo as well as some lesser known EFT players such as DeditusLive before I built a PC at the end of 2020. That's where everything in life, my sanity, friendships, marriage all began to suffer. If you are considering buying EFT it's highly recommended that you spend some time watching Twitch streamers of all abilities (not just the top players) so you get a bit of an understanding of how ruthless an experience it is. There are no console games that are even slightly comparable to EFT (showdown is almost similar) so if your coming from COD or BF and think you can run around sliding all over the place quickscoping your going to have problems.
PROS
*It's like some repenting kind of punishment that you didn't realise you needed to make you feel as though your sins have been absolved
*No hand holding whatsoever make the learning curve so steep that every little reward feels massive
*It's so unforgiving that you have no choice but to forget everything you think you know about FPS games and teach yourself that you are worthless, and you will never be good at Tarkov
*Huge maps with insane detail
*Weapons and gear... LOTS of weapons and gear
*Hideout upgrading and the massive list of trader tasks plus daily and weekly operations provides plenty of stuff to do when not being shot in the face
*Bosses to remind you that just in case you thought you were getting the hang of things, you aren't
CONS
*Server stability can be awful with backend errors, desync and random black screens or never ending loading screens
*seems to be game of choice for jobless benefit scroungers that can put in 8 or 9 hours a day and have some cool name referencing how they smoke weed, might seem like a small gripe but the higher your level the better your gear.. casual players are going to get ruined, those with all the time in the world become invincible
*there are still the occasional hackers using aimbots/radars making it even more unfair
With regards to CDKeys I've probably bought 40/50 products from the sight over the last 5+ years and never had any problems. Codes are always instant and always work without fault.
The Pros
The sadomasochistic feel
The Cons
PTSD

A warning
The best way I can describe this game is to compare it to masochism. It's not for everyone, it is incredibly painful but is very rewarding to those he can handle it. Complaining about the game because of it's steep learning curve and hardcore nature is like complaining about a racing game having too many cars. That's not to say the game is free of criticism. It has a lot of problems but if you can climb the mountain that is the learning curve then you will be rewarded far more than most casual games BUT I would recommend you watch a lot of Tarkov content on twitch or youtube before you buy it so that you can know for sure that it's for you because it certainly not for everyone. I have friends who I think would love the game and others who would hate it. If you truly believe that it's for you, I cannot recommend it enough.
The Pros
Rewarding Gameplay
Extreme Realism
Realistic Ballistics
In Depth Weapon Modding
The Cons
Server Issues
Early Access (bugs)

Escape From Tarkov is a "relatively" new hardcore 1st person shooter that takes place in the Norvinsky Region in Tarkov. Your goal is to go into a raid, complete tasks, gather items, find your exfil location and survive. Or at least that's supposed to be the point of the game. Your EFT experience will be much better if you avoid everyone and everything, trusting players is a slippery slope and the AI(scavs) are either made of paper and die easily, or steel and will eat all of your ammunition. All of this comes after even trying to LAUNCH THE GAME. Hope you don't have a limited time to play this game because if their servers are down(this happens A LOT) then you are 100% not playing. This Wipe, it looks like the real Escape from Tarkov is uninstalling the game.
The Pros
Fluid Gameplay
Weapon Customization
AI + Player environments
The Cons
Unstable servers/ desync
Unpredictable/ overpowered AI
BUGGY

Good But a Steep Learning Curve
Fantastic gun play and load out customizations for your character. Recommend playing in a team to increase the chance of survival, if you die you will loose everything your character had on them but if you survive with a good looting run, it can give quite a sense of achievement.
The Pros
Excellent gunplay
Tactical realism
