"Grey Zone Warfare" is a fresh game on the scene, offering a unique twist on the extraction game genre. Created by MADFINGER Games, a company previously known for their mobile titles, this $35 game is their first major PC release. It combines player versus player and player versus environment challenges in an imaginative Southeast Asian setting.In "Grey Zone Warfare," players start by choosing one of three factions, each sharing a large map. The gameplay involves battling BOTs with AI, searching for loot, and completing missions. However, be cautious: if you die during the game, you lose all your loot and gear.

The game catches both new and experienced players by allowing you to select either a pure player versus environment mode or a mixed mode that includes other players, real players obviously means better loot. This flexibility, along with simpler mechanics and a safer base area for each faction, makes "Grey Zone Warfare" an accessible alternative to more complex games like "Escape from Tarkov," which is currently embroiled in it's own drama right now.

Despite its appeal, "Grey Zone Warfare" is currently facing technical issues, such as low FPS, even on high-end gaming PCs. If you're considering buying the game, you might want to wait until these performance problems are resolved.

Even though it has some issues, it has even surpassed the player count of veteran games like Counter-Strike for a brief period, which is quite impressive. The last game, that made it so far was Paladins

"Grey Zone Warfare" is still in early access, which means it's not finished yet. The developers are planning to add more content and make improvements over time. For anyone looking for a new game to try, "Grey Zone Warfare" promises an evolving world that might just become more challenging and engaging with future updates. Keep an eye on this game as it develops into a top pick for both newcomers and seasoned players. Totally worth the $35!
