[2019] Can we appreciate that it's just as much all the little things as the big things that make this game great?

I think back to the stalker series or the Metro series and what I remember most about them. It was fun gameplay of course, but also all the little details from the art, to the gameplay that helped me engross myself for hours in these world's.

Escape from Tarkov has easily given me that same experience. From the gorgeous music, to the artwork that both creates stories, and tells them. The animations that correctly depict exactly how the guns work, and a customization so deep, it puts any game I can think of to shame. All the barter trades make me think twice about selling something like it's junk. The descriptions make me look into the real world history of every gun, accessory, and food/drink item. The ruined world makes you wonder what everything looked like before the fictional events that took place. Also the memes that have spawned from this game give me a chuckle every time.

We've had our criticisms, but those clearly aren't causing us to spend any less time playing. I'm a EOD owner and it's not even open beta yet, and I already feel I've gotten my money's worth from the hundreds of hours I've poured in.

I remember what this game was like when closed beta first launched, and it is a completely different experience, and is so much more optimized than it was. I think when all is said and done and this hits a major platform like Epic Games Store, or Steam, and the accessibility that comes with that. This game will go down as one of the greatest gems that hit the market. Heck it's already sitting in the top twenty on twitch almost every single day.

Hats of to the entire BSG team, you've created one of the best games I've ever played.

Okay I am done fanboying, had to get that out.
