I want to share my thoughts on the game as well as provide some help to those who don't know much about the game or haven't played it in a long time:īought this, the past summer and still haven't uninstalled, in spite of limited storage space on my rig. With Insurgency, since it's the sequel to an MP-only game, their safest bet was to fall back on that demographic, and it worked pretty well for them.

Early Accessing a story-driven game is a nightmare, and We Happy Few is a good example of this. It's really easy to Early Access an MP title. You can spend 3-5 years crafting a AA singleplayer campaign and sell 100,000-500,000 copies (or sell 15,000 despite acclaim), or you can spend half that time working on an MP game into Early Access, and if you're lucky you sell millions of copies.

There seems to be a trend of tactical shooters becoming multiplayer games, and I think it possibly stems from the fact that singleplayer FPS games require diverse teams (stuff like voice actors and "cinematic animators" are NOT optional) and they don't have the kind of viral potential of MP games. The big AAA games suffer from either being outright compromised by American military connections, or somewhat softball in how they portray military conflicts.

I would have loved to see a smaller developer's road trip military FPS with a tactical shooter bent. (The chances of them ever picking up the campaign again are slim to none.) I understand that the developers made a difficult decisions considering the resources they had available, but I think it's a shame that this kind of subject matter will likely only ever be touched on by Call of Duty or Battlefield. But then the campaign was cancelled, and since I'm not really interested in multiplayer shooters, I lost interest.
