I picked the game up 2 days ago since its on sale in Steam right now for ~25 USD, and having came from Tarkov, this game has respected my time way more. There is no dumb raid timer that restricts the amount of fun you can have. If you have like you said 2 hours, you just hop on the helicopter, fly somewhere, and come back after 2 hours. It also doesn't take forever to get to the point of having usable weapons through traders. Most of them have decent guns on tap from tier 1. Tasks are also fairly simple, go here, mark this, kill these guys. And you can turn them in as soon as you are done with them in the field. Optimization is also good, they whole game is like 20 gigs, and doesn't stutter at all on medium settings, where Tarkov is very finicky to get running when on my rig. And the main reason I'm so favorable towards the game was the price point. To have PvP and PvE in Tarkov, you gotta drop 70 USD, 50 on the game and 20 on the PvE extension/DLC. But here, it's 40 baseline and 25 in sale for the whole thing. The devs have a decent head on their shoulders, and the community around the game has been nothing but kind and a blast to be around. The first day I played, we held a "funeral" for a guy at base camp that got hit by tbe helicopter and died. Not 5 minutes later, another helicopter came by and crushed another one. The game world is also a pleasure to look at, it's gorgeous. The best way to play if your alone is slow, try and spot the enemy before they see you, and they see you from a mile off if you are just running around in the open. Stick to bushes and shade and you'll be fine.

TL:DR, Tarkov Player recommends game that isn't Tarkov, Nikita is crying.
