Should I play Crossout in 2024?

The good

  • [No positive feedback provided in the reviews]

The bad

  • Game doesn’t start, EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) issues.
  • Pay-to-win mechanics.
  • No solo queue, forced to play against premade squads.
  • Endless grinding and very unbalanced gameplay.
  • Small player base, often playing with bots.
  • Insane power creep due to battle pass exclusive items.
  • Awful community.

Verdict

🚗💥 Crossout had a lot of potential with its creative vehicle combat mechanics, but it seems to be plagued by a series of significant issues. From technical problems that prevent the game from starting, to pay-to-win mechanics and an unbalanced, grind-heavy experience, it doesn’t sound like 2024 is the year to jump into this particular wasteland. The small player base and poor community sentiment don’t help its case either. Unless there are major updates or overhauls, you might want to steer clear of this one. 🎮🔄💤
