Arma Reforger Early Access Review

Arma Reforger Early Access reviewed by Luke Winkie on PC. Also available on Xbox. Narration by Mark Medina.

Arma Reforger is a promising evolution of the Arma formula, and it and the eventual Arma 4 have a chance to be special. On a massive island map, powered by the gorgeous Enfusion Engine, you'll have the chance to join up with a team of dedicated soldiers and work through all sorts of wondrously fiddly military simulation quirks. If you enjoy navigating to a rendezvous point with nothing more than a compass and a paper map as rifle fire peppers the air, Reforger will totally satiate that fantasy. However, with a relatively tiny set of features and a boatload of game-breaking bugs that end nearly every session prematurely, Reforger is very much still a work in progress. It's exciting for those who obsess over the series and have been waiting a decade to play on Bohemia Interactive's new tech, but for now, you're very likely better off sticking with Arma 3.

Dayz did not come from arma 3 it was a arma 2 mod that became standalone and pubg was also an arma 2 mod to begin with

When you play Dayz so bugs and broken games don’t bother you lol

After 2 years, and now released on consoles, the game has aged very well and improved. Please consider doing an updated review. :)

This game isn't even a game, it's a playtest with a $30 price tag. Most of the time you aren't even playing but joining a game that you got disconected from over and over.

[FlatEarthDenier]

It’s not confusing at all. In fact it was very easy to understand simply by the fact it wasn’t called arma 4

[RisingHERO]

This is how you know you cannot take it seriously when it says it cannot keep up the pace with Battlefield 2042 LMAO

[wingusbill]

so much complaining, its an alpha test you bots. dont buy it if you dont like the early state. simple as that.

[MrNess]

This review was totally clueless, even with the game being riddled with bugs and issues. It's also hilarious how you reference no one being on a server, yet you set the filter at the top to only show the lowet pop servers LOL. At least accurately represent the issues in the game if you are going to review it.

[devonhar]

this sounds like one big long excuse for an alpha build being sold for money.
This looks like a complete joke of a game.
Can't believe a professional game developer releases a game in this state.

You might hit them if you weren’t sighted for 400m shooting 50m away

[two_chromosomes]

People say that DayZ had bugs and now it’s better than ever, even though it took years to fix and is still broken. Smh I’m not waiting several years for Arma Reforger to be fixed

[chitownbangin]

So excited to crack into this game later tonight.

operation flashpoint aaaah my golden childhood

Given how often games change months after launch these days, would you consider doing “re-reviews” or catch up reviews on games?

[moist_mike]

You all do know this is a test bed for modders and to show case what arma 4 has for the future

[iceshadow]

How does an unfinished alpha costing $$ get a 6? Way to generous ign.

[jimmywashere]

6 hour free trial on Xbox. Not sure why people don't try it before buying it especially on Xbox cause it's bad on Series X.

[echocongo]

This man did not just compare Arma Reforger to Battlefield 2042 😂😂😂😂 BF 2042 has so many negative reviews, especially on Steam.

[zetetick]

Dude, when you've played ARMA games as long as many of us have (Op Flashpoint in 2003 for me)
the bugs are just part of the whole experience....I guess it's less cool since DAYZ took off and made Bohemia into a MUCH larger professional VG company, and not just a super ambitious indie dev
Also: Frankly amazed that they _finally_ animated the getting into / out of kinda resigned myself to that *never* happening! @__@

[AlphaZeroX]

A new Arma game in years and the first to be on console? Cool. :)
