SAND: Raiders of Sophie

Idee ist gut. Umsetzung ist unfassbar schlecht. Anfangs gabs keine Duo Queue, dann haben sich die Devs wochenlang gewehrt. Dann unter großem Druck doch umgesetzt. Jedes Game teamt irgendjemand. Manchmal sind doch Trios in der Duo Queue also die funktioniert auch nicht. Wenn man mal 1 von 100 Games erwischt, dass keine Teamer hat, haben die unfassbar OP Stuff weil es kein Gear Based Matchmaking gibt. Early Access hin oder her ich hab das Gefühl, dass die Devs garkeine Lust haben ihr Spiel zu fixen und sich gegen alles was es verbessern würde wehren. Teamer kriegen einen Bann von einer Stunde was soll das? Falls die Devs doch Lust haben sollten machen Sie es verdammt schlecht.

Hackers in Sands: Raiders of Sophie have completely ruined the game for me. I understand that every online game is going to have cheaters in some form, but things like noclipping and teleporting to steal much-needed weapons, food, Trampler parts, and other valuable loot cross the line. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth that doesn't go away. I genuinely enjoyed this game until it finally happened to me during a six-person run on the US East server. After spending an hour gathering resources and progressing, everything was gone because a hacker simply teleported in and took it. That's an hour of my time wasted. The report system feels pointless when there are so many reports being submitted. Even if the hacker is eventually banned, the legitimate players don't get their stolen loot back or their lost time refunded. This should be one of the highest priorities for the development team. Anti-cheat and player security are just as important as adding new content. If players don't feel their time is respected or their progress is protected, they'll eventually stop playing. I really want this game to succeed because the gameplay is fun, but until the hacking problem is addressed, it's difficult to recommend it.

I really like the core concept of this game. It has such a solid foundation with its mechanics and the theming is so on point! I just feel like this game doesn't know what it wants to be. It's an extraction game at its core - going into levels and looting them so you can extract with your loot to level up and do it again - but it lacks the common mechanics of extraction games like having "rats" or "scavs" which are free loadouts that provide a way to play with no risk of losing something you haven't looted. It's also Sea of Thieves game where you have a ship you load up with gear to go "sailing" and find loot, but it lacks the mechanics that Sea of Thieves has to balance the different kinds of "boats" (walkers). It's also a vehicle combat game like Guns of Icarus (steampunk theme and all), but lacks the crew/ship dynamics that game had to help keep battles engaging and fair. Again - I really like this game, and I really want it to be successful, but there just seems to be a lack of direction for what they want this to BE as a game, and if they are aiming for it to be all the games I listed above then they have a HELL of a task in front of them to balance it all! I just don't see a way for them to balance the vast difference in walkers without matchmaking. I don't see a way for them to balance looting and losing loot on death without a scav option. I don't see how they keep the ship mechanics of driving/repairing/shooting engaging and balanced without fixed ship layouts/types. I really hope they can, but if they don't than sadly this game will be dead inside of a year in my personal opinion.

Even though I barely scratched the surface, this game is actually really fun and addictive. Once I get on I leave after 3 or 4 hours of gameplay before I even realised the time has passed. Yes, is still has many issues, minor bugs or sometimes bigger ones, issues with teamers and cheaters ( I have yet to encounter one, although the internet and people I played with already struggle with this ). The good thing is that this game actually receives good support and the devs really look like they are passionatea bout this game. They are actively on discord with patch notes and major game changes. This game is on a good track. The grind is although a bit tedious, but it's still fun nontheless. I recomment it!

Game is filled with cheaters and dupers and pre-teamers. Game is very buggy on top of it the team fights do not make sense. One dude shoots our reactor for 3 seconds our reactors explodes. me and my duo dump all of our 40 mm ammo and 80 mm into enemys reactor is unfazed and 100% fully healed. on top of my tramp explodes in the storm meanwhile the enemy teams tramp heals in the storm i guess enemy team proceeds to laser us even though they are in the storm and not visable outside the storm lasering my tramp while they take zero dmg from the storm. 0/10 this game is awful nothing about it makes sense DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!! You will just rage quit and question the team fights that happen in this game because they make zero sense. once again 0/10 game terrible game literally cannot exfil with any loot without dying. I have been poor for the last 10 raids. game is impossible to play.

The game used to be fun. Now it's riddled with teamers in discord calls using it to their advantage. I've reported these guys several times and clearly nothing has been done. Fun idea, terrible execution, you run into a new glitch every game. Getting stuck on a ladder, clipping through walls, horrible desync between shots and other players. Name it and that glitch exists i swear. 211 hours played by the way, not like I tried it and didn't like. I tried it and put up with the issues because it was a fun idea. Not anymore...teamers have ruined it for everyone
