    Every element of Rekoil looks and feels cheap. Visuals are horribly dated. I encountered inexplicably long load times when customizing my loadout. Spawns are broken, and I was frequently gunned down before I could even get my bearings. Graphical glitches abound in almost every round. In the midst of this mess, Rekoil also frequently crashes to the desktop.

    There's no excuse in releasing a game that's held together by good intentions. There was more to the classic shooters than speedy movement and accurate guns, which is just about all Rekoil has going for it. The rest is a mess of bugs and bad design choices.

    Rekoil has taken a laundry list of what could go wrong with a game and promptly checked nearly every box. There are moments when everything seems to go right, and you are reminded why simple online multiplayer shooters ruled the world. But those moments are wedged between frustrating glitches, lag, and a plethora of other problems.

    Unfortunately, while its developer can roll out a patch to improve its performance, it can’t roll out a patch that will increase its player-count. With that being said it is impossible to recommend Rekoil, a game which is swiftly heading towards stagnation before it ever had a chance to prove itself.

    Unattractive, uninspiring, and unstable, Rekoil tries to be every other shooter out there, but one would have more fun with almost any other shooter out there. If one has to choose between this and Takedown: Red Sabre, get this. That's the only circumstance under which I'd recommend it, though.

    If you value your pay packet, you’re better off saving it for anything else, as Rekoil shows all the signs of having a quick and painful death on its way to digital oblivion. Most players must have come to this conclusion already, as, within an hour, it was almost impossible to find a full match. Some would call that a lucky break.
