Foxhole Review (Splendid)
Excellent game, there are literally dozens upon dozens of different roles you can fill which all matter to the wider war at large. You can be a medic, engineer, soldier, scout, saboteur, anti-saboteur, artillery player, artillery spotter, delivery driver, logistics route defender, navy player, tanker or even a logistics player who specialises in supporting any of those roles. I haven't even mentioned all of the different roles you can play either. Even the combat in the game is incredible varied. There are skirmishes, small battles, large battles, days long sieges, ambushes, naval engagements, artillery skirmishes and covert sabotage fights. This is one of my favourite games that I've played in the past few years and some of my best gaming memories are from moments I've had in this game.
Unfortunately the developers of the game refuse to hire moderation staff to curb the toxicity of the player base. Instead moderation is largely handled by a mass report system, specifically abused by a small number of clans (60-70% of the clans are fine, the rest are abusive children). This leads to an extremely low player retention rate as a few bad egg clan players can and do report new players for not understanding the game properly yet or simply because they disagree with how that player is playing the game. This leads to players with less than an hour of playtime being temp-banned for multiple hours, which can often repeat until that player quits as they never have the chance to learn the game.
What's worse is that due to the nature of the reporting system, clan players cannot effectively be punished for their toxic and selfish behaviour by new and solo players. Due to this perceived immunity they are even so brazen that they won't think twice about continually team killing and griefing other players.
I've introduced three of my friends to this game, one didn't enjoy the combat/general gameplay and quit. One quit after he was temp-banned for an hour because he wouldn't give the tech mats HE FARMED to a clan player. My last friend quit after getting harassed and team killed repeatedly because she told a few clanmen their repeated r*pe jokes were making her uncomfortable.
Again, this is a great game, but certain clans ruin the fun for everyone else.
