If ever there was an example of outstanding FPS gunplay, Insurgency: Sandstorm is surely it. Still, Insurgency: Sandstorm punches well above its weight, offering phenomenal gunplay that shows up much of its big-budget competition. Elsewhere, though, things aren't quite as glamorous: I found most of its maps to fall into the “just okay” category due in part to poorly defined restricted areas that, on top of being annoying to encounter, are easily exploited. Its arsenal consists of some of the best-realized firearms in any video game to date thanks to stellar sound design, punchy animations, and obsessive attention to detail. Its sequel was released - again only on PC - in 2018, with the planned console edition delayed several times.Insurgency: Sandstorm is an excellent multiplayer shooter that successfully avoids the common pitfalls of military simulation, but still manages to deliver an immersive, at times disturbing, sense of realism to its modern, Middle Eastern setting. As Matt explained at the time, the series gained quite a following, thanks to its more realistic take on the classic first-person shooter formula. The original Insurgency was released for PC in 2014 and was the fully-fledged standalone successor to New World Interactive's popular Half-Life 2 mod Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat. It's also not yet clear if a digital release will accompany the physical one, but we'll confirm that as and when we find out more. We can't yet be 100 per cent sure - particularly as neither developer New World Interactive nor the game's own Twitter account has confirmed the release just yet - but it's good news for fans nonetheless, particularly as the console release has been delayed several times since it's planned launch in 2018.
