Arma 3 Contact – Review

Arma 3 Contact – Review

Arma 3 has always reveled in realistic military simulations, and when they announced that they were doing a standalone expansion with an alien setting, I was immediately intrigued. I expected them to not break their realistic approach and combat scenarios, and they completely deliver.

Arma 3 Contact tells the tale of mankind’s first encounter with an alien species, and it’s fun, intense and really thoughtful. Without spoiling the story, which is actually good, I’ll just say that it’s not a run of the mill alien shooter. Instead, premise is setup properly and suspense is built up accordingly. It’s a really interesting take on first contact, and the process of understanding and learning from it. There’s combat, and the new terrain and weapons are a welcome change. There’s also a good bit of science thrown your way, and I enjoyed every single minute of it.

Pros:
Great story
Grounded delivery
Intense Arma style combat
Looks great

Cons:
Constant frame drops

Score – 9/10
