You play as a SCAV (a completely randomised character) or PMC (your personal operative) trying to secure loot and extract from around the city of Tarkov. Following in the vein of early DayZ, Escape from Tarkov paints itself as a brutal FPS experience where mistakes and small lapses in judgement are punished heavily. While it’s in the upper end of indie, almost bleeding into the ‘A’ space in production value, I would go as far as to say it has the soul of an indie title, living in relative obscurity and more than willing to take risks. Your run is over, you have lost everything, you have failed to escape from Tarkov… What is Escape from Tarkov?Įscape from Tarkov is a hardcore military FPS developed by Battlestate Games. Then everything stops, your vision fades to black as you collapse lifelessly onto cold tarmac. The gunshots blaze once again, this time far too close for comfort. You’re close now, just a twenty metre stretch of open ground till sniper’s roadblock.

There isn’t a moment to waste, if you’re too slow, there won’t be an extraction anymore. Fumbling through your pockets you top off before crawling through the bushes. Considering the implications of a prolonged firefight, you check your mag, confirming your remaining rounds. Maybe they’ve moved on now but best be safe.

Moments later, everything goes dead silent, is the path to extraction clear? Is it time to stop chewing sugar cubes and high tail it out of customs? You hear the shouts and screams as scav bodies hit the floor, a fully geared PMC is out there on the loose. Gunshots fire off in the distance melding with the occasional explosion.
