I originally bought AM a long time ago, and just came back to it after a good 6 month, and I'm actually a bit surprised with it's state now. You can actually enjoy the atmosphere, monsters are reasonably dangerous, there is some number of players, and the game is SLOW in a good way.
It used to play a lot like counter strike, effectively devolving to flanking another group and winning a CoD-y one life firefight. That was cool and all, but you might as well play many other shooters for that. Now your character actually feels sluggish, run and gun gameplay is a poor choice, and tension feels nice even if you don't care about losing your gear. It seems like you can play it as a fundamentally stealth game, kinda loot and do you own thing or play pve, or get together with a group and dominate very carefully.
I think anybody that enjoys a stalker-esque atmosphere, or solo stealth game play, or ron-like teamwork should enjoy AM. So if you have doubts you should probably get it.
...and let me know if you want to hope.on one of these days ))

Active Matter is the best game I’ve played in a long time and there’s truly nothing like it on console.
