What is this game? Well, it's literally real-time XCOM2 when playing the campaign(s).
While I'm very aware that both games in the franchise are based on the classic Warcraft3 Custom Maps (Dawn of the Dead and Co.), it's still the best comparison one could make.
The strategic layer is almost a 1 to 1 cheeky copy of XCOM2's and I like it.
Price is also stellar especially after picking up the Game+SeasonPass bundle for 25 moneys.

I paid for it on release but there is no way I'm even gonna bother reinstalling the game for it.

When the game works and is firing from all cylinders, it's truly a blast.
The game itself is great and I enjoy it very much.

But currently, I can't recommend it due to various issues.
Among log-in issues, which I can live with, they managed to kill my performance one patch at a time.
The game ran beautifully, barely dipping below my capped FPS of 75, with the launch version and patch 1.000.004. I had medium CPU usage and high GPU usage, as it should be.
Every patch after, meaning 1.000.005 (which they even had to roll back), my CPU and GPU usage switched places, literally did a 180° and therefore I ended up with degraded performance.
There was no visual or performance gain from these questionable optimizations/changes, quite the contrary, whatever they were doing to fix it for others, they were killing it for me.
I often look at permanent 80-100% CPU usage now and at most 6-50% GPU usage, the latter highly fluctuating but generally suspiciously low in around the 10-20s.

CPU: i9 9900K @ Stock
MB: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS XI HERO
RAM: 16GB Corsair Dominator 3200
GPU: ASUS STRIX 3080
PSU: 850W Corsair HX850i
SSD: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB NVME m.2 and Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB SATA
HDD: None
Display: 27" 1440p 144hz LG 27GL850 (GSync compatible)

I'll change my recommendation as soon as these issues are leviated and they clearly can be because they were caused by the patches.

We're currently at version 1.000.12 and the issue still stands.

False advertising. Some of the armor and weapon skins don't match the advertising.
Psyker body armour, Psyker Staff and Zealot Hammer for example.

*EDIT/Update*
Psyker armor was fixed and resembles the artwork now.
Staff and Hammer are still not matching the artwork.
Ogryn Knife depicted in artwork is actually just a default skin for one of the Cleavers.

Early Access Review
Takes all the best things of Albion Online, Battlerite, Rust, Conan Exiles and action rpgs.
Offical and custom servers.
Put's them in a bowl with some bat soup.
Mixes the unliving daylight out of it and is perfectly seasoned.
One of the most polished, if not the most polished Early Access title I've played.
And I've played tons of them.

Here is hoping the developers know what a gem they're holding in their hands.
The potential for the future is immeasurable.
But so are the possibilities to ruin it all.

Good idea, terribly naive execution.
Especially for the PC version.
Competitive game with extremely high client authority.
Balancing was also done strictly based on telemetry.
Dev team seemed tone deaf / out of touch in general or on a very tight leash.
Communication and transparency also lacking.
Didn't come with alot of the most basic PC game standards.
The list goes on but the game is already dead...
