Holy crap this game is good, I've gotten a ton of hours on this game and still have not gotten bored of it. I'm going to go over all of the core features of ravenfield below:

Infantry combat:
Just infantry combat alone is fun as heck, (Especially when you set bot count to 300), there's a good amount of guns to choose from, grenades, and rocket launchers :D Infantry combat is also especially fun in close quarter combat, with shotguns, pdws, and smgs.

Vehicle combat
Ravenfield has a ton of vehicles to choose from depending on the maps you choose. Ranging from tanks, jets, attack boats, and helicopters. All of these are relatively easy to control as ravenfield has simple but customizable controls.

The AI itself

Ravenfield's AI can be pretty smart in some situations and pretty dumb, for example, the AI can go and try to flank the AI or use cover tactically, but in other situations they are not so smart, for example you see them running over AI or the player a lot in vehicles (This is being fixed I think.) The AI will crash jets alot by doing strafing runs at a low altitude, and there is also a problem with the AI not manning turrets nearby. But overall the AI is pretty neat and is fun to play with as you don't have people screaming into their mics "What are you doing??" "No don't kamikaze that jet into one player!" "You're so bad why are you even playing this game???" and that brings me to my next topic

Skill levels

The AI can be hard or easy to fight depending on how high you set the difficulty. Lower difficulties make AI easier to fight as they will commonly assualt locations with no personal regard for their safety, have less accurate aim, and won't be a smart with attacking flags. In harder difficulties AI will make an effort to get around you and to the flags, use cover more efficiently.

The game idea itself

The idea of ravenfield is to be like a sandbox version of battlefield. Nobody telling you what to do, you can do what you want. You want to kamikaze a plane into a helicopter that killed you mulitple times? Then do it! Nobody is telling you not to. It's not like the AI would get mad at you!

Gamemodes

For the sake of not having a long and tedious review, I'm not going to explain them all, however there are multiple guides you can look at. The gamemodes that exist as of now are:
Dominiation
Battle
Skirmish
Haunted
Spec ops
and Point match

There's not any modding for custom gamemodes yet but the dev is hoping to add that soon.

Modding

Modding is one of the core features of ravenfield, I recommend experimenting with them as they add more vehicles, weapons, maps, and equipment. Modding really adds a ton of content to this game and is what makes it as popular as it is today!

Graphics

The graphics in this game are pretty simple so you can have tons of bots fighting with minimal lag, but you have amazing map makers such as tug that makes maps that make the game look amazing despite the low-poly graphics.

What I dislike about ravenfield (Kinda based so you can ignore this if you want)

The AI's stupidity: I don't like how stupid the AI can be like how I explained earlier, AI will sometimes lob a grenade that kills alot of their teammates, run over other AI, and will not use vehicles to their advantage.

The lack of vehicles in some vanilla maps: I feel as alot of the vanilla maps could use more vehicles as you have maps like citidal that only rewards the attack with 1 apc, 1 rhib, and 1 helicopter, I feel like vanilla maps would be a lot more fun if they just increased the vehicle count on them making them more combined arms based.

Weapon balancing: I feel like a lot of weapons could be more balanced as a headshot kills every instantly, making most long range guns and shotguns seem useless to use if you can hit headshots well.

Conclusion
Well other than that I think ravenfield is a very great game, with tons of features, freedom, and content to offer you. I got this game on sale for $5.07 but I wish I would've gotten it full price to support the developers more, I think this game is worth more than just $15 with the amount of content this game has to offer. I highly recommend getting ravenfield for the many hours of gameplay you could get out of it.

Have a good day!
