Reviews
- Great free-to-play FPS with a mature community and no pay-to-win elements.
- Offers a less intense and more accessible alternative to Arma 3, making it enjoyable for both new and veteran players.
- Diverse game modes that bridge the gap between action-based and tactical gameplay, providing a fun experience.
- The game feels unfinished with clunky controls and movement, making gameplay less enjoyable.
- Limited to 10 players on large maps, which can feel restrictive and lead to repetitive gameplay.
- Graphics are outdated, particularly in urban areas, detracting from the overall experience.

The gameplay in Argo is initially clunky, typical of tactical FPS games, but becomes enjoyable and strategically engaging once players acclimate. It showcases the potential of the Arma community's customizable environment, offering a refreshing alternative to the more complex tactical operations found in other Arma titles. Overall, it is recommended for Arma fans seeking a less intense gameplay experience.
“Once you get used to the initial clunkiness of movement, which is expected in a tactical FPS like this, the gameplay feels very nice and tactically challenging.”
“In my opinion, with Argo, Bohemia has shown that this kind of gameplay is also a possibility in Arma, and for me, it's just another example of the power of the community-based customizable world of Arma.”
“For Arma players, I recommend it as a relief from the more brain-intensive TacOps gameplay.”
