  I'd recommend it to developers looking to expand from their current game, but for players it's not really worth it yet as the community has not yet matured.

  If you speak french, then you may enjoy? Otherwise stay away! If there were more English streamers promoting then maybe it will take off...?? But I can't honestly say that in it's current state this game is aimed at English speaking players. In the 13 hours I played I have only met 2 other solid players who spoke English and interacted with me. I was kicked of a server for not being French and also ordered to speak in German on another server. Absolutely no Australian/ English / US players ever online when I am online!!

  Great idea. Horrible execution. If you want a TL:DR, that's it. Before it's Early Access release, Onset sounded like a great idea: a customisable multiplayer sandbox set in an open world, built using Unreal. Basically Garry's Mod on steroids running on a powerful engine. Even considering the fact it has only released into Early Access, the game and documentation are severely lacking, relying on the playing developers to create what's missing. And that can be quite hard when the wiki containing all documentation for developers is out of date or incomplete. Even though it is quite extensive when it comes to listing the functions, events, models and more, it's not always reliable. Even at launch a lot of the pages were simply placeholders, with nothing beyond the page name, or lacking crucial information like expected parameters for a function. Other pages that had this information were sometimes incorrect as their content was simply copy/pasted. In addition, it took the developer more than four months to release his version of a roadmap, in the form of a Trello board that doesn't do much to show which place the game is heading. There are currently not enough players to ensure (non-developer) players will get their money's worth in gameplay. French RP servers are the most popular, with around 20-50 players in the evening (also, RP gamemodes make up most of the used gamemodes at the moment). For April, the highest peak of online players was 60, with an average of 18. You'd think with these kinds of numbers the developer would try and look for ways to make low-populated servers interesting to play in, but one solution (and my biggest annoyance) seems to be on the backburner: NPC's. The current implementation of NPC's lacks pathfinding, which means you can definitely program them to move towards points, play animations and all sorts of other things, they will do so ignoring the laws of gravity and clipping through everything. And that's a shame because there's plenty of gamemodes to think of that don't require a lot of players to get started, if there are decent NPC's to fill the gap. Lastly, the community around Onset (forums, Discord) is very hit and miss. While there's most certainly a large amount of people willing to help new players/developers, it's not uncommon to be lambasted for asking for help, or publicly ridiculed for (flawed/imperfect) code when releasing a project you worked on. Certainly for a game where developing (and attracting and keeping developers) is key, you'd think toxic elements would be removed or at least handled. One person was told his latest project was: "Really shit code man. Don't bother releasing your code next time BRUH". That's certainly not the way to help other developers get better. I was hopeful Onset would be a good sandbox to develop for, but after six months I'm not holding my breath anymore. From everything I've seen the developer could make great strides by investing in additional help. Because for now, one man functioning as a developer/community manager/marketeer just isn't working.

  Do you love asseted games? , Maybe ones with horrific animation and fluency?, A game created for you to create a game from trash? Well do we have a game for you! If you're a FiveM RP lover, but your parents wont let you buy GTA because its bad rep and mature content, this might get you in the door of rp... thats if you manage to find an english speaking server that's not dead. Honestly don't buy this game, they are expecting server developers to create the game for them while they create a blueprint base game on UnrealEngine4 while using your money, to pay for assets to "update" this trash. Hey Blue Mountain, I would love my money back! My full in game time was wasted afk scripting a server for a game with no english speaking servers/players.

  This game has really good potential, all we need is a good player base and English servers!

  - 0 populated English servers - 1 Populated french server - A general lack of anything to do The game has potential to become a replacement for Gmod rp servers but that is a long way from now. I will repurchase the game in a few months to see if there is populated servers ((Just check the steam charts for the game before purchasing)) [ Updated 2020 ] https://steamcharts.com/app/1105810 Month Avg.

  fairly interesting and has some potential but in its current state it would probably be easier to make a game from scratch than to base something off Onset. the vehicles and core mechanics have a very asset flippy feel to them and you have little control over the existing world. you could say it will be a much more polished game in a year but despite how much i'd like to see it happen, having roamed around i personally don't think the team has sufficient talent and resources to pull off what they're trying to achieve
