ARMA has been the king of absurdly deep milsims for about as long as I can remember, and it is very secure in its reign. Try as I might, I can't recall many games that ever really tried to challenge ARMA's dominance of the hardcore simulation realm, but now someone else has decided to give it a try. Gray Zone Warfare is the just-announced first foray into PC gaming from Madfinger Games—the mobile dev behind iOS and Android series like Shadowgun Legends and Dead Trigger—and bills itself as "an immersive tactical first-person shooter with a maximum focus on realism."
"Become a part of a Private Military Company," reads the announcement, questionably, "and navigate an expansive open-world setting alone or in a squad." To be fair, that expansive open-world setting does look very pretty indeed as our protagonist roams around with an assault rifle, popping pills, chomping down MREs and killing just, like, everyone. It reminds me a bit—in a good way—of Far Cry 4's Kyrat, albeit without the snow-capped peaks.
