Battle pass periods are long, challenges for unlocking steps are moderately to simple in terms of difficulty and they give you pretty generous amounts of progression.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
they have it all. amazing graphics, amazing atmosphere, amazing gunplay, but then they bring out 1896 and now you cant see or here ♥♥♥♥ anymore, they still dont reward players for playing active, going for objectives, pushing other players. rather then giving those players tools, they buff small shotguns, so now everybody always has one.

It's got great gunplay and a "steep learning curve" that isn't really that steep.

There are a multitude of ways that you can play this game, as a solo, duo or trio, with rifles, bows, pistols or your fists, with a heavy or naked load-out.

Great sound design and graphics(with very common lighting glitches), great atmosphere and gameplay but can't recommend starting now.
