Line of Sight

Line of Sight is a fast-paced, free-to-play first-person shooter reminiscent of classic titles like Combat Arms and MW2, featuring a variety of game modes, weapon and character customization, and unique psionic abilities. Players appreciate its smooth gameplay, decent graphics for an early access title, and the nostalgic feel it evokes. The game supports competitive play with ESL tournaments, and offers classic modes without psionics for purists.

However, the game is currently hampered by several issues. The in-game economy is criticized for being grind-heavy, with permanent weapons costing hundreds of thousands of in-game currency, pushing some players toward pay-to-win perceptions. Hit registration, hitboxes, and head glitching problems frustrate many users. Additionally, maps are often seen as unbalanced and sniper-friendly, and the UI is considered confusing. Server instability, low player population, and occasional bugs further hinder the experience. Despite these flaws, the community is generally friendly, and the developers actively engage with feedback, showing promise for future improvements.

Highlights

Players praise the weapon and character customization, highlighting the extensive mod and skin options. The gameplay is smooth and fluid, with a classic, nostalgic vibe reminiscent of early Call of Duty and Combat Arms.

Graphics are decent and optimized to run on low-end PCs, and the variety of game modes, including competitive ESL-supported play, adds depth. The inclusion of classic modes without superpowers appeals to traditional FPS fans. The game’s non-pay-to-win approach to weapon stats is also widely appreciated.

Criticisms

Common criticisms include poor hit registration and broken hitboxes, leading to frustrating deaths and unreliable combat. The economy and grind are major pain points, with high in-game currency costs for permanent weapons causing slow progression and pay-to-win concerns.

Maps are often described as unbalanced and overly sniper-friendly, contributing to spawn trapping and camp-heavy gameplay. The UI is confusing and cluttered, and server instability, low player counts, and matchmaking issues diminish the multiplayer experience. Additionally, some animations and sound effects feel low quality or out of place.
