Arma Reforger review

Arma Reforger is the sandbox pick. Bohemia's Steam page describes a Cold War military sandbox with realistic weapons and ballistics, navigation by map and compass, and three large islands. Conflict matches can last from an hour to days, Game Master lets a player create and curate missions in real time, Combat Ops covers co-op special operations and Capture & Hold is the faster mode. Solo players get Operation Omega, a five-mission campaign, plus the Elimination and Air Support scenarios. A built-in Workshop handles community mods, and Steam lists cross-platform multiplayer and full controller support. English reviews are Mostly Positive at 79% of 32,767, with 84% positive in the last 30 days, and the game needs only 8 GB of RAM and 20 GB of storage. The tradeoffs: the realism is unforgiving, and everything is set in the Cold War.
