EDF 5 is a game for mindless fun, best enjoyed with friends. This game features several quality of life improvements over EDF 4.1, from simple things like picking up equipment will sometimes get equipment for other classes as well as the one you are playing, equipment can level up, prolonging their potential life cycle, to optimizations for the PC version.

Many of the classes have major quality of life improvements, improving overall mobility or survivability. In the case of the Wing Diver, the Wing Diver now has a mid-air dash that can be performed, improving mobility substantially. Every class has an equipment slot now that will provide generic improvements for the gameplay of the class.

A few notes about this pc port:
- The game lacks any in depth graphics settings. Beyond just a few options, the user has little to change to improve their performance.
- The game is locked to 60 FPS both in menus and in game. Framerate unlockers would likely affect the core gameplay
- There is no FOV slider
- From EDF 4.1, there is now an actual mouse cursor in the menus.

In my opinion, the price tag is a tiny bit steep (at 60 USD), but if you have friends who can play with you, you easily have many hours of fun ahead. The game can be played alone, but it can be quite boring at times.

Due to the nature of PC gaming, I would recommend against using the online matchmaking and instead find a group of players to play with. In 4.1 there were hackers who could ruin your save file permanently, the same people will likely be in this game as well.
