Okay, bought this one to play with friends and I dont have a ton of time in but enough to leave a relevant review. Playing with friends is a good idea apparently, because this seems to be a near dead game. Pros: Interesting characters/abilities, and in-match ability development system. Very reminicent of Unreal Tournament games Assault mode missions. The game mechanics, missions, story arc, almost all of it is very good, excellent even maybe by todays standards, which is good right? Not so fast. Cons: The game is boring. The size of maps combines with the stunning and utter lack of varierty in weapons or attacks for 40 minutes of snooze every mission. I believe the concept of this game is not to be an FPS, but a FPMOBA, and I guess it succeeds on that. The problem is with no weapons to switch you are essentially relegated to 1 primary attack, 1 melee bash ala Borderlands, and generally 3 powers on cooldown timers to use, and level during gameplay. For 40 minutes. Mouse 1, 3 powers and movement keys. Throw in 200-300 people playing actively in March 2017 and yeah, good luck having the atrocious matchmaking get you into a game. Price: Remember rule #1 folks, never pay full price for a game unless youre REALLY indulging yourself; there are deals to be had everywhere. This game is still listing at $30 on Steam and honestly, if they wanted to save it at this point it should be free2play for what you get.

Thought it would be good with friends. Boy was I wrong. Good concept, exceptionally poorly executed. Exceptionally poor graphics. Plays and feels like a game from the 90s.

Interesting game mechanics; short overall as far as content. Worth buying on sale, dont pay more than $10.

Really over the top misanthropic violence. "Murder the world" gameplay. It probably belongs in any collectors library just for what it is; like Postal. Definitely not for the squeamish or for those that are repulsed by cold blooded murder. Isometric view doesnt seem to lend itself to accurate shooting in this title, unlike others, but no one is really buying this for the awesome gameplay.

Easy to play, hard to master. Great game; includes soccar, hockey, and basketball gameplay as well as as crazy "kart" type mode with powerups. Well worth buying, even at full price.

Ive been exploring some of the 3rd person, console to PC ports lately. This is an ok/fun game. Interesting mechanics with the finishes and tools, a bit light on story. Villians shoehorned in for the sake of having them in the game. Fun enough, NEVER pay full price for a game.

Quite a fun competitive platformer. Race and screw your friends! Swing from your grapple, shoot a rocket up your friends ass, or freeze them into a block of ice. Voice chat required for maximum enjoyment! As with almost every review I post - dont pay full price! I rarely buy any game at full price and I dont recommend that you do either. I beleive I got this in a Humble Bundle, or it was just super cheap during a steam sale and it has been worth every penny of the 3 bucks or less i paid for it.

If youre looking for a fun group game, then you will probably all get $10 worth of fun out of it if you buy the 4 pack at full price, but you can still find it way cheaper.

A different take on TD, where you starship is moving and that is where you build your weapons. Guns must be turned and managed to keep them aiming at enemies and repaired. Grab it in a sale or bundle and its well worth the cost. Dont pay more than 7.50 US unless youre really into TD.

Sudoku, in a videogame. Varied skill levels depending on how much you can or like to think. Worth a few bucks if youre into this kind of thing. I use it to clear my head, math meditation.

EDIT: Original, negative review below.

Followed this game for a long time. Ive come back to it several times over the years, but never felt a need to update my review, or any review for that matter.

I am updating this one to RECOMMEND. Apparently at some point the game development went forward, and it is, generally speaking, what it was supposed to be.

Spiritual successor to Flat Out. Good demolition physics, A great variety of cars and tracks and race types.

The game really shines in online play. Grab a school bus and ruin someone's day...

Another Early Access game I very much regret buying. Bought it because I loved the FO games. Abondonwared after the scumbags got their early access cash. As someone closing in on 1,100 games, I highly recommend avoiding early access titles at least until they are near their go live dates. Too many end up just like this.
