The gameplay and battle royale aspects are peak - the movement perfectly fluid, the gunplay just right, the balancing solid.

However the updates have slowed down with less content each time, and very player unfriendly changes to monetization. We have seen less LTMs, less legend releases, less maps/map updates - and very recently the removal of the ability to buy the battlepass with premium currency.

This new change has effectively made it so what used to be a normal battle pass where you bought one and earned the next - become exclusively $10 purchases. On top of this, you have to spend $10 twice per season! So while I love the gameplay and flow of the game, I cannot rightfully say you should play this game with it's obviously not player friendly changes.

As of 07/24/2024 (or 24/07/2024) the battlepass changes have been reverted - this was an expected but welcome walkback by EA/Respawn. Because of this I have changed my review to positive. I still believe the gameplay is unmatched, and honestly a slowdown in content production is expected for a game this old. As long as Respawn/EA aren't too stingy the game is great and should stay great for the next few years.
