Fun smash-em-up driving game

Time for another revised review! The game has changed significantly since my last edit, and mostly for the better. Arch Nemesis is almost completely gone now, the revamped Atlas passive tree is awesome, and the current league mechanic is a ton of fun!

I'm happy to say PoE is back, for the most part, to being a truly great game!

Melee is still a dumpster fire.

It's a fun game, but it has a lot of shortcomings. I think my biggest gripe at the moment is that the AI may as well be driving tanks. They so much as gently brush up against you, and you go spinning. Meanwhile you can T-bone them at 180mph and they'll hold their line perfectly.

Wait for a discount.

EDIT: As of 6/17/2017 they've rendered the game nearly unplayable for me. They added mouse steering to the game, with no option that I can see to turn it off. If you're a normal PC player like I am, you probably wanted to steer with WASD and have your main fire ability bound to Mouse1. Welp, don't move your mouse an inch, because it will automatically swap to mouse steering.

I get having options, but WHY did they not add a way to disable this? I can no longer reccomend this game.


ORIGINAL REVIEW:
As of now I'm only about an hour into the game, but I'm blown away. This game takes me back to of plaing Gradius on the NES, but with added RPG upgrade elements and multiple ships! The art style, the flow of combat, the weapons, all of it is top notch. And the MUSIC! This may be the first game where I actually purchase the OST!

Obviously being so early in the game I can't speak to end game yet, but this isn't really the type of game where that matters.

My only real complaint is that the default controls for the KB+M were pretty poorly thought out, but that's changed easily through the options menu.

Now you'll have to excuse me while I go kill some more hours in this game!

Once I take off my rose tinted glasses, I can admit that this is the best entry in the Fallout series.
