Does what Starship Troopers does but turns it up to 11.

Wonderful

Early in mission: Haha! You want some? Heres some!
Later in mission: ITS AN UGLY PLANET A BUG PLANET!!!! AARGRGHRHRHRGGRGAG

Seriously the balance is perfect! You understand why everyone had to get back to the drop ships in the movie.

This game WILL be legendary when finished.

Its been a long time since I had to wipe the sweat off my forehead during stealthing, shooting, hacking and well, just about anything.

It was a bit iffy and the gunplay was VERY unsatisfying to begin with but its grown into an awesome experience. Its more forgiving now but thats a good thing as its still hard as nails and rewarding. Roll on MORE updates :D

The most addictive harvesting game I have played in a long time. Its a beautiful single large forest that runs brilliantly and yet its simply a boring uninspiring slog. People are already saying "You need to hit XX level, then it gets good" but that's not a good selling point. It should grab you from the start with well thought out quests, wonder and adventure but sadly this does not have that.

The combat is okay, its serviceable for the most part but pretty underwhelming. Going for the action orientated approach could of led to some great soul like combat but it does devolve into a left click until enemy is dead with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 different types of enemy. Those looking for a more layered rotation strategy will not find this here.

It is strange that Amazon decided to take a stab at the MMO cake and ONLY explore the surface of anything thats in an MMO. With such an abundance of MMO titles to ape or expand on its puzzling that they decided to actually make things worse. Currently its bottom of barrel stuff. It doesn't have WoW's whimsical fun, The Old Republics character driven drama quests etc. Hell, the zones dont even have that wonder of "OMG im going from Tatooine to Endor to Hoth to Nar Shaddar" visuals treat. This one is simply im going from one green forest to a slightly browner forest. Yes there are some quarry's or caves but thats NOT a zone change to bring in the wonder.

I keep logging in, running miles to do the same 3 quests such as search 5 chests, kill 10 enemies, skin 5 rats (With the occasional talk to someone at this location quest thrown in to keep things, uh, fresh?) and harvesting as many boulders, trees, herbs, pigs as I can manage. Yes, that harvesting is one of the most incredibly addictive things in the game. The quest for more Iron Ore! MUST REFINE! but sadly I now think "Why am i doing thi...OH MORE IRON ORE! MUST GET!!!!"

This is NOT a good game but it is an addictive one. Maybe its because I keep feeling that its about to get good?

Hopefully they'll pull out all the stops on future gameplay expansions and this can become one of the MMO greats/

Time will tell. 5/10

Hilarious multiplayer fun. Do it now!

Loved the game but gave up when attempting my 300th attempt at the sand worm. Sadly Ill never know the ending but I enjoyed it so much up to that point that ill still give it a thumbs up :)

I had to sit in the game for 15 minutes just to leave this review! After countless hours on the Origin version I still felt it is my duty to buy the game again on Steam. In fact, i think i've bought the game at least 6 times for friends of mine because thats how good this game is!

Simply put this game is one of the greatest FPS Multiplayer games ever created. Its crafted beautifully and with a passion you rarely see these days. Its fine tuning is one that should be held up as an example in game design.

Loot boxes? No. If you see something you want you buy it and all DLC was free for this game. So why did it fail? Because of the WORST release date decision ever. It was released between BF1 & COD:Game That Year and as a result it was discarded by the gaming population which is criminal because it was so much fun.

What does TF2 do right? Well, story is fantastic, action is incredible and unlike COD where whoever shoots first wins this game puts movement above that so even if you're being shot at first if you're skilled enough you can escape which makes for such an enjoyable game. When you die you genuinely know its because you did something wrong not oh i was shot first.

Apex Legends is simply NO match for this games fun per second. You get in, you fight, you die, you come back in 3 seconds and you keep fighting until you win or lose.

Or you know....you could play Apex Legends and join a game, take 3 minutes to land on the ground, Die and then either choose to quit THE ENTIRE match or watch your friends play a game but then again you could just watch Twitch....or play Titanfall 2!

Argrhagahgg!!! THIS GAME DESERVED SO MUCH MORE LOVE!

Incredibly macabre platform adventure. I would love to see a continuation of the the world created here. difficult, classic adventuring.

A frighteningly addictive game and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a tower defense game. BTW incredibly atmospheric music too.

Dreadful game.

Should of given it to the FatShark crew as they know how to make a fun coop game. Currently this is still utter trash.

1. B-Movie voice work
2. Weak weapons apart from the plasma gun
3. Hitting something with a powerfist feels comically weak unlike the glorious cracks from vermintide
4. Extremely BORING campaign and multiplayer content.
5. Unlocks are....well...only for usage to help play on a harder difficulty but serve zero purpose.
6. Respawning is still uninspired. Die, get yourself a cup of tea or hope a tactical marine has a boring respawn timer off.

***breath***

7. New class? Boring. Oh he has a special move which consists of buffs that are graphically zero apart from some words appear on your screen. Plus nitpicking he covers up some of the screen with his gash armour.
8. New Enemies!....Again...pointless as the screen is still a mash of enemies who apart from the exploding ones do nothing. I faced a new ugly designed enemy with some laser gun who took 10 shotgun rounds to the face to kill, oh and I had help from someone else shooting their weak storm bolter. POPGUNS FTW!

Basically we waited 18 months for them to simply rehash the same game with SLIGHTLY better optimization. I got the update for free because I wasted my money on the previous incarnation. Its astonishing the amount of bugs still in the game.

Missing mission points, graphical errors etc

If you try and make another one you could unashamedly just copy vermintide or left 4 dead and your fans would appreciate it. This game is almost as if you ignored everything that made those games fun.

Wait for a sale and make sure you have 3 other mates.
