Took a while to get the client running at an acceptable framerate (but this is Ark so settings tweaking is expected). Playing on a private server run out of my friends basement.

The game looks epic - massive improvement over the original. Environments are lush and detailed, smaller additions like interaction animations really help bring it to life. Water animations are gorgeous.

Dino animations however are a bit lacking, although this is Early Access and I'd imagine this will be remedied over time alongside inclusions of the other maps.

Building options have improved, changing structure appearances and orientations is easier than ever.

TL;DR, if you like ARK and want to see it revitalised, jump in.

Definitely had my frustrations with this game. That said, they were mostly self-inflicted from not taking the time to learn the combat system properly. This isn't a game where you can sit still, shoot at the enemy and expect to win.

Winning requires you to invest attention to detail. How can I build a 'Mech that works well with a certain set of Mechwarrior skills? How can I position my units on the field to take advantage of the terrain? Where is my opponent going to be in X-many turns and how can I turn that to my advantage? When should I reserve pilots for the next action phase?

Throughout playtime I've not experienced any bugs or performance issues. The game plays smoothly and looks great. Story mode is pretty solid, there's a decent amount of voice-acted cutscenes which help although I'd like to see more!

Gameplay is great. Most missions require you to adapt your tactics to changing circumstances, whether that is enemy reinforcements dropping in to flank you, or pushing into an capture-objective and finding yourself surrounded. Frustrating in the short term if you're taking fire from all sides - but extremely rewarding when you manage to outmaneuver your enemies and dakka them into tiny pieces. That said, don't expect to come out of levels unscathed. You're going to lose body parts, entire mechs and pilots. There is rarely a level where you are not outnumbered, so tactics are key. Random events in transit between systems keep you invested in your crew and results in rarely a dull moment - even outside of combat, you're faced with no shortage of difficult decisions.

I've soaked 53 hours into this and expect to soak plenty more. Highly recommend if you're either a fan of the Battletech universe or a complete newcomer. Next step is to grab the DLC!

Looks great and runs beautifully. Gameplay is Halo at its absolute peak - combat flow is just seamless, and Ultra settings it is absolutely gorgeous.

Campaign - a bit lacking in atmosphere and story. All the characters bar Master Chief and a few short cameos are brand new. Where are Blue Team? Where's Lasky? What happened to...everyone else? It just feels empty and lifeless. Even rescuing marines on Zeta Halo - there's no interaction other than "Thanks for the rescue Chief". 343 were always going to struggle to tie up all the loose ends from Halo 5 but this story moves significantly into the future from that game, and gives very little background as to what happened in the interim. The expanded universe (comics/novels) helps a bit, but you can't quite shake the confusion as to how and why we are where we are. On the flip side, there are a ton of opportunities to fill the story holes with Campaign DLC, which I'm going to stay cautiously optimistic about at this stage.

Multiplayer should have been a real saving grace here with the aforementioned improvements to the combat system. 6-month-long seasons has resulted in a big die-off of the multiplayer population, many (me included) quit after completing the S1 Battle Pass in the first 2-3 months and then many (unlike me) didn't bother to come back for S2, which is also 6 months long with somewhat less-desirable unlockables. Popular modes such as Firefight and Forge aren't present, and at time of writing I believe we won't see at least one of those till S3. Big Team Battle got a new map in S2 which is a welcome addition to the other 2.

My main gripe with Multiplayer is the lack of inclusion of a region selector - this results in the game director dropping you in whatever region has some players regardless of the state of the network - I'm in New Zealand and spend more time on Central US/Texas servers than anywhere else despite having a healthy community in Asia/Pacific. I suspect the reason for its continued lack of presence is now that the playerbase has dropped so significantly, it would show some seriously long wait times for games in some areas. Here's hoping that with a gradual increase in content we see the population increase.

Just...Awesome.

Absolutely appalling. Bought this today and spent over 3 hours trying to get it working without success. Haven't been able to play a single match. Wouldn't recommend this if you threatened to kill me.
