Best lore I've read this year, sure hope the devs make more games set in this world.
The part of the main quest set in Ethernal Realm actually made me cry a little. That region also has the hardest moral dilemma type quest I've seen in any game so far.
Only problem - the combat is so easy, the game might as well be a walking sim.

Mostly positive? What the hell, people. This is pretty much mobile shovelware. There's no gameplay besides the "haha my floaty vehicle is sending those weightless piles of rubble flying!".
Also the controls are terrible, and the UI is so blurry, it looks like it's being upscaled from 720i xbox 360 output.

Are you for real?
What were you doing these seven years?
The Forest was pretty good. This is barely even a game.

Extremely easy, gameplay is clunky (especially crafting), and the performance is rather poor.

This might just be the greatest game to come out of early access craze of the 2010s.

Addictive like crack, extremely friendly to mods and constantly updated years into it's lifecycle.

The idea is interesting, but the execution is not even remotely fun.
Projectiles don't seem to do anything half the time. You can't throw them while walking backwards. Molotovs don't do any damage to vehicles which is weird, since they were invented to combat tanks. Mouse and keyboard controls are borderline unplayable.

Great level design, with exception for the final level, that is just tedious, the placement of enemies compensates for their simplistic AI for the most part.

7.643/10 wouldn't replay

Not funny, didn't laugh.

The first MLG_pro_xXx 1337 quickscoper simulator since COD4 Promod.

The gameplay is decently fun, performance is pretty much flawless and community so far seems wonderfully non-toxic.

The only gripes I have is that germans and americans have extremely similarly colored models which is somewhat confusing. At least those colors seem to pretty much always stand out from the map environment. Though I'd recommend jacking up digital vibrancy/saturation (depending on your GPU vendor) as it makes players stand out a little more, and also in general makes the game look somewhat more pleasant.

Compared to how awful it was in closed beta, it is surprisingly okay. I would even go as far as calling it enjoyable.
Pretty much two gripes I still have with the game are insanely long load times, and I ain't installing something I'll play once a month on an SSD, and lack of option to change screen refresh rate along with resolution.
