Having played before when you had to pay for the game I didn't really stick around long as I only got into the free weekend, which at the time I didn't really feel it could be my new time consumer because of the few concerns I had.


I've put in some solid hours in the past couple days and I think I've pretty much come to a conclusion on what I like about it so far which I'll briefly go through below:


- Queue times - not an issue, probably one of if not the fastest I've experienced in online games, nor is latency as its turn based. Unless you're really dropping out so hard that you're unable to even take your turn.
- Game play feels rewarding - Plenty to unlock through game time alone, and the Freelancers if you haven't bought in full access to them, I find the amount of currency you get just playing is at a good rate, not bad at all.
- Balance - I feel is pretty solid, seen some good (insert Freelancer here), bad (insert Freelancer here), but I've yet to come out of a match where I feel it was pretty one sided because of any one factor.
- Community - A lot of shenanigans going on in general chat but I've yet to come across a salty individual(s) in my matches which I can really get on board with. Yeah, it's probably unavoidable that'll happen at some stage but not having one in the amount of matches I've had seems like pretty good odds.


Maps both look and feel nice, some characters have pretty cheesy one-liners but that's probably just a matter of opinion, but most importantly, to me - the game play feels satisfying, outwitting, thinking ahead, playing around your team/opponents, it feelsgoodman, even losing to an extent doesn't feel to gutting.


I definitely see myself sinking more time into this quite happily, keen to see what's to come in future updates, but I also feel like it's still a bit too early to tell if things won't turn south rather quickly.
