I've already seen a playthrough of it. Although, it still was more interesting than I thought it'll be, to play by myself. I'll try other games later :)

This review is just my personal opinion.
I could point out some bad choices developers made in this game, but i want to write just one thing.

This matchmaking is balanced that way, to make you not win. Actually i think it wants to put you around 10-15th place in average (from 30). There are ranks representing your skill, each divided in 5 divisions. When you play well in the match (or you get lucky) you are put one whole division up. When you do badly, your rank is reduced by 1/4 (or 1/5) of division. That mean, your sweet spot in rank balance is when you get bad time in 4 matches and do well (not even win) in one. 80% bad time. 20% good time.

I'm not a good Battlerite player, neither I'm good at battle royales. I consider myself just decent. So I'm being put into match with people that can take me out any day, because for some reason I am in diamond rank and from what i see I'm stuck there. Every time I get to last 5 players the game makes it less possible for me to win in next game.

And because of whole randomness, unbalance, people hiding from each other in the end of match, this game feels constantly annoying. In Battlerite when i lost, it was because opponent played better. Here I often die because of numbers. Not skill. Numbers.

Get some dancing pads and workout with your friends!

This is a really nice and quite big expansion of OWH. If you like the original, just give yourself the pleasure of saving the world(s!) again. Or slaughtering innocent NPCs.

Or not so much pleasure by choosing turist class with nerfing perks.

Also cows. Get em!

I`m playing with standalone game (not via steam) since open beta.
Game is really fun, mechanics and lots of parts of the game are well-made.

It was fun to :
- make all of 9 characters
- farm with friends new content and became stronger with each update.
- to see, after so much time put into your character, how good you became.
- help less experienced players and keep your party together in challenges.
- etc.

And then fire nation attacked (with earth, water and air together). Module 6 (Ele)mental evil.

Changes:
- added lot of farming areas with no story. Just to justify levels 61-70.
- taken quests/maps/dungeons from level 60 to 70, making them unreasonably harder.
- with higher levels you gain LESS effect on the same stat value (example, 10% damage reduction on 60 will be 6% on 65). Because of that i was getting WEAKER wih every level up. (I didn`t want to level up, how ridiculus is that.)

- They set new line about "decent" and "good" gear. Now "awesome" gear you farmed hours, days, weeks for are "meh" or "bad" now. However good you were, you are weak now.
- New skills? Too bad most of ALL skills are broken now. Wait a month or 2 and maybe they will fix half of them.
- PvP became ridiculus. Some healers can fight 4-8 other players in the same time.
- As unfriendly as it can get for new players. Even old players are unfriendly to new players. Everyone hate new players until you`ll throw 10x AAA game price into game, and you will get kicked / killed / trashed / massacred / laughed at / danced on.

And this are changes only in this module.

So, when other games add new content where you can get even stronger than before, this module made you
WEAKER and force you to FARM or PAY to be at least as good as before and play OLD content.
Why the hell do i have to struggle, or farm, to be able to win in dungeon that i played already over 100 times?
Why the check most of my almost best equipment i could get became WEAK in a week?

Why would you want to start playing this game if you`ll know that you can become weak with every update?
Why would you want to pay for something that will become insignificant? Some of players lost a lot of money because of this module.

Just stay away from this game, until you don`t have anything to do with big amounts of money, or hear about some big changes.
