The game definitely has issues that other detailed reviews have gone into such as the predatory microtransaction model (not a lot of ways to earn a new unit without shelling out), the game disconnection penalties (though I think this will get fixed in the future), the fact that a leaver in Casual matches does not seem to trigger matchmaking to get a replacement team member and either shuts down the match if it's early or let you go 5v6 if it's partway through the game... in CASUAL MATCH.

They clearly inspired their model on OW, but there's some weird user experience decisions basically.

What works though IMO is the gameplay / shooting mechanics and the style of it all (the mechs look and feel great to pilot). It's undeniably fun to play in a group too so definitely a fun romp. Not sure how much staying power it will have but if you need a break from OW and the like, it's a nice change of pace.
