I genuinely love this game. Between the cute art style and fast action, plus VERY frequent updates and dev communication, it's just excellent. I've always loved Team Doubles in Halo and other 2v2 dueling gamemodes, and this polishes it to a sheen. Very excited to see what comes next.

When I opened the game for the first time, I said "Oh, the lighting looks a bit nicer but I don't see really anything new." Then I played for 4 more hours, about as long as I played the original game for, and was laughing my ass off the entire way. I had zero problems and loved it the whole way through.

Trans rights.

Dreadful. Bugs aside, it has bullet spongy and unsatisfying gunplay where there's only one build option (it's crit damage+chance), a world that loves telling you how dangerous it is than it actually being that unless you accidentally wonder into an area that is too high level while there's no way to tell an area is too high level until you get oneshot by a mook in it, a story that doesn't give you any options but literally lets you pick which ending you want at the end like they saw Mass Effect 3 and thought that the only thing worth incorporating from an actually good RPG shooter is the part that everyone hated as they sure didn't add the interesting and important dialogue options as there is next to none, especially in the first 20 hours, but in those first 20 hours they do love shoving random characters in your face that they don't explain every 5 minutes who just call you on the phone and expect you to do seemingly randomly generated dull missions for them, crammed in crafting that only exists to give the Technical Ability skill a use while the Technical Ability skill only exists because they felt like they have to, which also goes for the Cool stat. Pro tip, the maximum stat Cool has to be to pass EVERY SINGLE COOL STAT CHECK IN THE GAME is 8. Get to 8 and you get to see all 6 of the times that it comes in handy. For being an Role Playing Game, you don't really get to do a whole of Role Playing, as you play as V, a generic wannabe badass that "technically" has 3 different backgrounds that give you a different intro mission and then makes 0 difference past that point. The Corpo background is especially interesting in that it's the only one that they didn't bother writing an intro mission for and instead you talk to a guy, go to a place, talk to another guy and you get spit out in the same place the other 2 place you. If you decide to take a break from side quests for 3 seconds and do the main quest, you'll quickly run into the final mission where it tells you that if you keep playing, you won't be able to do anything else so you can spend another 20 hours doing side quests that lead into side quests that lead into side quests that lead into side quests. I have more problems, like the vehicle economy, cyberware trivializing stealth completely and crafting being useless when making weapons and armor and beyond busted when you find out you can just pump out armor mods for a handful of pocket lint and a paper clip that give more armor than your entire armor set put together. They designed a super pretty world and then just gave up on the rest of the game. Maybe turning into a hollow GTA Online clone would work for it, because then there'd be a reason to care about the world instead of running through it to get from one side mission to another. Maybe you could be bothered to use anything other than the best vehicle in the game that they hand you at the beginning of the game. But whatever, hype hype hype CD Projekt Red could set an orphanage on fire and they'd still be seen as the saviours of humanity and curers of cancer and solvers of world hunger.

I like the game. I think it's fun. Would I recommend anyone buy it? Absolutely not. It's a horrible janky broken mess with glitches galore, terrible enemy AI, unfair mechanics, and sometimes the game just doesn't work. Like, I have no idea why they thought that this game should be out of Early Access. It's dreadfully bad. But, it's fun.

Fun game I enjoyed, just wish there was more content. About half of my hours were from accidentally leaving the game on AFK.

Don't buy now. Community will be gone soon when the game gets taken off Steam. Get it on console. Any money you spend on this game will be erased in a few months.

I hope TinyBuild has a damn good reason to rush such a botch job of a game out the door so fast that they couldn't even get the ability to play with your friends into the game before slapping a "buy 1 get 1" on it. I feel bad for the poor developers.

After a hefty polishing of the UI/UX, the game is actually like, playable. Dear lord.

Incredible game. It takes a while to really grasp it, and sometimes you just don't have the best game, but when you get just the right teammates and everyone gets into it and communicates, it's a fantastic experience.
