I'd like to start off by saying that the game is actually very good gameplay and mechanics wise. So if you can get past the P2P networking, constant error messages and a very, VERY whiny community, buy it.

But unfortunately the matchmaking along with many other multiplayer related problems make it not worth it (as it stands) in my personal opinion. I seem to be in a very small minority of people who the game refused to even start for which lead to me refunding it promptly, but it's worth mentioning that there is a chance that this may happen. Apparent cause was that the game needs to be installed on my C: drive which, for me, is impossible because windows takes most of that space and I don't have 30 gigs to spare even if I wanted to, and I sure as hell am not going to buy a new SSD just for a game.

I may buy this in the future, because I REALLY enjoyed my time in both the betas when or if (big if) most of these problems get fixed, but until then, I'll hold off on it.

I also left many subjective things out of this review (microtransactions for example) because I personally don't care about them and don't see them as a problem. But as with all premium titles I understand if people dislike it when companies put microtransactions into a 60€ game as a quick moneygrab, I just don't mind it unless it hurts the game and gameplay. Microtransactions are always bad in a paid game but I can't be arsed to care if it doesn't affect me directly. I would never pay money to skip the grinding in any game though, which is exactly what microtransactions do in this game. It is NOT pay to win unlike many reviews seem to point out. That's not how gear works in this game. In addition to that, gear stats are turned off in 2v2s and 1v1s which is where the game shines the most, once again, in my opinion.
