cons: still never paying more than 60$ for a game ever. idc who what when where why.

but i got it on sale so..

pros: ok.. so already at my point of playing, im in love, time skip creates intrigue of whats gone on between. they didnt fall into the "new game same skill progression amnesia" pit that ive seen alot of games fall into where you lose all the skills you had before. you have access to most everything you had previously AND SO MUCH MORE THAT I WANTED AT THE START. so im beyond happy with that. performance updates have been solid, dont have any issue so far. and looks like a hell of a lotta content to come. great story just as the first.

15 hours of playtime and i finally am done downloading it :)

Honestly, despite my relatively low hours, this is a puzzle game that is always challenging, always fun, has WAY MORE CONTENT HOURS THAN I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINED.. and each time i come back to it after a non play spree i find myself saying "whyd i stop playing this again" overall.. amazing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game 12/10

Honestly have waited too long to post this.. but this game keeps on giving. so TLDR: i absolutely reccommend this game.

Long story long, ive played it since its release, and has always been able to keep my incredibly short attention in ways that only rocket league, and league of legends has achieved. its quick to just hop in a game and play it even with friends, its a fun quick gab, the extra challenges to improve further on difficulty def help the skill ceiling feel higher, and unlike RoR2 i always feel in danger even after a loop or two and never feel like im in a spot where i can loop infinitely and dont need any more perks. overall especially for a one man show from a music artist, this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fantastic. art style and everything are just superb. I love you noisestorm, keep up the great work <3

Pros:
+ obviously fantastic soundtrack being from a solo music maker that ive enjoyed for a long time
+ scaling is honestly one of the better imo of the genre, i always feel in danger even late in the game
+ lots of fantastic updates
+ listens and pays attention to his community
+ 69 achievements (for now, but still funny number)
+ Challenging challenges
+ quick to pick up and hop in a game even with friends
+brand new amazing variety with abilities/melee weapons

Cons:
- Prob my least favorite part is the lack of expressively tiered enemies
(I.E. ultimately a chaotic grub can still spawn and ♥♥♥♥ you in the first level/loop its just kinda up to RNG but its not a guarenteed loss still so its managable if you can kite well)
- would say lack of variety but honestly this has been taken care of for the most part with the most recent update
- Lack of choice in perk direction especially with new ability/melee options (which tbf, is one thing on the todo list in the menu)
- no crab rave song (which is because of copyright so i get it but still sad lmfao)
- No ratings on melee/abilities like on weapons
- Honestly most my other cons were removed in the latest update so.. especially for the price, more than worth its weight.

TLDR: If you're thinking about buying it, do it.

Pros:
* #1 BEST: VERY wide wange of graphical options ranging from low end/old pc all the way to high end/modern pcs with (MAY I ADD ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GORGEOUS) RTX capability.
* LGBT+ REP WITH SIRONA LETS GO!!!
* TOGGLEABLE HOODS?!?
* Lots of gameplay/story and plenty of side missions to distract yourself with.
* Beautiful graphics
* Lots of secrets to be found
* PARSEL TONGUE?? (found in settings i have no idea what it is about)
* Many challenges that increase how much you look around the world indoors and out (like with flying pages to catch)
* As far as I've seen very lore-accurate as well as some VERY BEAUTIFULLY animated scenes that just ♥♥♥♥♥ SLAP you with nastalgia and immersion
* WONDERFUL MUSIC (hogsmead music sent me back to the universal harry potter world as a kid :')! )
Cons:
* Feels like there seems to be some occasional lag spikes even on higher end pcs, presumably due to scene or world loading? Usually fixed by just opening the menu for a moment
* A few VERY MINOR bugs like a specific character T-Posing (Multiple confirmations)
* A sad but understandable lack of things i can really use 'Reparo' on for how much emphasis is put on it at the start, also tends to apply to 'Wingardum-Leviosa' later on
* personal pet-'Peeves' of not being able to kill passive animals lol

(im high af so imma rant) As an early review for people who are thinking about buying it but dont want spoilers, im 30% through the game at 22 hours, havent even done all that much time just exploring and enjoying it yet (because i wanted the spells to not be blocked by some locks lol). but yet its SO gorgeous and i wanna spend hours just living watching the sun rise and set, but also the game provides a large variation in settings to be able to enjoy the story and immerse in the world just as much even on a lower end/older pc. So much nastalgia and lore accurate nastalgia slapping instances like the music throwing me back to hogsmeade at universal studios or the animation of the door to the room of requirement . Theres just so much good and nothing huge game or immersion breaking wise that its easy to overlook or even just enjoy and laugh at like a T-posing villager of a small hamlet. Other quirks are things like low visibility on the fact you can actually toggle a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hood on/or (HUGE PLUS FROM ME because no one does this like EVER) like im just very overall happy and satisfied that someone finally EARNED a 70$ from me and even with the balls to make it purely singleplayer (though i wish there were some MMORPG aspects like just seeing players while in the castle or even co op aspects like elden ring style maybe to hook up with friends to do certain fights or something, but still the fact the game is so good it doesnt matter they did it very ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ well.

♥♥♥♥ THAT ENDING MAN CMON!!

but fr 10/10 gg will play again.. but ♥♥♥♥ guys cmon man.. cant do me like that. ugh

Literally everyones negatives are solved with mods.

thunderstore mod manager, get rounds with friends performance enhancements and whatever the ♥♥♥♥ else you want and this game is everything you could ever dream. worth every penny

Been playing since day 1 of CA, well over 100 hours, not as much as some with that year but still had a hell of a time helping out where i could. ill put this clear and simply.

THIS GAME IS AMAZING.

despite the amount of negative comments you might find around the amount of bugs and stuff around the release, this team continues to display a full dedication to quick solving and supporting the playerbase as best they can through the process. there are very few teams who can match the amount of passion and dedication to not just their work but their comunity as frozenbyte does. its truly worth the wait for them to iron it out and get it 10% off with the launch sale. that being said its not currently in a great state so those who get pissed off at games not being 100% playable from day 1.. not naming any names.. i dont recommend it for, otherwise its game changing in the way of MMOs and space sims alike

for anyone who has wallpaper engine, and wishes to use this to always remember. added a good song to it for nastalgia (can be muted) enjoy. love this game always and forever and will miss it till the end of my days :'c

Update:
review: No (thumbs down). as you can see below if you take the time to read it, in 2014 this was an amazing game that still had some progress to be made. now i can officially say some of that progress was made, but at what cost? after the general success of people playing this game, the devs have made many wrong turns in the development of this game. the biggest downhill turn being making it pay to win. originally you could gain RP to buy new stuff and buy GC for quicker access to that stuff if it was unlocked. and could sell what youd bought for 50% of the orig. cost. now you have to subscribe, or pay 50$ in order to sell tuff for 50% rather than like, 15% of the cost. the crate idea wasnt a bad one necessarily, however i wish theyd kept the gaining of RP and used the bonus crates as just an extra thing you got occasionally. or at least like i said, just have the crates but still allow free to play players (everyone that doesnt fall into this pure money grab trap) to actually advance and progress in the game and actually obtain the better items like legendary items, etc. plus the removal of tier stars with 'researching' for the higher items in my opinion was also a downhill turn, bc now its only about leveling up to gain the new items (unless you just have everything now which it might be.) and paying to be able to actually get good stuff. overall, its just turned into a horifically pay to win money grab that used to actually be a great idea in a pretty good game. Also after looking through review, it appears most veteran players with more tthan 50 hours that had it when it was good, agree

2014 REVIEW:
review: Yes (thumbs up) The game that revolutionized vehicle war gaming for me. I was scepticle at first, but when I tried it, it was pretty good. If you mash roblox (If you dont know what that is, then think minecraft but with slopes, corners, etc.) and twisted metal (or World Of Tanks, but I've never played WoT so i cant use it as an example.) then you get robocraft. If I had to rate this on a scale of 1-10 I would say it's an 8, because as there are some glitches that are hard for the devs themselves to find that the players do, when they do hear or figure it out its fixed as fast as possible. When updates come and there are bugs, they do their best to fix it as fast as possible, like recently servers had been having major issues, and they gave everyone free premium for a limited time. So if you are crazy enough to still be reading this, i definitely think you should get this game if you like the example games, or at least have heard of them. If you havn't heard of them, still get the game.
