Early Access Review
People are trashing on this game like crazy and it's weird to see. This is a zombie game yes, but it's not the type where you're meant to kill everything you come across. You're supposed to kill them out of necessity, not out of greed. Yes the combat is a little janky but once you realize that you're better off disabling zombies instead of killing them, it starts to make a lot more sense.

Some of the zombies are silent and they will not make a sound until they are attacking or you spot them, which makes navigating in some tight spaces very stressful. It really makes you look over your shoulders constantly and this makes sense. I actually feel helpless when I get separated from the rest of the group and there is definitely some anxiety there.

Once you learn how to use your compass (C by default) and you realize that it literally shows where the nearby objective items are, it becomes way more easier, and the focus on survival begins to take precedence.

My CONs would be that inventory management is a little janky. I wish there was an indicator on how much ammo you had in your guns from the tab screen. Maybe it's done on purpose, but so far it looks like I have to mentally keep track of how much ammo I had in which gun.

Also, yes the spawns are not great. If you can clear an area, chance are a zombie is gonna be back in that area momentarily. I do wish the zombies could be given shorter "memories?" as of right now it feels like they follow you forever, even if you turn a corner and break line of sight, they may slow down but they still just continue to walk along the same path as you.

The game is beautiful and extremely polished. A wide array of playable characters and, even though the combat is fairly simple, each character is a different kind of joy to play. The voice acting is pretty good, story is decent (nothing groundbreaking), but seeing as I knew nothing about Granblue characters, and that this is the first breakout title away into this genre of games, I am definitely invested in future adventures.

In 69 hours, I have not crashed once. Only issue I have is sometimes the matchmaking gives me a "Network Error," but it immediately allows me to re-queue (most of the time) so it's no love lost.

This scratches the itch of an MMO that doesn't include microtransactions and has reasonable farming methods. Co-op is kind of tied to the story, so you will have to generally beat the game in order to fully unlock all of the co-op, but it opens up the other 80% of the game once you do beat it. But at each story-step of the game, it does provide you with some missions that are available to play in co-op.

Willl recommend this to anyone who is on the fence. I was waiting for this game for a long time and it didn't disappoint, I love it!

It's pretty scary and unsettling. It was a kinda rough to play in the beginning but there's been constant updates so far fixing a lot of the grievances. The dev is very communicative with the upcoming patches, has a lot of potential and looking forward to a lot of growth!

It's a battle royale, the game isn't free, it has a paid battle pass, it has premium currency, it has outfit skins, weapon skins, emotes, poses, etc. All the reviews criticizing the game simply for including all of the aforementioned features can literally be ignored. What game doesn't have these this day and age? I swear some people buy the game simply because it's on the front page and then complain when it's not what they were expecting. And whether or not it's chinese spyware, I guarantee there's also american spyware running when you simply boot up your computer.

The character creation is unheathily deep. I wouldn't have expected the game to even have this feature let alone as in-depth. The game is actually fun to play, because it's different. There's firearms in the game but they aren't something you can rely on to win a fight. You wouldn't bring a flintlock rifle to a greatsword fight, I can guarantee you. Once the fight gets personal, guns don't help, save for the shotgunny pistol.

It has a bit of a combo system, it's fairly simple but each weapon type has its own combos, so it takes a lot of getting used to especially when you're picking stuff up and trying them out. Each "Hero" has their own special abilities, and those abilities can also be altered to slightly change the behavior of the skills, which does actually change how you approach a fight. There also seems to be a "Glyph" system or a type of loadout that lets you equip different stat-bolstering passives. Each Hero has a set of challenges unique to themselves called "Cultivations" which require your to do certain challenges using said hero, and level their cultivation up, unlocking some unique items like skins and also loot crates.

It's a really fun game so far. I can tell immediately if a new game that I play is something that I'll want to play again the next day, and this definitely is one of them. It has deathmatch modes and solos, and the team mode is up to 3 players on a team (60 in a match, 20 squds total).

Very scary, thrilling and exciting. I see people who are Lv.1000+ and think, there's no way they're fun to play with; they've seen it all and done it all at that point. Well, I'm around Lv.500 myself and although I'm fairly good at the game, I get just as scared as ever when my light starts flickering!

It starts off incredibly slow and boring. You'll laugh, and probably slap a baby, at the fact that someone could possibly recommend this horrible, useless game. It's what happened to me (minus the baby part). It pains me to recommend this game to friends because I know the beginning sucks really bad. I'm not going to lie, you literally have to force yourself to get through the low levels. All I can say is that at some point while you're playing, something will just click, and you'll finally understand why people like this game. You just have to actually work your way to that point.

Tekken 7 is a pretty solid entry for the franchise. 6 was my favorite primarily because of how extensive the character customization was, but 7 still feels a lot more comfortable to fight on. I'm running on a 4-year old gaming laptop (mobile GPU) and I'm still able to hit 60fps on many stages with high/ultra settings, so I'm so glad for its optimization!

Single player is pretty much limited to Practice Mode, Treasure Battle (Endless matches that award customization items for winning), and Tekken Bowling if you've purchased that DLC. All of the characters are pretty balanced, of course there are "top tier" and "low tier" characters, but for the majority of the matches you'll play, your overall skill on said characters is what will win you the match, not who you selected. I do admit that some characters have hard counters, which is when that practice mode comes in handy.

Online is pretty stable, but the Tournament mode is a bit rough. If the host has poor internet, everyone (up to 8 players) in the lobby will lag unless they are close to the host. Only thing I don't really like about Tekken 7 is how much worse the customization is compared to Tekken 6. It's still usable and very possible to get some cool combinations going, but Tekken 6 was just remarkable in that aspect.

Will add that "DLC characters" are not OP in any way, shape, or form. At the moment, that is just Geese, Noctis and Eliza, but they all have their downfalls just like any other character and are actually a lot harder to use properly because of their unique fighting styles.

Bought this on PS4 before I received it on PC, and I would buy it again along with its season passes if I had to!
