Doesn't deliver on what was promised (i.e. "gender does not affect gameplay")

This is a borderline AAA game with an injection of modern day societal "issues" which really shouldn't be in an escapist fantasy story. RPG mechanics such as spell selection/progression and character attributes are lacking, and has gone more towards DA2/Diablo-styled mechanics. Gameplay is mildly engaging but nothing to shout about. Writing and dialogue is a borderline pass. Graphics is alright, not too terrible, not too good. I could get into this possibly, but unless there is a way to remove the modern-day ideologies, or allow us to make our own choices (as what the developers touted), there is no way I am changing this to a positive review.

Finally, as for the price tag, it's just not worth the money right now. Maybe get it on 50% off next year, but with such a huge catalog of games on Steam, it would be better to get this game at 80% off 2 to 3 years down the road.

Story: 5/10
Gameplay: 6/10
Graphics: 7/10

A wonderfully done satirical take on modern military/police operations where magic exists in the world.

Lore is okay-ish (could do better, but its acceptable), but we're here for the wizards armed with M4s and NVGs, and the first mission as the FNG on a ship. Peak COD vibes.

Requiring a PSN account to play this game 3 months after release is a no-go

The vibe is a little off for this, though the concept and execution is good. Difficulty scaling needs to be adjusted given the random/proc-gen nature of the locations, and it's not really a "driving" game, more like a game with decent plot/story plus side mechanics of extraction looters.

It's polished and all, but paywalling the story makes this no different from any other F2P team-based shooters.
Obvious cashgrab is obvious

Needs a little bit more polish on starter tutorials and item descriptions (e.g. waypoint range, etc.), other than that, it's mostly pretty engaging and fun

Not very well polished. I missed 5x shots in a row without any attack dice rolls on screen in the mini scenario. How the heck is that possible?!

He was a birb,

Can I make it any more obvious?

He was a sk8terbirb,
She said see ya later birb,
He didn't screm enough for her.

Seriously though, beware of motion sickness. I'd recommend this for kids, as there's little incentive for non-casual gamers to play this, other than for nostalgic reasons.

AI really needs work, but other than that, B-grade game overall.
