My entire playtime (4.5h) isn't actual playtime. It's troubleshooting playtime.
Don't get me wrong, I love finding problems and solving them.
This is one game I cannot solve the failure to launch problem, much like my love life.
Yes, that is 4.5h of waiting to see if it launches, closing, trying another method, repeat. That is not including the time the game was closed to fiddle around with files / workarounds / methods that have been posted by admins.
With how many people are having this problem... No. I will not contact support. I refused to get a refund in hopes I could make it work / devs fixing this issue. Much like the Covid vaccine, if you truly want it to be used, bring it to the people. Bring the support staff to the people, not the people to the support staff.

Let me backtrack for a second here.
I bought this game either on day one or near then, I cannot remember, nor can be bothered to check.
I managed to get it to launch 2-5 times one day, only to have it crash/freeze moments later while trying to start a mission.
I gave up and decided it would be best for my sanity to move on and wait. (3.9h-4.1h total playtime)
I decided to reinstall to see if the miracle happened. (September 15, 2021)
It unfortunately did not, and am now in the process of repeating what I did in the beginning.

Let us remember the definition of insanity for a moment.

EDITS!
September 16-17, 2021: I left the game running for 20 hours, still did not launch.

September 30, 2021, 9:30am (09/30 0930): Launched after major update finished patching, still nothing. Did all proposed fixes that are public (with exception to uninstall/reinstall, I have a data limit), and still would not launch.

March 10, 2022
Still won't launch, Steam refuses refund.

Definitely deserves more players
EDIT Oct 21, 2021 - Definitely deserves more players
EDIT Apr 28, 2024 - Still deserves more players (You can turn off Motion Blur)

Most fav battle royale game, works alright with satellite internet and progression isn't horrible. Bought all dlc. Pretty much a simp for this.

movement control keeps me coming back

A lot more strategy than you think. Can be convoluted at the start if you don't pay attention to the tutorial.
10/10 would bird up again.

Yes I know my hours are not worthy of a review but this needs to be said:
I have satellite internet, which means constant 600+ ping.
This game handles high latency better than any MOBA on the market than I've experienced, just like Paragon did.
So if you're someone who has boonie net like me and itching for PvP, this here is your gem.

Can play perfectly with 600+ latency

I normally leave a review after 20hrs of gameplay (as per gaming etiquette)

But after completing the story, I will not exaggerate anything.

If you like amazing scenery: This game is for you.
If you like hunting for hidden collectibles: This game is for you.
If you like a soundtrack that fits the entirety of a game: This game is for you.
If you like playing as a plethora of animals: This game is for you.
If you like learning about traditions that aren't your own: This game is for you.
If you like YOUR FEELS BEING THROWN ONTO THE GROUND AND REPEATEDLY CURB-STOMPED INTO DUST, THEN MASONED INTO A BRICK AND HAVE THAT GROUND TO DUST: You should buy this game for everyone you know and other people you have yet to meet.

Honestly, if it wasn't 1 dev and 1 admin i'd say stay away but
Oh dear it's good for what it is
Constant community engagement in discord, bug fix prioritizing...
You actually get a sense of involvement both ingame and out of game.
I run satellite internet (600+ping, 10mb down 2mb up) and can play near flawlessly

|||||ACTUALLY WE RUN INTO THE FIRST EDIT OF THIS REVIEW
THIS IS NO LONGER A PROBLEM FOR ME. TAI HAS DONE EXTENSIVE WORK AND CONNECTING IS NEAR FLAWLESS.
Which runs into one of the first cons: Connecting.
At the time of writing this review, connecting can be extremely spotty and may require numerous restarts|||||

But it's worth it when you get in.
No forced story
Crafting is new and fresh (albeit tedious to understand at first imo)
100 level cap
Can use 3/8 skill trees (more are coming), respeccing is a breeze and can be done whenever.
Level syncing dungeons
2 factions (chaotic good, chaotic evil), playerbase (at time of writing) is heavily leaning towards chaotic good

|||||EDIT: FACTION SWITCH CONSUMABLES ARE A THING, JUST GOTTA FARM THOSE 3 HECKING ITEMS TO CRAFT THE CONSUMABLE
^Con: Party system only allows teaming up with same faction members, us evil players are suffering.|||||

^Pro: Dev will be temporarily switching all accounts to chaotic good to combat the low playerbase bias
PvP toggle
You can get everything in pay shop by doing dungeons (Yes, those tokens you see on the shop are dropped in dungeons)
It is made in Unity (this might scare off people, but I enjoy the aesthetic of Unity)

All in all, if you're a fan of any Lord British game (like ultima or the now owned by Catnip Games, Shroud of the Avatar), then you might just get sucked in.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go back to |||||FARMING THOSE FLAGGED CHAOTIC GOOD PLAYERS|||||

Basically Asteroids meets BeatHazard1 with an additional shipment of epilepsy in a can + randomly generated bosses.
