PEAK. ITS PEAK

I AM THE LEX
FOR THE LEX

Hey so, this is good. Really good. Yes It's a gacha or whatever and yes there's gambling (i both condone and love gambling it's objectively good for you) but this is some genuinely wonderful open world exploration - and the storytelling is actually fun & interesting.

The combat system's really fun as well, there's a lot to mix & match here; not just characters and the weapons you put on them, but intro & outro skills, passives, and the little pokemon guys (don't sue me nintendo thanks) you get to collect around the world and use as summons & item sets.

It's a solid title, the gacha's fairly forgiving & easy to participate in as well. Very free to play friendly.

7-8 hour runtime in early access, I got through in about 6 and a half on my first playthrough & around 3 and a half on my second. Multiple available challenge modes (with more on the way!) provide a pretty satisfying side table of content to go through.

It's definitely a resident evil-like, littered with fun puzzles & collectibles all over the place. It does throw a couple of surprises in the middle as well, certainly a couple of places where It surprised me.

To any friends reading this, look dude, hear me out LOL. This game is actually a blast with really good shooting mechanics and fun character customization. I didn't particularly pay attention to the story however the reviews here & some youtubers I've seen do allege that It's decent.

Out of whatever my currently played hour count is, I have not experienced any bugs, crashes to desktop, or frame issues. This thing did in fact run at and above 165 frames consistently with very little droppage, if any. If this changes, I will update this review. Probably. lol.

It tries to shoot well above Its paygrade and it hits the spot. Very pleasant surprise to go through, I didn't think I'd like it initially.

Will be following this through early access.

the real final shape was the friends we made along the way

they did cutie dirty she didn't deserve that ♥♥♥♥ bro

Actually in love with it, some of the best coop gameplay since L4D2. It's everything I wanted from Deep Rock Galactic with an extra coat of liberty. Very affordable live service model & highly attentive development team. Highly recommend.

Alright hear me out right, It's not as ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as it used to be. It's actually pretty decent now - definitely not the best fallout game, probably not the worst. The core gameplay loop resembles the exploration loop from Fallout 4. If you enjoyed exploring, looting & shooting in 4, you'll like 76's lategame. It's a solid game, though it does get buggy.

"also, review bombing will not cause modiying or nullifying in-game prices - if the game is shut down, no one wins"

Adding my review to the long list of positive reviews.

Doesn't get much better than this. I'm a kid again.
