Well over half the missions so far are taken from EDF5, like actual copy pasted missions, the same objectives, the same environments, the same voice lines, the same enemies, the same weapons and classes (with nerfs to the air raider), and worse yet, barely any improvements over EDF5 in any way shape or form, no QOL changes, no extra goodies, nothing, nada
Running around is still clunky (hey there's vaulting now! which you rarely ever need to use and thankfully it could be worse and be slow while locking you into an animation)
Vehicles are still just as clunky to drive
Still no aiming mode/first person/sniper view/zoom of any sort for tanks or other vehicles
Fencer is still reliant on dash cancelling and thus still forces you to pick specific weapon combos
The ranger dash still feels like it's straight off of a student's game project

Now, if you love EDF, you'll like this game, but I fail to see how I could recommend this ♥♥♥♥ to anyone new to the series when 5 does everything the same but at half the price
It could've been so much more, and it should've been so much more at such a price point, and this is ignoring the epic games account mess, this game is a clownfiesta and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cash grab

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ optimisation I've seen since... A long while.
Can't even run it at a stable 40fps with a 770 and an i7 at 1080p.
Game seems fun, really, I'm a huge fan of EU and EW, but this is just sad.
Other than that, the game seems stuck in a beta state. There are numerous bugs with a negative impact on the gameplay (Like how swords are handled, the whole 'let's slash this guy' and it ends up destroying whatever is BEHIND the guy you're attacking. Tough luck, it might be explosives or even walls/cover.) And the AI feels really dumb. They're aggressive for no reasons and don't even care about sacrificing 4 units just to flank one of yours.
Don't buy it until they fix this mess.

Another bethesda console centric game.
I'm sure the game will be great in a year or so, when you'll be able to install mods and patches (made by the community of course, everyone knows beth can't patch their games.)

UI is even worse than skyrim (Yeah, I know.)
The engine is outdated, still no support for ultrawide screens/nvidia surround, no support for high refresh rates, lack of options (coming from the engine's limitations) pick your poison, the engine was made to run the game at 30fps.
Heck, if you try to run the game at more than 60, either you'll get stuck in whatever (from elevators, to hacking machines) or the game will run so fast it'll be unplayable (YES, the gamespeed is dependent on your frames. I too thought we were in 2015, but seems beth isn't aware of that.)
Hundreds of other bugs, but that's okay since it's a beta.. I said beta? Sorry, I meant Bethesda, game.

All in all, don't buy this mess at 60bucks, wait for it to get at 30 or wait for next year's goty (including the dlc's), by this time the mod community will have fixed half of those problems (Sadly they won't be able to fix everything, we'll have to wait 2020 to see if they finally try to make a real fallout 5 and not another generic fallout 3.5)

"Just plug it in and you can play" they said.
Poor rift support. Can't skip cutscenes AND impossible to look around when in those, no positional tracking, no ways to make the hud bigger (or even readable) and horrible latency.
I can see that techland got some pennies into the people's pockets to get good first hand rift demos impressions.
Amateur work, first title I bought from techland, and will be the last.
