Early Access Review
Currently have to manually go into the games folder and tell it to uninstall the anticheat so you can install the anti cheat and from there finally open the game.

Not gauranteed to happen to everyone.(?)

Otherwise its amusing.

The game is stable and it looks nice, its an amusing thing to go and wander through a big map and look at some nice views here and there, somtimes simple sometimes a little complex.

The combat is passable, it functions but it also doesn't feel like its own, it is like shadow of the colossus trying to be a final fantasy game in that you can cast a big spell and hurt a monster or you can climb the monster and hurt them that way, climbing isn't really all that good, just gets in the way and often times just isnt really necessary or called for.

Traveling also takes too long, you have a couple things you can do to make some of it quick but theres only a little bit of fast travel, ultimately you will be wandering valleys and country sides for most of your gameplay wondering to yourself why you would bother fighting enemies under various conditions or which quest actually progresses the story.

Speaking of story there isn't one, theres cutscenes but there isn't a story, thats vague but it is genuinely the situation, you start the game and get an introduction to a dragon and from there a loose concept of whoever kills said dragon is the head honcho, but from there people just sort of babble at you in really bad Shakespearean and the game just expects you to decipher everything from a quick conversation for really most quests.

Hey lets talk about progression, and the fact that once you have SOME of your armor you will likely hit a wall and be expected to advance the game, as well as start chasing upgrades before you have a set of gear you like using, or can meaningfully enchant anything to begin with, this is all coupled with what honestly just feels like a really really small and limited item table, i don't know how anyone plays "fashion" in this game when there aren't really that many "outfit" ideas to be had from whats available.

TLDR: This is a game for people who don't like games.

This game doesn't have a lot going on, the game is mostly stable but still has hiccups here and there just be sure your computer can actually run this game it has a lot on your screen at once.

Beyond that the gameplay is simple theres melee bad guys and ranged bad guys and a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ton of specials and elites that you fight in a L4D style map, the thing about these maps is that they really just all look very very similar to each other with not a lot going on in any of em, any discerning features of a map are very brief before you find yourself wandering the same few hallways and cramped doorways that you're really not even looking at.

Thats because there is a lot of fighting going on at any one time so you can't really enjoy the visuals which just makes the cosmetics feel doubly useless and unsatisfying given that i can't see my character wearing it unless im in the lobby.

From there there is no content in this game beyond grinding out items and farming resources to do so, because a lot of events are all temporary and don't offer much reward when you participate in them, the patches and updates are often very lackluster in just giving variations of weapons nobody uses because nobody is interested in using them in the first place, which is ridiculous logic.

The fact that there isn't any real story going on besides a loose narrative makes the game feel very empty alongside the lack of content in the game, all of this together just makes for a very cold, stale and uninteresting experience that ultimately turns off most people because the nature and design of this game makes people put a lense on the flaws of the combat system.

TLDR: There is no content, the cash shop is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the constant skill changes arent doin anything fun, everything looks the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ same and every time they give you something new its for like 2-3 weeks ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tops, ♥♥♥♥ this game don't waste your time or money.

Quick fun little game.

Plays like a very very mild top down RPG where you go back to town and build it up, then go kill some more monsters until you're done.

This game is an ok remake, there were very few stability issues with it but i did encounter some with the bolt thrower mines and trying to knife too quickly from a weird position, beyond that the challenges are pretty straight forward didn't spend very long getting medallions at any point.

This game has a cait sith mission, if you've played FF7 Dirge of Cerberus you already know what im going to say.

A cait sith mission is where the game breaks pace and tone heavily so that way they can give some side character a little stealth mission to get through, in a game that really isn't about the stealth. (Having the option for stealth is not a focus on stealth.)

This section is skippable if you know the times for the clocks, 11:04 and 7:00, but that means you do not get to unlock one of the best weapons in the game and miss out on several treasure pieces.

This mission is out of place enough that it is worth not considering buying this game because of it, it is poorly to put together and thought out as well as very poorly placed as when it happens you are likely already in the middle of doing something else and will have to do this song and dance in order for the game to continue properly.

The little bit of sneaking in this game is not enough to make this part of the game function either, the placement of enemies makes this mission absolutely ridiculous and unappealing as you have no way to defend yourself and the game really does not want to give you any direction at all, which is a problem when the rest of the game is damn near self explanatory.

In honesty this mission whole heartedly just ruins the fun, flat out just kills it.

TL:DR The ashley mission is bad enough you should consider just passing on this one.

Plays very much like a modded classic doom, id say its very akin to brutal doom and quite polished with its appearance and gameplay.

Story is simple you're surprised to find chaos so you gotta fight chaos till ya dont.

Stable running, has mod options on the nexus so they can be used with an installer and improved graphics.

Doesn't offer multiplayer, but multiplayer no longer factors into ME3s story. Is currently having an issue with achievements not being granted.

Small roster of some cool generics and maybe two note worthy gundams, punishes you for leaving casual curb stomps.
