good ONLY if on sale, 20 dollars is too much

It's like battlefield sorta, but solo w/ bots and battles from 1v1 to 128v128 (if you have a really good pc) with mods and customization galore on top of that.

if you love battlefield but hate dealing with all the crap, or just hate dealing with people, this game is a fantastic option

hopefully the game will look nicer in future but i know that's really hard to do when you have to simulate dozens if not hundreds of bots while being a solo dev. really man, at least get one more dude to help you with the game if you can afford it.

Don't buy this if you want the full product right now, however what is here is very promising and seems to brimming with love. This reminds me of BeamNG.Drive back in 2014, janky physics and optimization, slightly weak and silly ai, limited gameplay, but oh so promising and entertaining.

Also I know you said the game is expected sometime in 2025, but please take as much time as you can, we all want this to be the best game it can be, don't let a silly date stop that.

Also, as with any Early Access Game
check if the game has updates before purchasing at the very least.

Full reworks of the DLC content have been announced, but as of right now, no, most of the items are useless or detrimental, the survivors are half-baked, namely chef. This is not to mention the boss fight which rivals void crab with how lame it is, not outright garbage but not really good either, and also half-baked. The new elite types are bad, Guilded is okay but has way too much health and no interesting attack, just takes gold. which I don't think justifies not killing the enemy. The Twisted elites are so bad I got a mod to remove them, being punished for shooting an enemy is stupid, even more so when proc-chains count and lead to you instantly dying if your build is full of proc-heavy items (aka half the items in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game). The new stages are mostly awesome though.

It's clear to me this DLC was rushed out the door, although some of the ideas are so bafflingly bad, im not sure how they were anything but an idea on a poster board lol. keep an eye on it as the reworks come out over the coming months, but as of right now, do not buy this. If you want more content and never played with it before, Starstorm 2 is a great mod.

3/10: Very disappointing and shaking my already limited confidence in gearbox to handle this series.

P.S. I am only making this review now, as for the last few months I've been downgrading to the Devotion update due to the state of the base game, and lack of functional mods, though mostly the huge bugs and issues.

if you love guns, buy it, otherwise, you might still enjoy it

game was fun years ago, they have removed all the fun out of the game for "competitive balancing" and bloated it to ♥♥♥♥, shooting a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gun feels like a hassle vs what it used to be, its only (almost) balanced because (almost) every operator sucks.

I'm not sure I can fully recommend this game, it has its moments and it looks amazing, but the mechanics are restricting, requiring so many specific things right next to a specific building to make it another, it creates this loop of building the same thing 6 times to make a district (and 10 more just to make it function), and the controls don't help, being manageable but lacking in a few areas I wish were a bit more fleshed out. The game hardly feels like a city building and more like a city styled puzzle game where the aim is to get a high score.

also the whole natural resources mechanic is mostly non-existent, serving only to gate progress, you never really have to factor it as all resources are plentiful and/or regenerate, its basically cash in every other game with extra steps

also there isn't really a way to lose (or even basically lose) unless you are an absolute dunce, the needs of the people are so basic (being a list based on the building type) that as soon as its set up, you literally never think about it again, even as the city expands around it.

Planning is non-existent to new players because you can't see any of the buildings or how to unlock them ahead of time, and road networks serve little purpose, if you really wanted to, you can just throw them nonsensically and not get punished as long as it exists.

Overall, I like the ideas and style, but playing the game gets old fast, with restricting and repetitive systems that only exist to be annoying or make your city look worse. (also i played this game a lot more on my friends account before they bought it for me, hence why I only put 1.6 hours in it)

i beat this heist on death wish while screaming and wanting to end it all

i beat every other heist on death wish easily and can beat a number of heists on death sentence

if you play any difficulty above overkill, this heist is a painful slog of limited cover (or no cover in the case of the end of day 2 lol), oversized maps, endless cops with the high ground, and needing to carry 15 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bags, oh? you wonder if you mean max? no you have to secure 15 bags on a massive map in day one, and defend 15 more on day two because you have to deal with the god forsaken cage secure point.

honestly, this review is more a vent of my anger because no one will purchase this on its own, but god i hate this heist, if you don't play high difficulties, its fine, still nothing special due to limits of the engine and issues with design, but good attempt i guess.

game wasn't overwhelmingly positive on recent, i must fix this

play this game pls, its hard but really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun

Great game, needs a bit of work balancing and bug wise, but absolutely worth it
be warned though, this game NEEDS a team above difficulty 3-4 (more so than many other co-op shooters) unless you enjoy sweating harder than a comp CS:GO player on a treadmill lol
