9/10 would play again

Awesome world. Tons of depth to the characters, plot, and history. Nobody takes themselves too seriously and both the characters and the devs break the 4th wall sometimes for comedic effect. There were several major unexpected plot twists and it was overall very interesting to learn about as events unfolded.

Gameplay is fun. I normally have 0 interest in strategy games but I thought it looked interesting so I put it on my wishlist and a friend bought it for me, and I enjoyed it immensely. The characters' abilities are all very cool, interesting, and unique. The base mechanics are simple and intuitive and there are lots of cool interactions between everything. Lots of fun for the 14 hours I spent completing the campaign.

Very high quality game, I never encountered any bugs or crashes, the art style is tastefully simple and pleasant, and you can tell it was made with love.

The only bad thing about this game is Steve Clarke. Screw that guy

I hope to see another project from these developers in the future

Devs finally buffed our weapons. Game is fun again.

Now if only they would make enemies realize that being on fire, wouldnt you know it, HURTS

Pros: Gameplay is great and the magic system and abilities are interesting. The environments and lore are very cool. It has some nice replayability.

Cons: Plot/characters/dialogue are kindof meh, all are VERY EXTREMELY cliche. The lighting engine is godawful and the graphics are incedibly noisy. Game is poorly optimized, on minimum settings I got about 40 fps most of the time, with frequent stutters and drops below 20 fps. It wasn't *unplayable, just very annoying and it's very unfortunate because the game would be quite beautiful if it weren't for the omnipresent lighting noise.

My one major complaint, aside from the obvious noise and optimization issues, is the fact that there are some little colored flying orbs in certain areas that emit a faint ringing sound to let you know they are there. The orbs can be shot with their respective color of magic to get some easy talent points. They follow preset paths and never leave their area so you don't have to go chase them down, just find and shoot them. The problem is that they are transparent and most of the time are found outside under a clear bright sky. That combined with the aforementioned atrocious lighting engine makes them damn near impossible to see unless they fly between the player and some darker part of the environment, which almost never happens because they're ALWAYS above you. Several times I found myself spending 5+ minutes trying to catch one of the orbs simply because I *could not see it*

Overall it's a fun game. Just poorly optimized.

It's a good game, and I do enjoy the extremely rare good moments, but jesus ♥♥♥♥ this community is so annoying. Not a single person who plays this game is not a troll, and not a single troll in this game has intelligence greater than a 6 year old. It's basically impossible to get anything done in game because someone will either weld the reactor door shut and blow it up, or beat you to death for no reason and make excuses about it so you get banned while you're dead and can't tell your side. There's not even a shred of creativity in the trolling and griefing, it's always the laziest method possible. I am astounded at how ridiculously hard it is to find someone in this game that wants to *actually play the game*.

I want to like this game. I want to put hundreds more hours into it. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I am TIRED of babysitting adults while trying to play a videogame.

The single stupidest thing I've ever done in my life, the one choice that probably cut my lifetime average of good vs bad choices in half, the one thing that makes me look most like I have the intelligence of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bacteria

was giving money to this garbage company

This game is nothing but pay to win microtransactions. It is IMPOSSIBLE to compete without purchasing one of several top tier robots, and the roster changes every month or so, because they keep adding new and even more insanely overpowered robots. Their strategy is to release new content as overpowered and uncounterable as possible, wait a few months for people to buy the new content(because it's the best equipment, why wouldn't you want to buy it?), and then nerf it into the ground so it's useless and then release another, even more op robot/weapon/whatever.

I used to play this game as much as possible, in the early days, back on my old ipod, and eventually on my phone. I probably have more hours in this game across all platforms than any other game currently in my library. I hate to see how much Pixonic has desecrated their own game, turning it from a fun robot pvp game into a soulless cash grab full of gambling mechanics for children.

Don't play this game. And if you must, be DAMN sure to keep your credit card as far away from this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a game as possible.

This game can only be described as a hypermovement shooter. wallrunning, sliding, double jumping, and a dash mechanic(called diving in-game), as a hardcore Titanfall fan this game is S tier. The movement mechanics were a little difficult to get used to but they are very comprehensive and I enjoy running around the map at mach jesus

I love this game so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much, it is a beautiful sorrowful story told entirely by the environment as you travel aboard your ship. the ending made me cry because(no spoilers) it involves the first game too, I love these 2 games and this developer. if you have some free time you should 100% play FAR: Lone Sails first, and then play this game, I literally cannot recommend these enough, Okomotive knows how to make a beautiful story with 0 words spoken

sledgehammer go bonk, explosive go boom, you get shot by a helicopter and then it just watches you drive away in your van with 0 attempt to chase you or anything because plot

it's a physics based voxel game about committing elaborate heists with a wide range of tools. You blow holes through buildings to create faster pathways between each item you need to steal. pretty fun

Funny spider game jump around shoot bugs and other spiders

huge weapon variety, from lightsabers you can throw to grenades to shotguns

and the soundtrack is ABSOLUTELY BANGIN, it's so fire that I listen to it outside of the game and it's part of my playlist now

Pretty cool game, I originally found it by watching lathland play it on youtube. You design/build air and land ships and have battles with enemy ai nations, and the goal is to conquer every nation/territory on the map. You have to actually design effective craft and there is an element of strategy to managing your fleet and attacking the enemy. Keep ships at home to defend, or send them abroad to conquer. Challenge the enemy fleet head on, or wait until they are off invading another territory. It's in a genre I normally don't care for, but I really like this game. 8.5/10
