Do you like Tron? Do you like games that are simple to learn but hard to master? Do you want to yell in excitement at your screen as your team pulls a clutch play? Laser League is for you!

Definitely needs ux improvements, but the gameplay is solid!

Skill tree climber. Non procedural map, space is pretty pointless and isn't even a seemless transition, you fly up, hit a button, then map load. Once in space, going back to ground is similar, you fly to the side of the space map that has the planet in its skybox essentialy, then press a button. Once you climb the skill tree there is nothing to do in the game. When you find another players base you can't raid it or anything, just destroy their stuff which has no benefit other than being a ♥♥♥♥. Enemies all seem to have a very similar A.I.. Your assistant is pretty much just a moving inventroy that gets stuck a lot, all other functions seem like they don't work, either because ai or just complete lack of existance. Map appears to be pretty small, at least the map with resources on it. If you go beyod a certain point there are no more resources or environment, just empty polygon ground texture. Seems like someone took a bunch of prebuilt code libraries and put them into a game which sure added some nice things like weather effects, a planet, a movement system, etc, but it doesn't feel like there was much done with the actual coding of the game itself.

The worst part is that it took a while to figure this out because when you first start playing, the game seems alright, the small area isn't so small when your on foot, but once you invest 4 or so hours you get a hover bike, then, once you get your base set up to the point where you want to go exploring outside of the local resources (~10 hours in), you find out there's nothing to explore, space is crap, and finding and raiding others is pointless.

Now here I am 10 hours in and have come to the realization just how "unfinished" the game is. Going to attempt a refund. Definitely not going to buy a game just from looking at the developer provided content on the store page again, especially for early access...

I will give it this. The feel of the game when first starting out was pretty good. But after realizing it wasn't a procedural environment (populating a whole planet with resources and decorative items would have to be) I began to realize this game is not the thing I thought I was buying.

I'm just going to stick with Space Engineers. Now that is a great space game... IF THEY WOULD JUST FIX THEIR BUGS :| (Note, I haven't played in a month and hear they just went into beta with some huge bug fixes, fingers crossed they fixed the big bugs! :D) See, I'm not just giving a bad review because this game is early access. I've had space engineers for a couple years now, it's been 100% worth the money, even if I had to be patient with bugs, and it has been in early access right up until a few weeks ago. This game however, is not worth the money. At least not yet, and not for a while.

I've come across a lot of hackers in this game lately, ruined it for me, uninstalled.

Other than that, I found it enjoyable. Diverse classes have different game play styles and allows you to change it up when you get bored of one particular class.

Has the same funness and intellectual stimulation as the first plus some. Including an in depth story line and many new ways to complete puzzles.
