If you're a fan of dungeon-run type games, have a need for progression, or just want to kill millions of monsters and like seeing shiny things drop, this is the game for you. Also a great game if you enjoy tinkering with fun builds, as there is hundreds of different ways to play!

I think I've gotten to a point where I can write a review for this, and most of you reading this will probably ignore most of it but it isnt for those people.

This review is for those who actually want to consider giving the game a shot. I say, if you have the money, and are interested in the game but dont want to wait for a sale, do it. If youre skeptical and cant make an informed decision on your own, wait for a sale, but by all means try the game at some point.

Heres some reasons why:

For one, the story, while slightly cliche in some aspects does infact get interesting as all hell, and surprises you in ways you wouldnt guess (No spoilers here).

The satisfying combat, while difficult to master, has me feeling all warm inside when i shotgun blast a wanderer into bits, or bounce a grenade off walls to trash a mob of them. Theres also a wonderful assortment of weapons to kill wanderers and such with, along with elemental effect modifiers if youre so lucky to get a weapon with one.

The skill tree, isnt restricted in any way, you can get up to level 40 in your main class, unlocking all of the perks eventually, albiet slowly. Then there are subclasses, which you unlock after completing the story entirely (this isnt really a spoiler as it does nothing to change the view of the story, not sure why its locked to the end but whatever its there).

The end game, ooohhh boy the end game, has you doing some fun stuff aside from the Co-op Salvage missions for cool gear and stylish weapons (would be spoilers to go into it but its thoroughly enjoyable).

The base building is really fleshed out, and nice to fiddle (get it? no? ok.) with, the controls for it are a mess but the concept is useful and fun.

All in all, the game's story was very enjoyable, the gameplay is enjoyable, and the multiplayer is enjoyable. Theres some flaws here and there that can be overlooked, ignored or laughed at, but its a good game at its core.


FOR THOSE OF YOU UPSET WITH THE MICROTRANSACTIONS:

I get it, it sucks having to pay money to have a second slot to play a whole new game without deleting your old one. You also have stuff for buying emotes and boost tickets for co-op and such, but with Konami being who they are we kinda expected that. At least the game is good and you get SV coins (for buying those things) for free just by playing the game, so yeah. Fortunately none of the game's actual content is locked behind a paywall. Buy the game, play the game, have fun, try to give it a chance, or dont, I just wrote the review cause so many people hate the game for no reason.


TL:DR: Try it out, its a good enough game to play it, especially with friends.

Warframe is a truly wonderful experience for anyone who enjoys gunplay, character customization, replayability, variation in weapon types, story, and fast paced combat. I for one wish i could play it more than i have already, and some days ive spent entirely on Warframe! Its atmosphere and style seem to lock you in and drag you up and then throw you around like a rollercoaster, while the gameplay keeps you coming back for more.

Although old and low-population, mildly outdated and certainly not being developed any longer, Global Agenda has and always will be one of my favorite nostalgia games. Ill just list some pros and cons for the current state of the game as that's the most important for people who want to come back to it.

PROS: Missions are fun and the community is relatively friendly (especially if you group together in the Discord server). Open world is very co-operative friendly and you can follow your friends in all their quests and even reliably do missions with fewer players. Missions range from simple 4 player dungeon to 6 player PvPvE to large scale co-op defense raids. PvP itself consists of structured PvP maps with CTP and Payload, and there is a mode called AvA which is just large scale guild map conquest. Most of the mission and PvP content is fairly fleshed out and enjoyable.
There is no Pay To Win, because for one, you cant actually buy the currency as far as i know, they barely have the servers up. Also, the only thing that you can do with said currency is buy flair/cosmetics and buy items with it instead of credits (which arent hard to get).
Combat is fast paced and there are a variety of weapons to collect which can help in different scenarios. Each class gets their own weapon types but all are equally balanced and none are inherently 'better' than the others aside from their role (healer/tank/dps).

CONS: The game was cut down before being finished and as such is stuck in its outdated format of early mmo structure. Leveling is somewhat slow and many fun aspects are gated behind level (you cant access most content until level 30/50). The first of two open world maps has no waypoints or markers, and no fast travel, making travel slow and sometimes frustrating. The UI takes some getting used to, and there arent very many QoL features if any.

TLDR: Global Agenda is an old fashioned mmo, co-op and group-based third person shooter with issues mainly caused by its sudden demise. Its overall gameplay and current content is satisfying but can easily deter solo players or those with a dislike for old grindy mmo genre.

Would love to see more players in-game and I love this game to death so maybe in the distant future it will be revived, but for now its a good time-sink and fun game to play with friends.
