Got this game through Humble Monthly. Always wanted to play it, so I'm excited.
Start the game. Medium high settings.
Runs "OK-ish" with frame stutters, opening cutscene audo/video is completely out of sync, then the game crashes soon after character creation due to running out of video memory, after just a few minutes of gameplay.

Ok... Reduce settings, try again. Looks significantly worse. Runs at a resolution reduced from 1080. FSR in "balanced".
Still only runs "OK-ish" with frame stutters. After a few minutes crashes with video memory error again.

Oh.... Kaaayyy......... Set everything down to the lowest setting. Game looks AWFUL! Unplayably awful, almost.
Performance hardly improves at all, and after a few minutes the game crashes with the same video memory error.
Tried for hours to get this game to work properly, but never even got that far past the tutorial missions.
I could play Cyberpunk 2077 reasonably well.
What the hell is wrong with this game?

Yes, I'm leaving a review with less than 3 hours of playtime.
However, this game wears its intentions on its sleeve.

So from the outlook this appears to be a nice, dumb game with a lot of jigglies targeted to a more needy adult audience and with some pretty nice looking visuals to boot.
But open the game and you're quite literally bombarded with adverts and animated icons all compelling you... encouraging you to spend money on the... goodness knows how many kinds of currencies there are. From having most of the character customisation locked behind the cash shop, loot boxes, token rewards for every hour spent logged in (no, seriously!) to this gambling pinwheel minigame, everything is designed to go whaling.

So you want to play an action game with sexy females in tight fitting or skimpy armour with jiggly physics?
Wanna know my recommendation for that?
Get Skyrim SE. Or Fallout 4.
Mod it with Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer and your pick of the physics mods available to that body type.
Edit the shape of the body you want to an unprecedented degree of control with Bodyslide.
Install some sexy armour mods.
Want to take it even further? Visit Lover's Lab.
All that without predatory monetization and gambling, while being far more in-depth and advanced than this tripe.
You're welcome and enjoy!

This is the closest experience I've had to DnD in a game.
It's not AS free form as DnD, but it gets damn close.

-The characters are all rather bland; I wouldn't go out with a single one of them if they'd ask me out to a prom. This is rather sad because with characters as fictional as literal monsters you'd expect there to be some intrigue, but there just isn't.
-The writing is nothing more than "LOL funny random!", so much to a point that nothing really seems to matter. The story, if one can call it that, are just random based jokes loosely tied together and don't actually form a proper narrative.
-The choices you make are meaningless. Because the writing is all based on just throwing random funny around there is barely any control over what you do. There is no real game here, you just end up clicking through things till the end.
-It gets repetetive really fast. Despite the the above stated random humour (if it can be called humour) you're going through a lot of the same scenes with every session, making playing the game to try and unlock any events or endings a chore.

I've played many free to play MMO's and they're all the same: grind to do anything.
Please spend money to actually continue playing or get slowed down by collecting 50 apples.
Grinding those apples then comes down to simply clicking to go somewhere and clicking to pick up the apples.
Your reward? 100xp towards your next level. Oh, you'll still need 99900xp points so you can unlock the next story mission and gear with a measly percentage of improvement.
Yay... such...... such.......... FUN.

This game makes grinding fun.
This game IS grinding. Instead of grinding being used as a tool to compel you pay for some premium, it is the centre of the whole game. People will understand this if they've ever played a game like Destiny.
Those 50 apples you collect aren't used to give you a measly xp reward towards your next level, every item you collect in the game and/or grind for are materials you'll use to craft various weapons or "Warframes", the combat ninja suits with powers you run around as.

And there are SO MANY WEAPONS!
Each weapon plays slightly or drastically different; there are hardly any weapons that are straight up just a more powerful version of the last one.
And it doesn't just stop there. A player can collect mods to upgrade their weapons, but it's not as simple as that. There are mods that just buff the base damage, then there are all the other mods that give your weapons various effects, emphasises various damage types and tweak or change various other things, meaning you truly choose how you play.

Speaking of which; gameplay...
You are a cyberpunk/biopunk space ninja out to ultimately defeat your enemies in every way possible and bring stability to the solar system locked in conflict. The game really makes you feel that way as you double-jump, wall run, power slide and bullet jump around the map. This game has some of the most agile freedom of movement I've ever experienced.
But taking it slow is also rewarding, as you are given a significant experience bonus for stealth kills, which increases the more simultanious stealth kills you make.

So the game is grinding, which means visiting a lot of the same places you've been to before for either experience, materials or that one blueprint with a 0.01% drop-rate you're really burning to get. But the missions maps are never quite the same. Each planet has a certain tileset, a certain amount of rooms and corridors that the game mixes and matches together in different configurations. The procedural generation doesn't keep everything fresh and new but it does stop repeating mission from getting boring.
Plains of Eidelon is the only major exception to this. The plains are a very different addition to the game and also quite new, so and can't quite give my full opinion on that till I've played more.

Community is important in this game.
When or if you do decide to play this, find yourself an alliance with a Discord or a Teamspeak server. It makes things way more fun and eliminates any possible tedium.

As closing comments, I would like to say that I often don't like games that require copious amounts of grinding, but this game somehow ate up a month of my life and I'm loving it!
