So, this is going to be one of the generic reviews about the game that basically say the game sucks, but here's my opinion why and how, from the perspective of someone who's played SMITE, LoL, and Paragon (Epic Game's MOBA). This game is unfinished from the feel of it that I got while playing. A lot of aspects of it feel like Borderlands (Obviously) but that isn't inherently good. To me, the aspect of using guns and melee weapons in a moba type game...doesn't work, especially since criticals can be achieved voluntarilly instead of playing to our lord and savior RNGesus for the crits. This isn't the focal point of my grief, but it preaches to me the problems of turning a FPS into a MOBA. My second problem is connectivity. I'm on a huge bandwidth with a great modem and internet connection and I find that when I connect to the servers, I experience stupid amounts of lag and ping, even in the offline (private) mode, which leads me to believe that the servers aren't well optimized or stabilized. Since I don't necessarily like the pvp aspect, I decided "Hm, I guess I'll do co-op jazz because doing it in Borderlands was fun." Problem is, no one wants to play the support, everyone plays Rath, Marquis, so some other super squish super carry looking character, and we lose because they die too often. To me, the excessive variety of characters with literally the same aspect about them seems unnecessary. This game had a nice concept and awesome marketing, the art direction and music was spot on, the gameplay is lack luster, especially with the character unlocks and the requirement of certain achievements for it, and it just doesn't feel like a MOBA or a Gearbox game. It feels more like some amalgamation of some sort of fever dream the team head had where he was thinking about any MOBA currently out and Borderlands. Don't get this game. Save yourself the trouble.
