TL;DR: Game network is horrible (SA region), gameplay need to get some work but it's mostly fine I guess.

I really wanted to like this game, but there are a lot of concerning issues that plagued most matches I joined in.

First off the bat is the network integrity, it's utterly obnoxious (at least in SA region). The game can be very laggy at times. Most matches I joined in I had this text saying that there's a bad connection with the mastermind (game host) throughout the entirety of the playthrough. It's not horribly laggy to the extent of seeing teleportations and all that lag magic gamers should be well acquainted, it's mostly doable, but a nuisance. Matchmaking takes a lot of time. Despite some reviews saying that they released an update to fix this issue, it still sucks, I take about roughly 3-4 minutes to find a match on queue, which is kind of odd, because my first matches didn't take longer than two minutes to join in. Most of that time waiting it seems to occur that there's a very frequent oscillation of people joining and leaving a lobby for unknown reasons. Frankly, if that's a fix, it's not good enough. They seriously need to work this up, in my region at least.

As for the gameplay, it's not too bad. Like I said earlier, I wanted to like this game, because I actually had fun playing. There's only one map you can play in the open beta, so it can get boring pretty fast as soon as you're well acquainted with every nook and cranny on the map. As for the players, I'll first address the role of mastermind because a lot of people under the reviews section really didn't like how some of his features plays out. Ok yeah, he can spawn stuff in your face. It bugged me at first, but it's not really that big of a deal honestly. Might need to do some nerfing on mr X's abilities, but I think he's mostly fine. Most of the gameplay seems solid to me. The survivors seem well balanced. Teamwork plays a paramount role for the survivors team, because you can literally get screwed over by one sluggish and incompetent person. This is where my major complaint comes in to the gameplay. The game is structured so that all four survivors must progress together. The map is divided in different sections and you can only progress through these sections when everyone gathers on the section exit. That said, if for instance everyone but ONE person is not following these simple steps, it's game over man, you're done. I for one went through this frustration where one of our teammates was walking over the map like a dazzled cockroach or something. We had more than 4 MINUTES, and we lost the match because of that one person. There is no vote kick in the open beta. It might not be a bad idea that add that in the full game.

I know this is the open beta, I hope this is taken for feedback to improve the game because I see potential in it. I kind of support that capcom should do another resident evil outbreak, but maybe they should do that as an entirely different AAA game in the future. Resistance fits for a quick, Oubreak/L4D hybrid type of game.
