I am going to be updating this as things evolve and my focus will be on the endgame.


Update 8.14.25

Today Funcom rolled out a new patch with a lot of bug fixes, but they also reintroduced one of the inventory bugs in the process. Resulting in inventory loss (again) for many players. They also adjusted T6 resource spawns for the second time. This shift has made most T6 resources trivial to acquire. So players have less incentive to move past the edge of the Deep Desert map. This has decreased the amount of PVP. The patch did not include anything new PVP/PVE wise to do. So this is a net loss for the game. I am starting to lose what little faith I had left, as they seem to be moving steadily in the wrong direction.

Cheats also continue to be a huge problem. There have not been any recent ban waves. Aim bots and xray cheats are running rampant still.

I am quite pleased with the game. It holds true to the original game, while also giving some QOL improvements that meld in so well that you barely notice them. All of the things you expect are here. Pick your race, pick your birth constellation, pick your skills. Either preset or custom. Combat seems to flow like the original, with improved animations.

I would like them to tweak the difficulty settings a little or return the old difficulty slider. Adept is a little too easy and in Expert things hit a little too hard.

My specs are as follows.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor
64GB DDR

This is allowing me to run the game on ultra settings, with DLSS set to "balanced". I run at 2650x1080 on a 144hz monitor. My FPS outdoors is around 100 and my FPS indoors is 120+. I am more than satisfied with the image quality, overall it looks fantastic.

People need to keep in mind that when this game originally released it took a high end computer to enjoy it. That is again the case. So if you want all ultra settings, you need above average hardware. If you aren't relatively up to date, you will have problems and you will need to back off on some settings. That is just the way it is.

Oblivion was a massive hit and I am glad to be able to play it updated like this. I hope others who never got to play it before will pick it up now. Without games like this leading the way, there wouldn't be games like KCD2.

If you are a Battletech fan and have played the previous MechWarrior titles you will most likely enjoy this game. In my opinion it follows the format closely of the older MW2 and MW2 Merc titles. Here is what I mean by that.

MW2 Mercs mirrors MW5 Mercs. Both of these are about being a Merc in the Inner Sphere. They lean heavily on both mech piloting and your ability to manage your unit. The single players section of these games are good, but ultimately I think people play them for the open-ended career modes that you have access to. Where you are handling all the little details of your unit and can actually bankrupt yourself if you are not careful.

MW2 mirrors MW5 Clans. These two titles are linear, campaign driven and heavy on the story mode. There is less variety, but more time spent on custom built missions. Making the missions more diverse, even though you have no real control on where you are going in the universe. Both of these titles are Clan based.

I've personally not encountered any bugs so far that have prevented my progress. Bugs do exist though and you can read about them over on the Discord page. There is also a section to report them that the devs are monitoring.

If you are a novice to this universe, you are probably going to be asking some questions about the lore and not understanding some of the slang. If you really want to know about something though, hit up a wiki, chatgpt or google and you will find an answer. The characters and story present in this title are based off of established lore. Some of it going back 30 to 40 years.

Update.

I have now completed the game. It appears to have two endings, so it may offer some limited replay value. Steam says I clocked in at just over 35 hours, but it was likely a bit shorter than that. Due to me sitting around in menus idle a times. The ending is ho-hum imo. Basically without spoilers they are following existing lore, with little to no variation. I hope going forward with DLC that the player will have more options to impact the overall war. It will be less satisfying if they just copy the outcome of the war from the lore verbatim. The DLC will need to offer some alternative timelimes/outcomes in order to make the conclusion satisfying. We shall see what happens.

This is the MMORPG that I play when I just want to relax. It is a rather pretty game for its age and the community is mostly older and laid back. It continues to see regular updates and occasionally they release progression servers or servers with limited time function/features.

It is old school and fully tab target. Has a good assortment of classes, including a few that are rather unique for the genre. There is addon support, though here they are called "plugins". World/Global chat stays busy on just about any server and generally speaking you can typically find answers to any question you may have.

I was told by some videos that this was kinda like an MMO. Then I quickly discovered that it has character wipes. So it had a very short stay on my computer.

I don't know what they have done to this game, but I can't get it to launch at all now. I've played it many times in the past without issue. I have dozens of Steam games on my PC. This thing though is totally botched at the moment.

When trying to start it in DX11 or DX12 modes. I get several Easy Anti-Cheat errors. These complete stop the game from starting. The files that it is tagging incorrectly are legit system files, that no novice user should be touching at all. I attempted to repair with the reinstallers that is present in the game folder, but this produced no results.

So I have deleted my old positive review and I am now posting this instead... Fix your crap.

02/20/24: Good so far. I was able to play about two hours this evening. Full keybinding is in place, which is something that I require because I use ESDF movement keys. So kudos for having that ready for early access. The game is beautiful beyond words, but I do have above average hardware. That allowed me to crank everything to the highest possible setting. So this currently sits at the top of the list for prettiest survival game I have played.

Currently I am fumbling around a bit when trying to build. I'm not sure if that is a me problem and there are faster ways of doing it or if this is simply me needing time to adjust to a different way of doing things.

I've seen others complain about server stability issues. I seem to have dodged this, so maybe things improved as the day went on? My play session went uninterrupted and load times were all satisfactory.

At this time I see no reason to not recommend the title. It is below average price for this sort of game, but it checks all of the boxes that I require. It is also in an interesting setting with lore that sets it apart from similar titles.

Will see how things go on day two and will make every attempt to update this review a few more times. So consider this a WIP.

I've tried this game several times over the years. While everyone says it has improved, I never make it more than a couple of hours before I am bored to tears. Maybe it changes later, but everything I encounter in the early game can be defeated by holding down the attack button. Feels like I am mowing down mobs in Diablo. I just can't get behind it and the narrative is boring with bad voice acting.

It is pretty though, but that just isn't enough.

This is an "OK game but it has much in common with a lot of current shooters. So very little innovation. I enjoy the three vs three format, since it is easy to assemble a team of that size. The match length is in a good spot and not super long like some of these battle royale titles tend to be. Getting kills is a nice satisfying pop of coins flying everywhere.

The character customization, which is the only revenue stream for this game is kinda laughable at this point. The base models are uninspired, ugly and all of the customization with them feels like junk you would pick up at the pawn shop. I see no reason to buy the battlepass. You would have to rework all of the baseline models and start coming up with some clothing/gear that is much better than what is currently being offered.

I kinda wish I could rate this in the middle. Neither a thumbs up or thumbs down. Just neutral.

Sadly I have to kill off my original review and join everyone else in protest. This game has been abandoned before it was complete. It had the bones required to become a decent title, but it was nothing more than a cash grab. I will be extremely hesitant to give these companies money in the future.

Please note, that this is an incomplete title. So expect lots of problems if you purchase it and do not expect it to ever be addressed. It is officially abandoned.
