As much as I'd love to recommend this game, I just simply cannot. CD has proven to be incompetent even moreso with their latest "fix" for the game. If not for the more bugs than actual smoothly-running things in this game, it may be pretty solid. Remember a time when companies actually had beta tests that took care of most issues before release? That's where we're at now, after paying $60.

The missions, while somewhat repetitive, are still relatively fun when they actually work. Things get stuck behind walls on occasion, but, if you're lucky a little bit of aoe will kill it instead of having to reload your checkpoint.

If you're able to actually press "Start" without the game crashing now, the loot is nerfed, hooray. While a lot are comparing it to Anthem, I won't, because Anthem actually works.

I guess Crystal Dynamics is super confused by social distancing, and nobody mentioned to them that it does not apply to online gaming. They've done a pretty good job of keeping us fairly distant as their matchmaking does not work for co-op. I don't typically play with pugs myself, but, it's a neat little feature for those that do.

With a little coaching from a company that knows what they're doing, this game may get fixed in 6 or so months, in time for you to pick this up on sale for $10, if it isn't F2p by then. Until then, you'll find more enjoyment out of opening a different game, and pressing ALT F4 every half hour or so.

At least it was released in 2020, though, it may keep it off a list of "Worst things that have happened in 2020" list in the future. Oof.
