Good:
- Role play and theme around democracy and story
- Big fights with lots of enemies and huge enemies
- Nice change of paces between weapons and stratagems

Bad:
- Lots of bugs. New stuff is also released with bugs
- Supply lines are not shown into the game. Progress is based on percentage of players. Both combined, it makes it very hard to have an actual impact when other players are mislead to attack another planet and actually hurt the overall progression
- Some missions are way harder than the other ones
- The story is too scripted. It's better to have hard major orders where the issue influence the story than just preventing hell divers to go on some planets likely to prepare the next stories

Overall:
- This is a really good game. Improvements are needed, but anyone can already enjoy a few dozens of hours with the current content.

Imposing a PSN account was a mistake. However, since they've reverted it, I'll update my review

To avoid for any casual player. The experience is horrible when you don't spend too much time in it:
- Expensive
- Bad UI (you can be lost in a place with no way to hear again the last dialogue or get any meaningful hint, super hard to know which quest you need to follow to get what you want. e.g if you skip the artifact quest, you don't know how to get it again)
- Reset artifact each season => almost impossible to enjoy a full artifact since it resets each time
- Super deep story => if you don't know the whole story, then you're completely lost and it doesn't make sense
- Regular mod or other changes that will break your current build. Without knowledge, it's hard to know what to put again since you need time to understand these changes
- Bugs (way too many of them, even in raids, which ruins the last possibly enjoyable experience)

I played this game during a few hours and it's a shame. Good graphics, but clunky mechanics:
- Tools cost a lot compared to how much you can use it. This makes the gameplay very repetitive
- Animals are terrible:
-- boars can tp on you if they stuck themselves against rocks. They sometimes also reattack you a lot faster than you expect (I don't know if it is random or if it doesn't always match the animation). They can sometimes hit you even if you've avoided them.
-- birds can hit you in very unexpected situations. You can be sure that you're protected, but sometimes it still hit you. Usually they make noise before hitting you, sometimes they don't. When you attack them in melee while they are picking a stone on the ground. They insta-hit you too.
-- The fights seem very unfair. They can hit you while it doesn't make sense. The player is punished when they stuck themselves, but the animals can cheat when they are in a similar situation. They need a lot of hits (at least in early game)
-- You can be very close to the shark passing by, but you can't hit them in melee
- It is also still unclear to me where I am supposed to find some of the materials
- It's already hard to get materials in solo, but you can lose 2/3 of your inventory because of the cheating animals. You are then f**** because you can't build tools anymore and you have to gather all your items again.

Super fun with friends

Great to start learning Japanese. Lessons are well explained and I can see these words appearing in concrete situations.

Unfortunately, I can't really improve more once I've learned all words. I would have appreciated if the max-japanese mode would have actually replaced all sentences in Japanese. This would have allowed me to still learn more while playing a second time since I can always access the translation if I don't understand

I don't understand. I am still at the very beginning in the 2nd level when I got the first orb of destruction. However, this orb doesn't do anything. It just falls to to the ground. I have no idea what to do here since it doesn't seem to interact with anything else

====== 0-30h ======
I've directly begun with 1v1 ranked match and became bronze 1 division 1. This division is just so toxic. About 70% of people here were strong people who win easily at first and then they forfait to stay here.

The matchmaking seems also broken. When I am in the lowest rank, I want to fight people at the same rank as me and not higher, because there is often a gap between our skills in this situation. After so much effort to rank up, I don't want to derank, because I fight people clearly stronger than me. I'd largely prefer wait 1 minute instead of a 20 seconds search to find people who are too strong for me.

I don't really like the controls and camera. It's so weird and not intuitive for me.

From what I've seen until now, the gameplay in 1v1 is bad, because if you fail one shot, the opponent can easily score a goal without any chance of getting back

Finally, when my connection has problems, I would like to know it before the game starts and not when the game begins. It's really unpleasant to start a game and just can't do anything because of constant lags.

====== 100-200h ======
If you don't give up after trying the game and climb the ladder ranks (high silver or more), the matches becomes far more interesting. At this point, players are more aware of the game mechanics, have some knowledge about how to play in teams and the game is also faster. That's only when I reached this point that I found this game enjoyable even when I am solo queuing.

Still, the matchmaking is quite random. Sometimes, you can play for hours with good teammates and sometimes in every match they are people giving up after 2-0, afk, being toxic ...

====== 300-400h ======
I almost don't have any motivation to solo queue. So many players are toxic, afk, ball chase, ... At this point, I see many toxic players and dumb players who have (to compensate) far better mechanics. It's hard to find games that are both balanced and not toxic.

Seulement 5 maps différentes, mais très bon gameplay. J'adore la possibilité de modifier des paramètres surtout l'autorisation de saut et les collisions avec les autres joueurs
