Making a product worse on pc after people have already bought it just so you can release it on console is not very nice.

GOOD

Very fun and works really well on steam deck

more content in this dlc than most AAA games

I love democracy

Pretty good so far, feels very similar to the first game but with some nice added features. Performance is decent, and i didnt run into any game breaking bugs just a lil bit of jank hear and there.

The gameplay is fun, the time spent in the missions is a blast, but the rest of the game is just absolutely soulless and feels like it was designed by an algorithm.

For example:

You cant pick what mission you want to play, they rotate through being available meaning you often get stuck replaying the same one over and over again. Seriously why cant I just pick whatever mission I want from a list for my private match with friends. I've played like 30 hours and there are still missions I've never touched, yet some I've replayed dozens of times all due to randomness.

Similar story for weapons, the shop is random so if you want a specific gun you have to wait for it to randomly be available with a good enough gear score.

Also why even have a gear score, it just makes playing with friends annoying as hell, my friend is lvl 10 and im lvl 20 so there is no difficulty that is good for both of us, either way play one too easy for me or one too hard for my friend.

Also the story, what the hell was the point of hiring Dan Abnett, and doing all those promotional lore videos when you just play the missions in a random incoherent order and there is no overarching plot presented in the game.

TLDR: An unfinished mess that employs as many underhanded tactics as possible to keep you playing as long as possible so you spend money on micro transactions. Its on game pass if you have that play it on there, if not I would avoid the game entirely.

If this game was marked as early access this would probably be a positive review, but for its current price and apparently being finished there is nowhere near enough content to justify it as a full release.

Some campaign levels and especially the prolouge are exceptional, but the game is really ruined by weird choices that just break up the pacing completely and only exist to annoy you and pad the runtime. (The crane puzzle in the hub, the moon level, those paper areoplanes that change your avatar)

Also despite being advertised as a modding platform, the only real supported mods at the moment are new avatars, no custom levels or gamemodes, no custom weapons or enemies e.t.c, which is very disappointing because as I said before there really isnt much content in the game, a handful of new weapons and barely any new enemy types.

In all it feels like a boneworks 1.5 rather than a new game, doesn't break the "tech demo" curse faced by most VR games, I would hold off for a while.

If you like first one, you like this one

A very solid coop RPG game. On Normal difficulty it is challenging without becoming rage inducing, however if you are looking to really have a hard time then the harder difficulties are there. The progression in this game is top notch, and the enemies and bosses are interesting. Considering it isn't full price either, it is worth picking up if you are into looter shooters or RPG games.
