At first I was just going to write this positive review to boost their ratings, because I absolutely love this game and the devs. But thinking back, seeing this game's debut in 2012, it was the reason I even wanted a gaming computer in the first place. My parents got me an Alienware X51 R2 for Christmas of 2013, and along with getting FarCry 3, Battlefield 4, and Mirrors Edge, I downloaded the tech demo. I can't even remember if it was purchasable yet, but that first blue Gavril D was absolutely captivating.

Nearly a decade later and I still continue to be impressed every time I play. No other game is comparable to this one in scope or improvement of core mechanics. The fact that it's still well into early access is exciting to me, because if they still have a long ways to go and it's already this good, it's hard to imagine just how incredible the "final" product will be.

So, in a matter of one week I've managed to go from MGE down to Nova 3. I understand the change in the rank system, but really? People are even claiming to have deranked after WINNING games. As if Valve couldn't break the game any harder after the R8 update, this happens? Even after 10 wins, all it takes is a bad lose and suddenly you de-rank. Valve effectively took one of the largest aspects of the game and broke it beyond recognition. Merry Christmas!

One of the few, if not one of the only games in which the bullets wizzing by your head are actually quite terrifying.

Nuff said, get it.

I don't even have the game but it's allowing me to write this.

I win.

yeah

Pretty ok, dificult controls.

Very nice. Been playing for about 4 days and I was able to beat a 3rd Dan Black Belt the day of the day of this review. It does take time to get use to, but within no time you able to able to adjust to basic momentum adjustments. Within an hour I was able to land my first back flip, and within 2 days I managed to find my own ways to fight. Today I discovered several dismemberment moves with minor testing. The game is very rewarding in it's aspect.

There is an in-game shop called the Torishop, in which you use Tori Credits to by custom aesthetic upgrades (Motion trails, disqualification rings, etc.) To get TC (Tori Credits), one would typically join an official multiplayer server, which give 10 TC per win. You can earn more by joining tournaments and winning (Takes MAD skillz though). You can also by TC with real money on Steam. And if you want free TC, you can participate in one of two survey/ sign-up-things. But the real benefit isn't just earning TC.

In my opinion, the real value is the skill you gain. Being able to rip apart Uke (the ragdoll that doesn't move unless there's manual input from yourself) feels extremely sastifying. It's is even more rewarding to see just what you can do against
other players. You can see your progress as you move up the ranks and gain new color belts. You can also make a server and set it to public. If you want to fight and challenge your friends, you set the server to require a password. You can also set the max player count to whatever you want, and even choose the maximum/minimum belt level of who can join.

There are TONS of different mods to choose from. Whether you like skiing down a steep slope, or playing Assassin's Creed: Toribash, there's always something new to try out. The game is very interesting and the physics are superb. Even given the time this game has been out, it only gets better each time you load it up. My 2 cents? Get it. I'd go as far to say that's it's one of the best free games available. Summary? Get it. It's worth your time, trust me.
