I JUST LOVE IT!

Preface:

I read a lot of review pointing at "poor" optimization, as well as bad ingame shop and bad anti cheat.

Graphics "Problems":
I can't really see the problem. Of course the game has some rough edges but I with my somewhat old RX 5700XT "underclvolted" paired with a Ryzen 5 5600 can't really complain about bugs, crashes or perfomance isuues. On all Graphics settings always with and without RSR enabled I can't really produce any problems other have in that regard.
But they definitly and hopefully will optimize it further.

Item Shop:
They always communicated the way this game is meant to be and you could earlier see this so why complain when you know it beforehand? As well Stats. Yeah they are different and they may change a bit if you play with others but they are nowhere near Pay2Win (especially in a co-op game where you help each other). Also you can find SuperCredits pretty easy as of now to be able to buy them without spending real money on it.

Anti Cheat:
As for the anti cheat I am kinda split opinion. As I am not really into any of the anti cheat variants I can't really tell if it is uncommon or even bad that it works on kernel base but that's that. They won't change it and you wonÄt be able to get around it if you want to play.

As A professional musician and gamer. I have to say this game is the right gaming should head back to.

The Art Design is just perfect. Everything fits as it should and you can see, feel and hear that every hour that has been put into this game was because there was a collective artistic vision to make a game/make art.

It is very well written. Sometimes you could easily anticipate what happens next and often enough it was a well made fun and enjoyable suprise. In the End I cried literally. It was just perfect from start to finish and I have to say 808 is just my dream.

I am normally no cat person for 808 I wish she was real or at least there were a Plushie/lots of Plushies to buy because she is the cutest little thing I ever encountert.

Works great with Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World playing in the background.

I am sorry but it is just to boring for me. Maybe I am to hardened by Dead Space or just to emotionless but there is nothing that keeps my drive to play the game any longer.

Performance wise it is far from good but absolutly playable. Here and there are bugs and glitches but they aren't often.

Most annoying is that the enemy once noticed you, always knows where you are no matter what and your mates are invisible to them. It pisses me off really hard. Also for two stories only 12 hours is a little low isn't it?

I have to say that this is really polished EA game and even though I have not played a lot I have to say that for the you can get a key (MMOGA for example) you can not do anything wrong.

This game is by far the most awesome game I played since it came out.

For the age it playes really nice and the story is just the type I like to listen to.

An awesome game. Really like the Art and of the Arenas. I am an absolute fan of nearly any arena shooter in which way ever performed. But I could not really test it more than Training and a Bot Match because my PC is so bad that even on potato mode I can't get stady 30fps ;( So I refunded the the game which I am really sorry about, but for what should I give money when I can not afford any better PC components.... Maybe one day. ;)

I played RTS games over 12 years now. So I should be knowing enough. I started with Starcraft got to C&C's and Stronghold as well as other games from the mates of Petroglyph. I all that time I nearly played only the old games to todays time. I tried a lot of games. 8 Bit Armies was very nice but lacked a lot from our good guys here. Ashes of the Singularity was awesome in scale but lacked in late game fun and Starcraft 2 I am not into anymore because of the extrem cluster****s you get. That is way to much for me.

Then I found Forged Battalion and yes I haven't played a lot of it yet. But we all have to work and do stuff to life so I wanted give my opinion from this site. Since I bought it I have only this game installed on my machine. WHY?

It just makes FUN. The Graphics are awesome. C&C Red Alert 3 and C&C Generals in one. Awesome.
The Gameplay...Takes time to get into mostly because of the interface. You don't have to select the buildings like in the early days no you just build it. Weather it is an infantry, light, heavy or drone unit. Don't care and just build whilst you are able to attack and move your units.

And I really hpoe for the Faction build, that there will be a tone more in the full build. I have alot of fun already but I feel a need for more interesting weapons as well as having more ways to customise my little fallas.

All in all I can say that for this price I don't regret buying and playing this game because it has a lot more to offer and gives you way more fun than a lot of games these days. Mostly because you have to unlock the fun in many games after way more hours than I have played this game yet. :D

Micro Machines World Series, a game I really looked forwared to. But I don't feel right with it.
First of all, I pre-ordered it and did not get the skins but ok I don't really cared about them.

Issue 1:
No campaign.

Issue 2:
Lag of a good local Multiplayer with a an arena mode while the other multiplayer has a team based arena mode with CTF and Bombrun

Issue 3:
A more leveling based (online) Multiplayer instead of a fun choose the right car fun multiplayer.

Issue 4:
Only three weapons in Race and Elimination and no power-ups.

Issue 5:
In Arena mode you have a really interesting system of wepons and power-ups but maybe it had been better to have normal weapons
and the specials (power-ups) of the different car types.

Issue 6:
Really short and few maps. And all of a sudden there are some only in special events. Maps that were shown in the Trailers
I haven't seen in the game yet as well.

Issue 7:
Cars don't differ from each other anymore. So no faster, slower, heavier, faster exelarating car. Just alls with different
skins and in arena mode with different powers.

Issue 8:
PERSONAL! Too much trying to be competetiv instead of beeing fun, awesome, crazy and everything else like the previous Micro Machines
and their short but a lot more fun Toybox Turbos.

Issue 9:
The mobile version has a fun collecting and building up a car type. I liked that a lot. Why not here? Instead of
unlocking new skins, quotes, "kill" emojis and "RIP" emojis, why not getting money to unlock new vehilce parts
and get the feel of one first chosen car?

Issue 10:
For real, what did we had to wait for another couple of month? There seems nothing that made it legit to wait even more to still get a
game that lags of Micro Machines.

I think, that is the most for my part. There could much more made better and more content be made for it to make it
awesome and a reboot of the game.

All good hopes from Germany.
