My initial review: an early access game with great potential. once the memory leaks and issues with its unity engine are resolved; i expect this to be a highly rated title. for now the game is barely playable and rather boring (boring in my opinion)

Review as of 6/18/21: Many of the game breaking memory leaks have long since been fixed. the game is currently playable for many consecutive hours. devs have also eliminated some of the early game grind with mining for ores. all in all i am very satisfied with how this game has changed.

Dumb. The entire premise of this game is just dumb. Think portal, without the portals. And guns. Robots fighting robots. The cake is a lie.

'Free to play, Pay to pay.' And that wasnt a typo. The game in itself is a good idea, However it lacks originality on every front from the combat, to the story. The 'give us your money' ('so that you can give us more money') Ads are EVERYWHERE. You almost cant complete a quest without the game trying to tempt you into opening your wallet. While I understand the dev team needs revenue, I would much rather a thirty second video ad at start up than the CONSTANT whine and plea for money.

Great for non competetive play if you have a few friends to play around with. But unless you're willing to fork out real money; Expect to be little more than cannon fodder for the pay to win characters. This game is pay to win all the way.

As I have not left the 'beginniners only' servers yet, My review may change.

I am definitely a fan of the game so far. I like the strategic elements of combat, and how balanced and different the three classes are. A sniper for instance, will never win in a heads up close range fight. A support class will never beat a sniper at long range. Knowing what your class is capable of, the strengths and weaknesses of your load out; are essential to success in this game. More so than any shooter I have ever played. As a fan of the Soccom series, I would recommend this game to anyone looking for a similar experience.
On the flip side, Pay to win elements are all TOO obvious. The 'free' currency that is earned through combat isnt anywhere near the worth of paid currency. Honestly I would much rather astetics be the only thing one can earn through actually forking out money. But that is not the case. 20 dollars gets you the best equipment your class can offer. 20 Hours doesnt get the free player the same benefits at all. Meaning the players earn less than '1 dollar' an ingame hour. And some of the equipment is exclusive to p2p players. That being said, I fear that this game will turn into Planet Side 2. But until it does, I give it a 4.4 of 5.
