EMPULSE

Honestly this is just worse Titanfall with a bad art style. To its credit, still not a bad game. But I'd rather just play splitgate 2 for free than this.

Maybe i'm washed but i find it too hard to play on mouse and keyboard after trying controller. I didnt think its that strong but i cant say much on it besides knowing i hit a limit when i usually play on mnk.

c'est bien

very siily game with great movment, after game vc reminiscent of early cs lobbies.

An interesting successor to TitanFall 2. What's done well is appealing. + Training while searching: Thanks a lot for this mode, I don't understand why every game doesn't have this. Big respect. + Monetization - Excellent strategy and doesn't overwhelm you. No 5-minute reminders or impact on gameplay. The currency for spins is distributed quickly, you can spin it – that's great. It's not great that you can't buy what I want for a fix. But time will tell whether the developers have any sense or not, but for now it's clear they do. + Movement - Wow, that's great, give me more. Almost like TF2, as an ideological and spiritual successor, wow. + TF2 is simpler and more arcade-like, I suppose, a feature of the engine. Nevertheless, it's enjoyable, intuitive, and has elements that are easy to learn and hard to master. It lacks a bit of depth like TF2, but maybe I just haven't figured it out yet. It's pretty unclear how to gain serious speed and maintain it, but that was the case in TF2 too, and it probably takes some time to figure it out. Without messing around with classes, it might be a bit of a bummer for some. + In my opinion, the double jump is better than the jetpack. It's a bit overpowered and exacerbates the auto-aim problem. That is, as you gain speed, you can change your trajectory in any direction without a speed penalty, and the jetpack also gives you the ability to change altitude by circling. Overall, it's great, but I miss the double jump; it's more enjoyable than the jetpack. Another nuance: the speed, etc., doesn't feel the same as in TF2. Of course, different games and different engines are fine, but my problem is that it's unclear how to gain speed on your own. There's no Source engine jump, no wall boosts like in TF2 (another Source quirk), and other minor issues. + It turns out that serious speed can only be gained from acceleration panels, where they exist, and if they don't... the grappling hook saves the day. Again, these are the little things that will make the game better; right now, it's more than just fun, cool, and youthful, and will give you 50+ hours of fun, hee hee, ... (There's one rocket per shot against infantry, that's basically it, the auto-attack is laughable) + The modes are quite interesting and creative, I definitely salute the game here, I hope they'll continue to develop these ideas in the same spirit. Between + and - + Progression - in my opinion, in the spirit of TF2, but in the current reality, it's a dead giveaway. It's not critical, but I don't understand why I need to play 10+ hours to get a weapon that's interesting to play with. Since the key weapon types have few variations, this creates a problem. If in TF2 you got AR/Sniper Riffle/Pistol/Shotgun with one variation each from the start and then unlocked variations as you progress, here you just unlock a gun. There aren't many variations yet, but that's not a problem. Again, the progression feels needlessly drawn out. What's particularly annoying is this: At the start of every game and every round, you wait 20 seconds for everyone to be "ready," and then another 10 seconds before the game begins. Why does it take so long? I don't know, I hope they fix it. The menu navigation is understandable, but tedious. I believe they'll make it simpler and more intuitive. I didn't like the Intel mode. The auto-aim issue. How many games has it ruined, and how many more will it ruin... I hope it's not this one. It feels like an unfair advantage. I really hope the developers can solve this dilemma, as it's a critical issue right now. At a fast pace, a person can't hold a clip to their body without a miss, but a gamepad can. Ultimately, they simply wipe you out without giving you a chance. The problem isn't so much the auto-aiming, but rather that I have no way to compete with them on the MCU. I can't outshoot them, I can't make them miss, and all the tools in the game don't give me the ability to outplay a gamepad. The above situation doesn't happen often. They're annoying, but not too much so far, and cross-platform support can be disabled. But objectively, it's a drawback. I really want the game to develop and become a worthy successor to TitanFall 2, with its own variations. With current news, more and more key creators of beloved games and mechanics are leaving behind nothing, and studios aren't trying to preserve their legacy, making mediocre games year after year, boringly similar to each other. **Bottom line: The game is awesome. It's fun to play. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for your friends. Play it in the evenings.** **To the developers, good luck and keep supporting the game.**

Genuinely good fun for casual & competitive movement shooting, awesome game
