It's a very good extraction shooter. Weird Art direction (I like but very subjective). It's not for everyone but after 800hr in Hunt:Showdown it's for me. A negative point: cpu heavy (use almost 100% of my AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core) , might require more optimisation.
buen juego anashe, aun se dice anashe? no
Całkiem niezły extraction shooter, niepodrabialny styl i dźwięk, miejmy nadzieję że Sony nie wyciągnie wtyczki zanim się gra na dobre rozkręci
Finde das Game gut kann aber auch sehr frustig sein:)
The PVE WILL make this game peak. For now, the best part is the loading screen! I bust every time I see it!
fun if you have two friends you can use to shift blame onto
The game is very fun once you start thinking about it as being like a more mobile Halo with looting elements. Reroutes and flanks are very effective due to the short TTK, and treating it a little more like a movement shooter really helps. The maps are mostly pretty good, and there's usually always a way to get the drop on people, to the point that a good player can relatively consistently win 1v3 fights if the other team isn't running specific loadouts to counter it. If you do try to just win trades all the time you'll suffer for it, but the people who turn fair fights unfair first will win, and it'll feel pretty good. The downside is that, at least as of the first half of Season 2, by far the worst part of the experience is the sandbox balancing. There are and have been severe outlier weapons for the whole of the game's run so far. The Bully SMG, the D54 pistol, and the Misriah shotgun are very strong, obvious best in slot CQC weapons that invalidate the other guns. Precision rifles are generally inferior to snipers and the ammo economy on snipers just isn't as hard as Bungie seems to think it is to manage. So a lot of fights are about getting a snipe off on a team to crack or down, then pushing the advantage to turn it into a CQC fight with one of the dominant weapons. Having said that, off-meta fights in this game are some of the best fights I've had in any shooter, and even the Bully and D54 are okay, its really just the shotgun fights that are terrible. The game is amazing when it works. It's one balance patch away from being the best shooter I play. If you're willing to tolerate the occasional frustrating death to the ridiculously overtuned shotguns Bungie seems to like, then by all means, load up with someone who knows the maps and have some fun. Do note that none of my praise has to do with it being an extraction shooter. It does play a little weird compared to other extraction shooters, much more aggressive and with more of a PvP focus than the rest of the genre. Matches aren't quite as aggressive as Battle Royale lobbies, but it feels closer to that than usual. Go in expecting you'll need to kill or avoid multiple teams, set expectations accordingly.

Voici Marathon.
Theres more sexual tension between the runners and rooks than there is the willingness to fight eachother to the death for a single prestige mod (its a repeater hpr gun mod). The community is just that wholesome! While this is more a personal bonus but this game is relatively buggy. I am however one of the few who prefer the unpolished feel because it allows for unique interactions. In any case its 9/10 game, only occasional struggle is the matchmaking kinda sucks but then again name a single game with good match making thats otherwise also fun, I'll wait. And I guess another struggle is the fact that no one has a mic or are too nervous to use it. And if you don't have a mic tf are you doing on this game, a decent 2 in 1 headset costs like 2/3rds the price of this game.
