Pixel Strike 3D

TL;DR - This game is bad, do not play it. It may be fun, but you won't enjoy it for long 1: Overview - Pixel Strike 3D is a ghost of its former self. Back in 2020-2022, the game had an actual soul. What made it really interesting - at least for me - was the movement. Weird bugs and glitches that really separated the good and bad players. Now, it is an xbots (xbox players) filled mess. The console and mobile players have such strong aim assist, it is impossible to beat them. The movement was simplified, all the guns became sniper rifles. The game is still fun, don't get me wrong. However it is not as fun as it used to be. Across all my accounts, i have played probably more than 3000 hours 2: The cheating problem - This game does not have an anticheat. Anybody, skilled or not, can create a cheat for it. It is literally being used as a testing ground for new cheaters. Mix this with the fact that the console and mobile players have godly aim assist, and you get a mess of "is this person cheating or is he using aim assist". 3: The Moderators - Unlike many server-hosted games, Pixel Strike 3D relies on moderators to enforce its rules. A cheater will not get banned unless a moderator joins his game and bans him. While it is good for engaging the community; it is awful when you realize that there are only 3 mods, 2 of which are actually active. In a game with hundreds of players across all platforms, it really makes it easy for cheaters and rule breakers to ruin the game. Not to mention that the head moderator (grace) is one of - if not the most - disliked member of the community 4: The developers - named "forever" and "moose". One is the technical - "programmer" - asset while the other is the creative - "artist" - asset. These developers have lost interest in the game; and it really shows. The updates went from being a quarterly occurrence to a yearly occurrence. The game is filled with bugs that i am 100% sure the developer simply does not know how to fix. With players asking the devs to help them (yes, players are that desperate) they repeatedly rejected them. The developers made a mobile game that flopped and now they are trying to make yet another game. Both of which weren't in their area of expertise. 5: Finally; what is "the good" here. The shooting, movement and maps are honestly very fun, but the cheaters, bugs, bad moderators and xbox/mobile filled lobbies just ruin the game. You cannot simply enjoy the game without running into a tryhard mobile or xbox player that is impossible to beat. In short, do not play the game.
