Fun but broken game. You'll constantly need to relaunch cause whatever you're doing bugs out and breaks the entire game interface. Don't even consider this for less than the maximum sale. It's generally fun, just wish it freaking WORKED half the time.
Servers
2/10
-Crash a lot.
-Many run-ending glitches and bugs, all progress from run reset when load back up
-canned ham AI response from the devs blaming the user instead of taking any shred of responsibility for their broken servers and buggy game. No, I don't want my stuff back. No, I am not doing your job for you. I want you to get off your lazy bums and do your own jobs so I stop losing my stuff in the first place. Probably won't be fixed.
Gameplay
6/10
-Standard 3rd person FPS
-Clunky controls, game fights you to do things
-gunplay is decent.
-wish crosshair was better
-premium cosmetic gambling crates. Almost everyone else got the message. Why can't Ubisoft?
-Visibly reused assets everywhere. Lots of copy/paste/oh no it LOOKS like we copied pasted, paste some other stuff from earlier.
UI
1/10
-It's the absolute jankiest UI I've seen in any game that wasn't just a stupid gacha explicitly designed to part money from player
-Premium currency - No you do not need more money after we have paid you for the purchase of the game. Greedy and gross when the game doesn't even work right for a day. And yeah, you are correct in stating I don't actually need to buy any, and as such I will not. Doesn't make it any less scummy and I will always voice my discontent.
-Many ads for stupid Ubisoft Connect stuff. I want to play my game not try to figure out your genuinely terrible launcher that you ALSO refuse to make work in any meaningful way, yet insist on forcing into everything.
-Despite all this, the game is actually fun to play, but I'm swiftly losing interest with all the bugs and connection issues. I spend 10% of my time waiting to play the game, 20% of the time googling something they didn't explain at all or that broke weirdly, and the other 70% is split between dying to glitches, canceling commands that inexplicably are force-tied to other commands that actually do things. You can't change it. Key bindings useless for any of the keys I actually want to rebind, option not there.
Story
4/10
-Paperthin so far... x to doubt on it shoring up down the road There's some sickness, and society is collapsing. That's the extent of the story so far beyond fetch quests and the same 3-4 POIs.
-Characters are the only place effort seems to have been made. Dialogue feels like people spoke it, they feel like characters and not props so far
-Factions are alright. Not much else to say so far. I like faction lore but not super interested in it here yet.
-Clans, don't know why. They exist.
-Dark zones are kinda dumb-seeming? I don't know, they sent me in for the story quest and the enemies were immortal (scaled to match? Nah) and some dude was already at the thing they tried to tell me to go get so I didn't get anything out of it either? No longer care, was excited for PVE dark zones now they just seem like a tedious slog that I'll probably be avoiding like the plague they keep mentioning in the story but never explaining.
As before, only buy on a megasale, if at all. Never buy full price, unless you're addicted to regret.
