(Quest 3) My first hour impression of this game is spectacularly awful. The tutorial was fine and well-made, but then it all fell apart. I was wondering why my vision randomly kept bouncing while I was playing. I figured it was a glitch. Nope. It happens for seated players, and after the tutorial it turns into your character crouching every 5-10 seconds for no reason even while you're still seated, which slows you down considerably. After about 15 minutes of "Height calibration" and "Crouch/sprint threshhold", I gave up and joined freeplay. Queue popped, ready to go... then nothing. What happened? Oh well, let's try again - queue up, but the window disappears immediately and I'm left with a 20-ish second countdown before I can queue again. WTF? Queue again, queue screen disappears after 1 second again, cooldown starts. Ok, let's restart the game. After closing the game and restarting, it finally worked, and I finally joined a lobby - with 0 people. Looking around, there's a corner full of "No longer available" items to purchase. Super helpful. Also the "Contra" section of the freeplay lobby makes you realize the whole thing is a trap - it's not actually free, you have to pay for it. I walk around the lobby for a little while longer, still "crouching" occasionally for no reason, which still slows me down. A few 12-year-olds join my lobby and start screaming. Aaaaand I'm done. Recommendation: Avoid.
