You're right its a trash game but there's quite a few specific points I think need clarifying lol I disagree that 36 hours is enough to get a critical review-worthy perspective on a game with this massive of a scope. This game is an abortion amalgamation of a bunch of games and there's just too much to understand in that time.
1. Re: gunplay being trash. You are correct, it is bad gunplay. But you gotta understand this started as a chinese mobile game, so the interest is less in insane gunplay and more on the stat/build progression (hence all the gacha). If you're look for Tarkov or even Rust gameplay, this ain't the game for that.
2. A gold SMG isn't inherently an endgame weapon, the majority of endgame weapon creation revolves around the much larger build you're going for, mods, calibration bp's, etc. That gold SMG is akin to the "mythic hero" you get at the start of every mobile game. Like yeah its mythic but you can't build it into an endgame unit at the start of the game.
3. Again you're not wrong about throwables being awful, but just to clarify, RPGs and rockets are basically just for raiding bases during war. You shouldn't be using them for combat, whether its pvp or pve.
4. The UIs are weirdly intuitive but still awful because it's a PC game with a chinese mobile game mindset. That statement could honestly explain 99% of gripes with the game design alone.
Otherwise literally everything else you said is completely valid. Its a god awful game, they're probably mining bitcoin on my pc, but I'm definitely still addicted.
Thanks for this comment! To be fair I've now spent 75 hours on the game (and am currently playing) and I unfortunately still feel very strongly, if not stronger, about my views in the video. I do have DIFFERENT problems now though, a lot of bugs I mentioned like floating walk animation have been fixed however now my gps breaks every 10 minutes. I now realize throwables are decent if you have a decently upgraded one, but the time to swap to them still feels terrible. Overall, it's apparent in my review that there were a lot of things I didnt understand about the game, like the bus having loot in it, but even with more knowlege now, it unfortunately doesn't fix a lot of the problems I stated.
@@RenegadePige yeah and again all the new points you mention are also totally fair, the GPS thing has been killing me the last few days lol
This is the worst sheepish bad take comment of all time lmao literallly just complaining to complain. You really are just a nobody with nothing of value to add to this space. Gaming youtube has really gotten bad. Go back to playing rush or something please if you think this game is actually bad (which its not your just another doom poster lol)

this game is not terrible it is one of the best games to come out for a free-to-play game story is great the storyline is good and the gun mechanics are brilliant this gameand the UI is ok and this game is still basically in early access so there is bound to be bugs and the gun system is good every single part of the map is different on the PVP in this game at least for me is good is an overall 9/10 they are putting out updates to fix bugs everyday and the missions are pretty interesting and the jumping mechanics is great
edited :this game is better than Call of Duty I understand where you're coming from but in no way is this game dog crap I will defend a statement with my life
I respect your determination! And don't worry, I have a video coming out soon about the good stuff about the game, so maybe we'll see more middle ground in that one.
@@RenegadePigeyou should try the game again because they have fixed a lot of the bugs
@@RenegadePige I understand like where you're coming from and the points but with my experience I just have to disagree
The Bus at the beginning is just a loot box avail once a day. I accidentally found out about it when I had a thought that it would be cool to ride it then I noticed he was spawning mobs and thought maybe I was not looking into it enough. then I went to its ass and found a loot crate.
Theres a setting to make it so that when you hit a hotkey it uses the item immediately without having to click to use, makes throwables much more usable. You can hold the key down too in order to aim it too.
But yeah the combat it really bad, i heard someone talk about how it's basically early access without the label. Apparently the devs were going to run out of money so they released it early. Everything I've experienced in the game definitely supports that, it really feels like a beta or early access.
OH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE NO ONE HAS TOLD ME ABOUT THIS QUICK USE FEATURE THANK YOU!!!
I don't know, ngl. The game is good, but it is the greatest. It is not the best, but it IS good. Not a shit sandwich like some other games. The AI can learn to be better but overall, most mechanics exist in a way that most games like it dream it could have. That is why it has regular updates to hotfix smaller issues. Rn they are carrying most about server capacity, and even then they still give us critical game updates. Calling it a shit sandwich is not exactly deserving. It is like me calling this review a shit sandwich because you seem to miss a lot of pretty clear details about the game (the bus, etc), which is not fair. You aren't perfect and you are actively trying. As long as the game keeps evolving in the way it is, this game is going to get in an even BETTER shape.
This Channel IS underrated
This game has a lot of potential. Really looking forward to where they take it.
Saying its terrible is a bit harsh. Is there no middle ground between good and bad any more?
CONGRATS ON COMING OUT EARLY!
I agree with everything you said. It’s the type of game I’ve been wanting to play too. That’s why I’m also addicted to it and looking past what’s wrong with it to play it. It’s definitely got a level of jank that I remind myself to forgive because it’s a free game for everything they’re aiming to accomplish. For it to be a free game it’s a huge game.
It makes me wish they would have made us pay for it so they could have at least have had enough of a budget to hire writers and voice actors. This story is so noticeably created by A.i it should’ve been called Not Human.
It definitely feels like they cut corners probably due to budget constraints but hopefully like you said with enough player support and as the game grows the’ll continue to work on it and improve it because it’s core gameplay loop is fun it just needs fine tuning.
That’s what I’m hoping for as well. Things I would also like to see after what you mentioned are fixed is for sure the story. I know it’s wishful thinking, I doubt they do it but it’s so much syfy word salad that it’s unpalatable. It’s so bad.
I also wish they would implement being able to tilt weapons left and right, take cover, slide, kick, melee and shoot while riding the motorcycle like that game road rage. That would be fantastic but again I know that’s wishful thinking on my part.
I made it about 2 hours in and uninstalled the game. I was extremely disappointed. I knew from the first boss that just stood there. I literally stood there and went….it did nothing. Maybe Elden ring ruined me but it should have at least tried to kill me.
right?? It's like they dont even care to kill you 😆
its a wandering loot crate avail once a day. not sure if its ingame days tho
@@piyokako1074 oh I wasn’t talking about the bus, I was more referring to the tutorial boss that throws bubbles at you. Like I said Elden ring might have ruined me, but it just felt so underwhelming.
Lmao everything is easy early game. Endgame NPCs would prolly kill you 🤣
you do realise the bus gives you rewards... it drops down so u can climb in it and get the chest inside
It doesn't make it much better. it's a waste of a good enemy design unfortunately
@@Kiri-ShiinaIt’s not an enemy. It’s a loot source
@@Kiri-Shiina you are wrong it's a great design
You make some good points that I agree with, but first I must point out that the bus actually does something and I'm surprised a lot of people don't know about it. When you knock the bus down, you can actually jump in it and it has a chest with some higher quality loot in it.
That being said, I do agree the gunplay doesn't feel rewarding, such as games like Destiny 2 or Division, where the gunplay actually adds elements to the game that make it feel more than just shooting a full mag into an enemy. The building is better than a lot of games I've played that include building and I feel they just need to fix some snapping issues. The enemy AI is actually terrible. I can wave away enemies being easy at the start, because you're leveling and most early game enemies are easy, but I shouldn't be able to go into a zone 10+ higher lvls than I am and just melee one swing away. The story is extremely bland and boring and I skipped a lot of the dialogue when I could. The bugs are awful and I personally had to stop playing because I was getting so many performance issues through steam, where if you actually play the game through their launcher it runs smooth, but you have to start over as character saves are not online (which is weird for an online game).
Overall I agree with your take and do not think this game will see big success unless some balance changes/core changes are implemented. However, I've already sunk 40 hours into the game and would go back if changes did happen, because the overall idea of the game is something I'd love to spend more time with.
Omg this guy again 😂 the game is great we talked about it 👀
Love ya dude ✌️
Icing on a crap-flavored cake.
Mmm mm so you're saying... This game is perfect for you. Like Reave. It's trash, but you love it, and there is nothing wrong with that.
As I'm writing this comment I've put in 66 hours into the game and am currently playing, so youre not wrong LOL
This is exactly how I feel about the game.
man i love this guys voice
I totally get a lot of the issues lol. There are a GOOD AMOUNT of things you talked about with building that aren't right, fair warning. You *can* fly and wire. Hit *L* to hide all your wires. The game itself is going to get so much harder and does so much more in later phases.
BUT - IT IS OBJECTIVELY A BAD GAME. IT JUST FEEDS THE DOPAMINE AND I LOVE IT. I hate it and love it XD. If you ever need people to play with, lemme know!
you know whats crazy is I found out you can fly and wire an hour after I posted the video, I don't know how I missed it, I swear I tried it before and it didnt work! Feel free to point out anything else I was wrong about, I might do a follow up video at some point.
@@RenegadePige Of course! So the RPGs and EXPLOSIVES are for things that open up in the next few phases, not for combat. They're there to break armor only, really. Armor and buildings. As for the gunplay and such, as you level the world level and difficulty actually gets super challenging. I'm a streamer and I've been watching some of my friends on higher phases actually have a hard time. The bosses start to get intense mechanics that if you miss them, it's a wipe. Things get a lot harder, a lot more challenging, and a LOT more fun. The first or second week are just the introduction. The first taste of challenge in the first phase is the final boss of the stage, the spider. That's the starting point for the next phase. If you can take her down easily, you're ready for the next phase!
the reviews about the season being short and wiping basically all progress is a key part of the game, when you said it wasn't part of the game at 1:32. This is some really important information that people need to know going in and is honestly imo a terrible design choice. I went in not knowing this so when I found out I was pissed (in too deep now to really quit but might after season ends). This is something that is more accepted in china and korea, however this isn't something really normal in north america.
sheesh, its u.
I don't disagree with anything you said, but I would like to add that the only servers that are available right now are (novice) servers. That is why combat is so horrible. The enemies are aloof to combat and stand still while you unload a clip. I would like to see servers with normal mode and hard mode difficulty that will be coming in later seasons.
honestly all of your comments remind of 1 thing: the devs keep making bonehead decisions again and again in this game. I love this game but than I keep hearing the bonehead decisions for seasons and your review keeps saying wtf is with these bonehead decisions. hence why I wish to play it but than I am like do I have enough time spending on a game where the devs listen to the players but than make bonehead decisions at every turn. I am playing the First Descendant and in a similar place with this game. both have good bones to their games and both listen to their playbase and both focus on getting you to pay money. sadly both are making bonehead decisions that seem to focus on making you spend money. I am not sure what is worse and dealing with two free games at the same time isn't easy. yet the bonehead potentially game breaking decisions of the devs once human puts me off. both games I am unsure at this point since both focus more on forcing you to spend money by making bonehead decisions.
This review is as trash as the game
Once yuman
Why call it trash? If you play 36 hours, then there is 0 way you really think it's "trash" also when it comes to enemies being boring. Ya, they can be, but you can say the same thing about destiny and other looter shooters. This game is basic, and that's why it's fun. Also... the only enemy in the game that does nothing is the bus, and the bus DOES do something. If you asked the chat or just idk went into it, you would find a daily chest. And got how hard stuff is? Bro, how about you try using melee weapons to idk have a more enjoyable time? The game doesn't force you to use guns. Also, enemys like zombies don't do much for Ai prob because they are literally zombies, and humans can hide and take cover, so uhm ya, they don't just "stand and shoot" also I really dont understand what you want from the gun play... it uhm it's a gun? You would HATE 75% of gun games, lmao. Also haveing a sniper in pvp is op but your complaining about the pvp being back but you just running up on Randoms and shoots, you COULD try and take cover before shooting or maybe try different weapon types on different types of players. In my opinion, everything in this game can be changed and fixed but ONLY if YOU want it to and it doesn't seem like you want to fix anything
a nonexhaustive list of some of the gun games that I have played and did not "hate", in no particular order: Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, Borderlands TPS, Tiny Tinas Borderlands, Shadow Warrior 2, Warframe, Destiny, The First Decendant, Rainbow Six Siege, Metro Last Light, Metro Exodus, Back 4 Blood, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, BLACK, Deathloop, Dishonored, Deus Ex, Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Hell Let Loose, Battlefield 2042 😁
@@RenegadePige why did you complain about gun play in this game when you like other games with the exact same features?
Seriously though, more youtube content please :). I can actually watch!
