Wow, that’s a lot of pandering to Sony in that article. The author obviously doesn’t want to say what the game actually is like for fear of being negative and losing company-wide access to Sony game review copies.
The game isn’t bad, but I am hesitant to call it good
Just say it. I will say it, because I don’t care about losing access to Sony review copies:
The game is bad. Its not fun, it’s in an oversaturated market, the character designs are pretty ugly, the whole game is uninspired. Its like a bootleg Guardians of the Galaxy for its character design and bootleg mobile Overwatch for the gameplay. It does nothing to actually improve on the hero shooter gameplay that has existed for 10+ years.
Perhaps if the game came out like 8 or 10 years ago and had actually good looking character designs it maybe could have been successful. Maybe. But as it stands there is no reason to play this instead of already existing hero shooters like Overwatch and Paladins.
EDIT: It also really doesn’t help when the developers call people that criticize the game “talentless freaks.”
