This may be the greatest game I've ever played, and this is coming from someone who loved peak Fortnite and Warzone.
It's an amazing battle royale experience. The gameplay is fun, action packed, competitive, and perfectly balanced. I'll just start listing off all the things I love about it.
- Unlike other battle royale games, a match only takes about 8-10 minutes, so you can play dozens of games over the course of a few hours. You don't have to get invested in a 30 minute battle royale game only to die off quickly.
- The game mechanics are simple and easy to learn.
- You don't have to struggle to find health, shield, weapons or ammo.
- There is no one weapon that is significantly more powerful than others. It allows the player to use the combination of weapons they prefer for their strategy and skillset.
- The combat itself is very fun and rewarding.
- It is an RNG based game, but the way its structured does not feel like you ever have to rely on RNG with how balanced it is.
- The map is a great size, not too big nor too small. You can always find players if you want to engage in combat, or avoid players in the early game if you want to try and avoid combat. Each location is fun and unique.
- There is no pay to win features, only cosmetics.
- The cosmetics are designed really well and look awesome.
- It allows for console only gameplay which really helps with the disadvantages of playing against keyboard and mouse players.
- You can play solo, duos, or four player squads, and all of these game modes are fun.
If I had to pick a minor critique, the leveling system is very slow, and the daily/weekly challenges are repetitive. It will take several years to reach max level. I wish the xp system was revised and put a higher emphasis on eliminations. They also cycle the same challenges over and over. I wish they would come up with some new ones, and wish they would make some harder ones that reward more xp for competitive players.
Overall, this is such an amazing game, and I can't thank the developers enough for all the work they put into it. As I got older, I really just lost interest in gaming, but this game brought me back to it. At the time of this review, I've been playing for about 2 years and play almost every day. I wish more people knew about it, because I really think it could be the next big game.
