I've been playing since the beta and coming back it's still been frustrating but it's also still been fun
Let's talk about pros:
Many ships with very differing styles of gameplay
Anime collabs (I like anime so it's a pro for me)
Rewarding for skill (nothings better than using that big brain to defeat opponents)
Theres not as much pay to win as there was before
Decent graphics
Cons:
Very team oriented game (if you dont have buddies playing with you it's hard to find some joy, plus being stuck with randoms can get real frustrating)
Free to play, pay for content (you can play the game for free, rank up and get ships for free, but if you want any sort of cool content or grind faster, be prepared to spend an unjustifiable amount of money)
Cheezy ships (this kind of contradicts rewarding for skill, and of course not all games are balanced perfectly, but there are some pretty cheesy ships that can ruin your time)
Needs good computer to run good graphics ofc
Like I said, I still think this game is fun, their collabs do some sort of justice (but I'm pissed about how much money they milk from their players), but be warned that they do still want money and their game still isnt as super balanced (as is all games tho)
