My TL review: combat felt weak, unengaging, choppy at times, unresponsive at times and the hybrid action/tab target was awkward. From what I saw, lvling pass, battle pass and early access would be a must to keep up with the best players so that's probably something around $100ish maybe which is fine by me... for a good game. (Sub based models of $70 for a game plus $15 for a sub is close enough that I wouldn't mind a $100 one time thing) This game doesn't meet the "good game" qualifier for this cost. For being unreal engine 4, the game looks pretty good. New skill system that should be in on release seems to make the skills look better too. There are almost 0 dopamine bursts. Nothing feels good when you get it. Items aren't memorable at all. Upgrade system feels like "just hit upgrade till you run out of mats or it's max" Very boring and lacks personality. Everyone ends up almost all the same. Id much prefer a system like elyon that requires some luck and risk/Reward to set you out from the pack Item drops from mobs and even bosses are the same way, boring mat drops and maybe a rare drop weapon with an effect on it one day. Somewhat concerning that player count peaked at only ~65k before a very abrupt drop off to ~35k less than 24hrs in and tapering off below 20k by today. The numbers themselves aren't as important as the initial drop. Ppl who take the time to play a beta and then quit that fast is just something to think about. KR has already done server merges if my information is correct also. Most important: The game just doesn't *play* that great. Nothing feels buttery smooth. Nothing feels impactful, combat is bland and doesn't flow very well, mobs are bland, fighting multiple targets feels very awkward Progression feels bad and almost trivial. 35 menu options in the main menu feels somewhat overwhelming. Red dots everywhere saying you need to look at something new to click, claim or merely hover over feels very mobile and cluttered. random systems like grappling hook and world tree passive heal just seem totally random and uninteresting. If absolutely nothing else new has released, I may play the game bare bones free mode, but def not spending $1. Scarcity of new games is the sole reason anyone would play this in a serious fashion in my opinion. A decent "filler MMO" till something better comes along, then, forgotten.
