Haven't played this since it came out in 2017, and even then, it was mid. Today it's mid for the opposite reason. Back then it was because the game was too shallow and too simplistic for me (which is why i prefer something like Naraka over it) but today it's because there is too much going on. Too many modes, too many weird obtuse menus, and too much visual clutter for me.

The two major negatives in my shock were the UI design and the performance. On a 7800XT and a 5800x I struggled to hit a consistent 40 on the "recommended settings" so i turned off the overbearing lighting and the... MAX SUPER RESOLUTION, that I definitely did not want. I can now hit a solid 144 with lower high settings, but it's a shock I had any issues at all in the performance department, utter shock. However, the UI is horrendous. The main menus are fine, if very gross, but the in-game UI is really confusing and all over-the-place. The screen is cluttered with needless asymmetry in it's placement of important information (such as inventory and currency) and else wise the design is good, but just having too much extraneous information that did more to annoy and visually harass me than give me worthwhile information. The balance also needs to be... fixed, badly. However, everything else screamed F2P battle royale down to the tiniest element. I just wish they were more forthcoming about how the things in the game operate, otherwise, it's just normal brainrot.
