Bio
I'm pretty generous with scores. I'll still give a five if it's good enough I just don't care about the flaws. I'll still give a two even if it's a game I despise because I can see its merits and strengths. I delve a lot in my personal experiences with games and what I get out rather than technical overviews. If you want to see my metric for what a real bad game is, see my half stars. I'm harsh to the two stars because they had potential.

Here me out. I love democracy as much as the next guy, but this game has some serious stability issues. The number of not only game crashes, but computer crashes that this game has made me endure is genuinely concerning.
When the game does let you play it though, damn. It's surprising how well the first game was translated over to 3D (I know the first game was in 3D, I mean control wise). There are certainly things I miss, like how sniper rifles worked in a 2D plane, but its often things specific to the format, which to an extent does keep the old game from being made obsolete, like the Risk of Rain games.
In conclusion, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it, I'm going to go back to playing my favourite rhythm game.

Great little time waster. It struggles a little when it comes to depth in agency, I feel the game is a little too random at times, with the main choice you have being rerolling the shop to hope for options that better suit your strategy. Perhaps a mode with some greater choice with the starting roster would be fun but I don't know how balanced that would be. What other modes are there right now are great though, with extra mechanics for the harder difficulties that I'm sure are made knowing that a lot of people wouldn't even bother play with. It's a fun time that needs a little work.
I may redact this review when I have the time to really sit down and think about it, but as it stands, this is my favourite game that I can't play.
It keeps crashing, disconnecting, or worse, softlocking. I played during a free weekend a couple years ago, and it was more stable back then. The constant restructuring and content additions just make this game a mess. I remember being so engrossed in the first few hours of just reading the lore logs and timing melee kills with my friends, until it was ruined by a softlock.
Now all those logs seem to be gone and in the past few sessions (each that ended in some kind of crash), I have found one log that relates to nothing I've previously read.
Genuinely, if it got itself together, it could be in my top few games of all time.
