This game is not for the simple minded or those with weak resolve.

I played this game for a ton of hours in the Saturday beta tests before release, and I honestly can say it is one of the best FPS games released in a long time. It was developed by 3 people IIRC, but outperforms AAA game devs. The monetization is almost non-existent aside from the $15 price tag. This game prioritizes fun first and delivers. You can clearly tell with the attention to detail that this game is a labor of love.

Features I love:
- Snappy and responsive mechanics
- Functional magazines instead of a traditional ammo reserve
- Building cover, Destroying cover
- Movement has a high skill cap
- Dragging downed players
- Vehicles are fun to play as and against

Features I dislike:
- Medic is too fast, and good players can abuse the insane movement speed to become incredibly unfun to play against
---- Because of this, many players will play medic only for selfish reasons
- Recon is not fun to play against
- Packet loss due to server strain, but this will be fixed quickly
- Bipod is useless for support weapons and only makes the weapons worse.

Most of the negative reviews for this game are just people that are mad that the 2 puzzle difficulties are too easy and too hard with no in between. The problem is that these people aren't good at the game, and are blaming the game for their lack of skill. If you play the easy puzzles you aren't gonna get better at the hard ones, and if you quit every hard puzzle that you don't understand, you wont get better at the hard ones.

tl;dr get good, you can beat every puzzle with logical deductions and no guessing, so you have no one to blame but yourself.

This game is well worth the price, but could benefit from a free to play model.
This game is insanely fun. It is hilarious and tense, with something for everyone. It is a game with a clear identity and there is not much disconnect between the casual and hardcore players. It's a goofy spy game. You place banana on the ground and people slip on it. You can set meticulous traps or run and gun, and either will work! The player interaction is hilarious, even in pubs with complete strangers, everyone is here to play the game and have fun.

10/10

BING CHILLING

Easily the best rogue-lite I've ever played. Near endless replayability. High skill ceiling. Great artstyle. easy to run on most devices (provided you dont break the game too hard). Incredibly rewarding.

The banwave was a good start, but I will change my review if the bots become a problem again.
Thank you valve.
