This game is too fun.
It's cooperative, incredibly well-designed. It looks great. It sounds great. It's grounded, the Eagles and Orbital Destroyers are there, you see them.
Everything has a physical weight appropriate for what it is.
There's an overarching story by a Game Master that directs progression of how the world changes, what the focus of the community is, it unlocks new perks for everyone. But most importantly it creates a sense of community and shared goals.
The game is extremely light-hearted and somehow still takes itself seriously. I don't know how they do it.
Playing the game you feel like a maniac on the battlefield. There's just so much to it.
Enemy AI is dumb, but when hordes of enemies with different mechanics and weak spots swarm you, there's quite a bit of thought you have to put it, alongside reflexes and being mindful of your surroundings, your teammates, your ammo, your strategems, your team's shared resources etc etc. It's always incredibly engaging and the skill ceiling is truly quite high.
Being familiar with the tools at your disposal is vital to surviving in higher difficulties and adapting your loadout to the situation at hand. The game is beautifully balanced so that no loadout is truly good at everything.
The game has been buggy for me in general, which is a bit unfortunate. But on a technical level is game is still incredibly well-made. I love the little details like how every player's actions in the destroyer when prepping up for a mission are sent out to all the other players, so they can see the galactic map and what the host is looking at.
In terms of technical issues there are some enduring frustrations for me after having played for 100+ hours. I think my biggest pet peeves are the sense that sometimes pressing reload or using a Stim seem like just a suggestion to the game rather than a critical input not to be missed. It could be networking related, but man is it ever annoying to die when your health isn't where you expect it.
In general though, these issues pale in comparison to the glory of this gaming experience. It is simply just too damn fun to play.
Could not sing this game's praises more. Arrowhead, you beautiful bastards. Please keep at it, you've struck gold.

This game is brilliant. Pure skill and combat tactics. Skill ceiling is unbelievably high and yet anyone can jump in. Combat is extremely satisfying.
The game's content and game modes aren't its strong points, but to me the lack of diversity is more than compensated by the visceral frantic combat.
This game to me is a shining example of just how central the game's mechanics are prolonged enjoyment of a game.
Absolutely would recommend to anyone enjoying a fast paced responsive and polished experience.

This game is SO well made, just a tad buggy and very deserted. I enjoyed it a ton, but just can't play it anymore because it's pretty much dead.

I wish the developers would do something to breath new life into this game. It's so severely underrated. Make it Free to Play or something. Fix ♥♥♥♥. Come on!
