Unfortunately, this game is not what it used to be. I wish I could go back in time and play the original version, reliving the days of fun spent on it. You had to be there to really grasp the magic and essence of the fun of the good old days. Today, it is a mere shadow of what it once was, an eerie reflection of the vibrant and dynamic experience it once offered.

I played every night with friends, creating unforgettable memories and bonding over shared victories and defeats. It wasn't just a game, it was a valuable part of my routine, a source of joy that offered an escape from daily life. Those were the days when the community thrived and we looked forward to every update and meta changes.

The nostalgia of remembering those good times gone by in this game is bittersweet, for the current reality reveals a state of decline. The game, once a beacon of entertainment, now languishes in poor condition, plagued by problems that have eroded its appeal. Chilling monetization, a succession of poor choices, have led to a gradual deterioration of something that once mattered so much.

Despite the changes, the memories of the vibrant virtual world and the good thoughts it fostered will forever remain etched in my mind, a testament to the golden era that once was.

My personal Game of the Year 2020. It's an innovative title, with a twisted formula that has never been seen on a multiplayer game yet. A very high replayability, hilarious, insanely fun, colorful, joyful, cute as heck, with dozens of costumes to unlock. Every match is different and once you start to get the hang of it, it's very hard to stop playing. An absolute hit that deserves all the success it is currently having.

A very fun Battle Royale with a top-down perspective featuring cute and deadly critters of various species. The matches are fast-paced and are quite short, with a good variety of weapons and mechanics, and with a big map full of secrets and different biomes. This game gets constantly updated with special events, new animal species to unlock and collect, without any kind of microtransations. Plus there's a free version which you can play for how much you want with very little limitations. The community is welcoming and friendly, and you should definitely give it a try!

Fun, addicting, cheap and very replayable. Everything you need to enjoy some good time in a co-op adventure it's bundled here. Hoping to see even more features added as the game continues to grow in the future.

At the current state this game is not what I was hoping for. It feels very rushed. After a couple of matches I liked it at first, but later on, I noticed many problems this game has. First, the netcode is very poor, hits don't always register when you try to shoot an enemy player or neutral monsters, the interface is very confusing, especially the minimap, which I always struggle to find where I am and where teammates are. Some characters have very buggy abilities, like Shakirri when she uses the pistol, the camera pans up automatically and it locks the movement, making it almost impossible to aim properly. Since it's a competitive game, communication is key to victory. This game lacks both text chat and voice chat, the only communication method is by pings which are not so intuitive to use and it's hard to focus on during combats. The only thing I like of this game are character designs which are very cool. Unfortunately I can't currently recommend this game, it's not fun at all and it's very frustrating to play with all these issues. Hoping the devs will polish the game before it's too late.

When a SINGLE developer can create a better game than an entire AAA studio.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance > The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Change my mind.

An excellent card game, flawed by a terrible monetization scheme. The gameplay and the mechanics are really good, which adds a breathe of fresh air to the genre, and the overall experience of the game itself. But the shady microtransaction practices prevent me to recommend it. The price of the purchase is not enough to fully enjoy it. You will need to spend more money to stay competitive, otherwise you'll be bound to the Draft Mode which at the moment doesn't have any progression system whatsoever, and doesn't allow to earn free cards. In fact, you can't earn free cards at all. Other similar games have login bonuses, dailies, weeklys, and many more mechanics to stay somewhat competitive even without paying anything more. With your purchase, only half of the game is available to you without paying more money. And this for me, is unacceptable. Unless something changes, at the moment, I don't recommend playing this game at all.

The game itself it's nice, for the little gameplay I experienced. Avoid this game until they solve their massive issues with their servers. Crashes, queues and lags for a terrible 2-day headstart experience.

UPDATE: Server issues should be now solved, only because the population has drastically decreased. This has been caused by poor management of the community team, with many miscomunications, lack of content and updates, and an overall mediocre gameplay execution.

Play something else. Avoid this game.

UPDATE 2: The population has decreased even further once more. They dropped the price of the game in hope to attract more players but that didn't work out. They keep releasing "community updates" videos on their YouTube channel when they're struggling to have one. Did I mention that this game has a rampant cheating problem, and that cheats can be enabled by simply modifying an .ini file in the game's folder? And that PvP is enabled only in very specific time-frames of the day and most of the time people can't find any matches due to low population?

If "disaster" could have a name, it would be Bless Online.

UPDATE 3: The devs announced an enhanced port of the game, due to be released as a free to play title for the Xbox One in 2019. The development team has been shrunk to just 5 (!) people as a consequence. It is still unclear if Bless Online will eventually shut down for good now. This game is slowly becoming a scam.

UPDATE 4: The devs announced that the Early Access period will end on October 23rd, which will make the game fully free to play, despite saying that the game would have been forever buy to play in the first place, and quoting that they "Can't wait to show improvements and content they have been working on for the launch." (Still two missing classes from the Korean version, which in the meantime has been shut down).

The current pupulation has declined to just 500 people in the peak hours, which currently represents the true state of the game. Do yourself a favor and don't play this when it goes free to play. IT IS NOT WORTH IT.
