This game feels great, there is a lot of fun to be had for such a cheap price and runs great.
Some of the highlights for me are the AI, they are super cool and have the same feel as FEAR making you think they're alive and smart. Been playing on hard and having a lot of fun for the most part. The Cheats are super cool additions to add even more replay value, I just wish they were easier to unlock.

I have my gripes though.
The non humanoid boss fights are some worst things I've ever played. I might just hate boss fights but of the 4 I've played they're all awful feeling (Mothman, Golem, Helicoper and the Sub). Like seriously, what the hell? Why are they so bad? They have cool ideas for all of them but they play terrible.
The ammo pools feel too low for how inaccurate most of the guns are.
The SMG, the ARs, and the base minigun feel worthless to use. They are hopelessly inaccurate at any range past what the shotgun is good for.

Only things I could possibly ask for are a weapon accuracy slider cheat for the player and a way to skip boss fights that I've already done.

We did it. 10/10 Game. Time to be the GOAT!!!

Before I say anything, I'm still having fun. Mainly thanks to mods and building ships, but still having fun.

Don't get your hopes up for this title though.
Not modded this game is a 5/10
There is nothing special here. There is nothing with depth, no consequences, very little choice, barely any exploration, very little variety. I could go on with how shallow this game is in every possible sense. I could ramble on and on about how many systems are bare bones and half assed. The stories and characters are nothing special. It's loot system feels like an overall downgrade from Fallout 4. I have little to no faith that Bethesda will turn around and flesh out the game like Hello Games did with No Mans sky.

That said, if you know the Bethesda formula, this is radiant quests the game. The main and side quests have little to no love or detail put into them. So if you can have fun with the basic combat system, the simple ship builder, the outpost building, the what feels like 20 radiant locations to explore repeated across 600 planets. This game might have some time to burn for you.

Garbage program doesn't even work on Windows 11.

Tried the safe mode fix, and still nothing.
Thanks Activision.

The game is in a great place now everyone says. Maybe on the technical side I guess.
I personally just hate the balance.

It's still not battlefield, and now it's an even worse 2042. I liked the freedom of picking an operator and ANY 1 gadget to compliment the forced one. That allowed me to pick the operator for what I wanted to accomplish and a gadget to compliment whatever I needed.

Now, you still are forced to pick an operator with their accompanying forced gadget, and your choice gadget is restricted to each "class". So the freedom is gone, but we still have the operator restrictions. (Oh but you get a worthless class gadget and weapon proficiency.)

Before it felt like everyone was running around doing whatever they wanted with no cooperation, which was bad as a battlefield, but it worked fine enough on it's own.

Now with the classes, it feels exactly the same with loads of restrictions and vehicles that never die if they're above average because no one wants to play engineer. Teamplay is too much to ask from randoms.

List of random complaints.
For the love of god nerf the stealth helicopter. It taking any damage should take it out of stealth. How can it stealth through being laser designated? It should not be immure to the spotter scope.
Remove weapon/ vehicle progression restrictions against bots in portal. I just want to grind attachments against bots in custom games I create, I prefer bots over online play.
Customizable weapon sight reticles would be very appreciated.
Please add some of the 2042 attachments to the portal weapons, would be great for variety and fun.

Short but very sweet. Fantastic 9/10
I 100% it in about 5ish hours.

No I'm not tearing up. Shut up!

The base game here is fantastic, there is a lot of passion behind it. With a big BUT
The game needs a lot of tuning, polish, and some more explanations.

The Good:
The 40k theme is fantastic here, amazing aesthetic and soundtrack. You can easily waste time just looking around the environments. The ways to move around and blast stuff is very satisfying. A good few different guns and ways to customize them to your liking. Long range, close range, melee, and explosive possibilities.

Personally, I had no technical issues. FPS was solid with no dips, and no crashes.
I have a very overkill PC though, so check other reviews.
I only had a few in game glitches. Stuff like enemies not moving, gun sights being misaligned to where the bullets were going, and one soft lock where I got stuck in a wall after using a stim.

What needs work.

Playing most of it through on easy, enemies are a very odd difficulty. Either being easy kills or oddly bullet spongy while looking the same or with very minor differences.

A few missions in they introduce elemental damage.
I still have no idea what elements do. Stats just say they add damage on guns and loot just says resistances?
Fire, Electric, Toxic, Radiation. You and the enemies get them. How each interacts with each other, what the different color enemies mean, all never explained. So have fun figuring it out.

Finishers / Executions are very jank. In function and gameplay. It wants to be like Doom.
There is no way to tell if enemies are open to be finished so you just have to run up and guess. The animations break and just look very rushed. Finishing the Ambots with a punch is just stupid.

Side missions end the same instant you finish the objective. So you don't get any time to collect loot on more hectic missions.

There's really no endgame or worth while loot to chase, no unique / special weapons or armor. There are drip fed upgrades. But you're only going to keep playing this game if you enjoy the action it provides.

Why can't we replace the default pistol? It becomes worthless very quickly and wastes a slot. I get it, you use it in finishers and it's the signature gun, but at least let me swap it out with a higher tier one.

And finally, you can rename your guns but not your Dog???

Fantastic game. Fantastic gameplay.
Super fun all around.

I just cannot support their terrible weapon DLC practices.
$10 for one, or $15 for 2 when they release new gameplay changing weapons.
No thanks. Not paying half the price of the game for two weapons.
Which is a damn shame. My friends and I would both play this game more often if the weapons were free.

[Edit]
Season pass, much better for the money. Thank you!

Probably the 2nd best soda drinking simulator ever on Steam.
10/10

Meme aside, amazing explorer builder. Tons of content, mods make it even better. Almost unlimited planets to explore.

PROs

Fun game, variety of objectives. Lots to do. Better with friends. Tons of different ways to aproach objectives.
Interesting story. Nice to shoot at someone that isn't a muslim terrorist in the middle east or a russian specialist.
Customization is nice on your character, but not as deep as it makes it look for the weapons.

Great game for just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with friends.

CONs

Game is terribly optimized. There are tons of different issues. Loading speed even on SSDs, rendering the enviroment, enimies will spawn in around you well after you've started the mission.

DO NOT BUY THE DLC IF YOU WANT TO EXPAND YOUR HIGH END CHARACTER
Fallen Ghosts is a fun mission pack, but it adds NOTHING to the base game. You get none of the guns, none of the new skills, none of the new enemy types. Nothing. It's basically a seperate game. You don't get to use your existing character, you make a new one that is already level 30 with all the skills from the base game.
