game is amazing but i have 1 hour of gameplay for every one hour of queue time :C

This game would be so phenomenal if ONLY the "melee" grunts got an actual melee. As is the game is incredibly challenging with the deepest missions proving to be impossible without extreme skill, luck, and circumstance on your side with a team of 4 experienced players. The enemy types are diverse and engaging with the exception of the "melee" units. There are explicitly ranged enemy types that are balanced and manageable, however the units intended to physically hit you instead get a mid range (longer than your short range melee) homing tongue attack that is difficult to dodge if not outright impossible. This game would be a great survival exploration horde shooter if only the horde was tolerable. You will find yourself getting killed due to the homing mid ranged attacks sweeping around corners and them scurrying around in the darkness outside of melee reach. The melee giants as well have an even longer range, even higher damage, "melee" homing attack that can easily bring you down, with their actual melee attacks being even more lethal. The game doesn't have a difficulty system and instead opts for the "deeper" you go the harder it gets. Meaning from the jump everything will feel extremely strong and difficult. I would highly recommend this game given certain conditions:
Have at LEAST one friend to play with (recommended to have more)
Be willing to redo the same mission repeatedly sometimes to a frustrating degree
Be willing to find teammates to play with (most likely thru their discord server)
Be extremely patient and cautious
Willingness to commit 40+ minutes to certain runs.

This game is a very atmospheric and beautiful game that has a unique game play loop, it has a very intriguing story (which is tied to each mission meaning some story parts will be out of reach), and super fun and engaging weapon and melee mechanics and systems. The aesthetic, UI, and feel of the game is top notch. A constant and consistent stream of new content to enjoy. Given the correct balancing and tuning, a super reliable and consistent game to enjoy. AS IS:PLEASE PLAY BELOW 2 HOURS TO REFUND IF UNHAPPY, there is a very significant risk that that may be the case and 2 hours should be enough to get a very rough feel of how the game feels even at later stages.

I would fight a bear, crawl through glass, and drink a forbidden brew i found in an alleyway trashcan if it meant i could live the life dave does.

Theres a grub fella that is adorable and u can collect them. Also theres crafting and stuff too. The game is pretty solid and i'm certain will get even better with time. Currently a solid 7/10 or higher, def worth a try

My brain is a blob of goo after trying to figure out what is going on. Still not finished but game is very good.

This game is so unfathomably not worth 60. Just go get something else or wait for a big sale. The balance team is on crack, the game's playerbase is just full of degenerates popping off for a character's crouch animation. If you REALLY cant consider getting anything but guilty gear, get Xrd. Playing this game is a digitized version of getting beaten by my step father. The most enjoyable part of this game is when you're staring blankly at your screen while it spends the next 5 minutes communicating with the server, as you cope with crippling depression and regret that you are spending some of the few moments youre given on earth playing this at 1 am. When it comes to gameplay, its fantastic! You have such enjoyable things such as the 100 ping sol on the same server as you with 10 rollback frames. When it comes to matchups they vary between levels of distaste due to the players insisting they will be as much as a mouth breathing loser as their character allows, such as spamming skyfish on Gold Lewis whenever youre remotely near death. The colorful array of characters youll get to know are the following:
Sol - The guy they refuse to nerf and does 70% of your HP in one combo. He is so unimaginably FUN AND COOL.
Ky - The character that everyone insists is honest but they spend 40% of the game spamming ranged thunder attacks at low hp and then the other 60% doing the same combo.
Nagoriyuki - Dont even know how his name is spelled, but he presses the same 4 hit combo until the world freezes over from nuclear winter.
May - Literally does dolphin and nothing else. Her use of sea creatures will make you no longer feel bad they are suffering due to the endless amount of human pollution and waste, thanks Arc System Works!
Zato - Shadow man who is cool I guess. As fun defending yourself from in the corner as it is being an 11 year old child trying to run from the full power of the US military.
Faust - The guy who literally combos himself, does no damage, and is absolutely refused to be buffed by the awesome devs. Love this man.
Jack-O - The one the community endlessly is obsessed over, shes as cool as your uncle who you havent seen in 4 years due to being imprisoned for money laundering.
Gold Lewis - he is cool until you play the first guy who plays him, where you will have fun until this man is holding down the skyfish input for dear life the second your HP is at sub 25%.
Chipp - Monkey creature that is exponentially faster than you and has yet to determine what fun means.
Milia - Chipp but air.
I-no - Crazy witch that does the same ground spike move until an unstoppable force is able to beat an immovable object.
Ramlethal - Swamp creatures play this character, I refuse to believe any actual human being plays this person and enjoys doing the same combo. They subsist off of removing any semblance of happiness from anyone they meet.
Axl - He is british and thefore pond scum.
Potemkin - Anyone who plays him is a sadist. He is a flesh monster that refuses to take damage and their players are crack addicts that go for months without sustenance just for the 2 second hit of dopamine from landing one grab.
Leo - Monkey creature that also does the same combo until the end of time. As fun to play against as it is getting shot by 4 airsoft guns point blank on bare skin.
Giovanna - The living proof that the infinite ape theorem is actually realistic. They can kick and that is it. You will see nothing else, and only one combo from them. Blocking them is red light green light if youre colorblind.
Anji mito - Dumb little man baby who needs to find some clothes.

If you do get this game, you will find it hard to imagine that the people who are in online lobbies are not some moth creature being given a set of sticks.

Good story, havent finished it yet, but the characters are cool, game look good, but it do be buggy so ;/

U smack big boys in the cheeks, pretty pog

I have loved this game. It’s atmosphere is fantastic, it looks beautiful, and it plays super smooth. The game is scary (as to be expected) but it’s very forgiving on normal game modes. The bosses can be a bit tedious, but are still pretty good. Both the Claire and Leon playthroughs of A/B are enjoyable experiences each. The games has some comedic features to it in how campy the dialogue is (on purpose). The main danger, “Mr.X” is a really good tool in the game to function as a “timer” of sorts to push you into further areas. He is very forgiving to play against and it’s quite easy to avoid alone. Definitely pickup if you don’t mind spooks and wish to play a somewhat short (6-9 hours per play through) but clean and enjoyable game.
