Honestly, im not a fan i gave it some time im prob still gonna go thru again with mage but over all. this isn't the Dragon age i know or was expecting, Terrible romance quest lines awkward flirting that feels like it would be a case stiudy. Then they force identity politics into the games narrative n they don't even do it well the writing for it feels forced and awkward. The char design is pretty poor in contrast to the npcs personalities. The combat is spose to be action but it has animation locking and animation delay which ruins it for me. No matter how you wanna split it they are body discriminating against women with breast bigger then B cups The whole thing screams of someone being insecure bout their own body n taking it out on the game . The Flat and vanilla Companion interactions leave me more irritated and wanting them to stfu more then anything.

The romance and flirting dialogue feels like it was written by a religious prudish virgin who has never had a romantic experience in their life and the one compan who does get the "spiciest romance is the binary person who almost nobody wants to romance to begin with and is pretty much a walking Sexual harrasment case with teen angst mixed in. This whole game is a long ass cry from what Bioware used to be. i use to look forward to spending 40+ hours in a Bioware RPG but now i just can't bring my self to even wanna finish it again for the other side, This has me worried for the future of Bioware and it's once epic legacy it once had.

i played when it first launched and it was ok but now you are forced to boost to lvl 40 you have no choice in it which i found incredibly stupid. ill pass on this one

It's basically Korean Warframe with sex appeal. Down to the core now there's nothing wrong with that as it's not anywhere near as overwhelming as Warframe is. now i do not suggest this game if you do not have a static or consistant group of friends to play with as the endgame gets very team work related and by the time you get to the devourer boss the game becomes a mechanic hvy DPS check fest and your entire progress story and all becomes gated behind these annoying ass bosses.

Also their farming system is set up to encourage you to buy the chara rather then farm them out due to them having such low % drop rates and how tedious it becomes.

So. i've been playing hard since launch and it was my first attempt At it. Now the game is fun BUT the pvp rules and how it is actually run. The game is best played with a duo because the way the pvp works is it's fun in theory but in practice it's pretyy ♥♥♥♥♥ awful and just ends up being the typical toxic ego fest that loot open world pvp games end up turning into. The only thing you can really do in this is PVE because gl finding a Server fresh for PVP where you won't get butt handled and dog pilled. It's a fun game for likea couple of weeks then it's like ok....

It's severaly un optimiZed but it's still decent game with lots of stuff to do easily spend 60- hours

goodege

I found this randomly, thought the theme was cool but once you get into the game

It's just basically a lazy Quick FPS gacha cash grab. There are so many signs just with playing the story for the first hour you can tell how lil effort they put into this

!8 hours in and i think i finished the "main story"

Pros
Good Combat/gunplay
Good voice acting great dialogue
Great traversal
Somewhat rewarding loot system
Bosses aren't obnoxiously spongey least where im at
Interesting Squad mechanics the AI teammates aren't actually useless

Cons
There is allot going on with the ui with Specifical effects etc via skill enhancements talent perks and during combat i can see how it can get overwhelming for allot of ppl. The overload of Effects Makes it look like im in a rave 24/7 I hope in the future they tone down on the Effects on screen so it's easier to keep track of things

The mission types do gert incredibly repetitive for a game that was delayed what twice? and for a live service game i think there should be more variety n i saeriously hope they don't continue the same type of missions going forward or it will be very boring

There were some mission affixes that were obnoxious af like you can only do dmg with crit hits n any other kind of dmg heals them. I found this incredibly obnoxious personally because i didnt have a way topp guarentee crit so it just seemed incredibly pointless to do missions with that. As i get into the endgae grind i will prob revise my review once i hit like 40+ hours but for now im happy with my purchase

I edited this to reflect the Season 1 update. Unfortunately it doesn't look like this game is going to go far as they can't seem to hit the ball with the content it's just recycled bandaided annoying bland looping if only the content could be as good as the cosmetics.

Great game can't wait to see what the game holds for the future all i know is Robbie better keep up that quality of Og skins and gimme my phoenix iggy skin Y OU HEARD ME ROBBIE

The one thing i will give them credit for is using original VA and trying something new but thT'S IT. The game is re using old assets from the fighting game which makes them look janky, The seems like it's trying to coast on the IP to cover up allot of the bad game design choices.

One being grapples , shouldn't be a thing in BR, the game is spose to be a casual br yet the grind to unlock anything is that of a Hardcore BR. There's allot of grievous imbalances pertaining to chars and mechanics it honestly feels P2W because some chars are just flat out broken
