Early Access Review
Is this the new WoW killer? FFXIV Killer? Ashes of Creation Killer? Do I know if this game will stick around and become the greatest MMO ever? No, I don't. I don't think it stands a chance to hold up to other Monolithic MMO's in popularity.

**BUT**

For $40... you will get the same intensely social interactions with fellow players as we did back during Y2K. This game brings with it the same game play dynamics that forced us to ask a random player for help an LFG in town. There is something outrageously special about needing to form a group, fight in to a dungeon, find a camp then grind together underground for hours. All of this being done whilst laughing, crying, arguing then ultimately... Triumphing with the BOIS!! and progressing... TOGETHER.

Pantheon is reminiscent of when games were more about the game-play itself, the interactions with each other and as much entertainment as you want to gain from it.

11 years of development shows unprecedented dedication imho. Even after constantly hitting road block after road block and almost running out of funding. Early access is equivalent to alpha. The only difference is vocabulary. In both instances, you are paying to play the game, provide feedback, pray they listen and ultimately look forward to a full and complete launch of the game.

I would avoid taking the reviews serious in which people claim that early access is a "Scam". Early access, for better or for worse, is just a typical way to develop games nowadays. It's also not inherently negative. Early access allows interested parties to buy into the game allowing it to remain self published and independent.

The LAST thing we want, is EA or Ubisoft getting involved in the development of ANY games you want to see succeed.


Just my 2 cents <3 Hope it helps.

I can always count on Stellaris being a good time.

No matter how much time passes between play throughs...there always seems to be huge content updates and expansion launching for this game.

I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone that is a fan of Grand Strategy and I would also recommend to someone that is looking for a good entry point to the genre.

I cannot stand behind smile gate enough while writing this review. I think the whining about servers being overloaded or people not being able to play with their friends is feedback coming from what seems to be an immense sense of entitlement.

I, personally, would much rather wait in queues or not be able to play with friends right away opposed to instable servers and an unfinished product. To some extent I think it's highly selfish of us as gamers to expect these companies to chill out millions on servers that may only get used for the first week or two. Changes at that level take money and time to implement as well as actual data.

Not only did the server queue times and character creation locks last less than 24 hours... Smilegate made right by compensating us in more than one way.

This cancel culture and review bomb culture is getting way out of hand. I don't think these people realize how important reviews are to keeping new people enjoying our online communities.

I 100% recommend this game for free and doubt you will feel like you wasted your time. If you like Diablo or path of exile, play it. If you like world of Warcraft, EverQuest, eso or Final Fantasy 14.... Play it!

While it may not be for everyone, I think 1 million concurrent players for over a week now.

If you are reading this and have played the game, please spread the word and advise your friends and family to leave a quick review for this game to reflect the time they have spent grinding for the arks thus far!

TLDR: It's much easier to tell game developers what they should or should not do when you're not a video game developer! Smh....

Early Access Review
Wow, this is a lot of fun in any matchmaking mode available! It puts a very nice spin on the MOBA and BR genres by innovating ways to make it both new AND familiar.

The main learning curve here will be the items needed to craft the best items for your builds.

I recommend picking a popular recommended build upvoted by the community to begin with. This can be selected before joining a match after being paired with a team!

I was excited for Diablo 2 Resurrected until I revisited PoE. Now Diablo 2, 3 and 4 seem like a waste of time.

Haters gon hate but 10/10 o7

Early Access Review
This game is too much fun with friends! Gunfire is a great pickup co-op game that is both casual and challenging at the same time. Solid progression and unlock systems have provided plenty replay ability thus far at ~15 Hours of game play. Full disclosure, I have primarily only played this game with friends and have not played too much solo although matchmaking works just fine when we need to fill a spot or two.

It gets harder until it gets easier, and then it gets harder again.

10/10 I fully recommend you to support the communist party of China with a small contribution of only ~77.84 Yuan,

This is the best casual co-op/pvp game I have played in a long, long time. There is nothing like taking to the open seas with a crew made of friends, family or complete strangers. The shenanigans that ensue will never cease to amaze!

I feel like even with how easy the game is, there is definitely a skill here that is to be honed in order to become a ruthless pirate or a trader that is not to be messed with ruling the open seas.

The cosmetic system in game is extensive as well and is enough to keep you wanting to stay on the grind for a good time with a crew!

9.5/10

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

This game is simply amazing. HOTAS not required but is strongly recommended.

Community driven progression and encouraging team play go a long way to assisting in immersion.

You can:
Be the best Starfighter Pilot out there.
Be a space tour bus driver.
Mine different types of asteroid belts/rings all around the galaxy.
OR
Be the space equivalent of Marco Polo

When you feel you have done everything, continue to explore the seemingly endless amount of space in a 1:1 Scale of our Milky Way galaxy.

Amazing game. Well balanced and provides a well engineered AI. This makes practicing with bots or just playing a solo season a unique experience everytime! Excited to see Rocket Leagues' future in e-sports.
