I'm doing my part.

Okay. Sorry in advance, I have a lot to say.

Price point: 70.00 seems to be the new standard for AAA games. I'm not happy about it, but it is what it is. If this is a deterrent for you, wait for the game to go on sale. It may be a while, but it's worth the wait. Even more worth it, perhaps, when the fix the...

Optimization Issues: To clarify, my computer can run this game at the highest graphics settings and have brain power leftover. Problem being, the game can't run itself at those settings. There is a nifty bar you can use in the graphics settings that shows when you're at low, medium or high risk of crashes due to optimization. There is no such thing as no crashes. With everything at minimum, my game still crashed regularly. At some points, this resulted in a full computer crash. I had fun through the crashes, but they did suck pretty bad. Moving onto...

Microtransactions: The developer made an excellent game, Capcom covered it in dirt and feces. These microtransactions are mostly noob bait. After 75 hours, the only thing I'm even remotely interested in buying is the Rift Coins, and it's purely for convenience. You get them slower in DD2 than you did in DD1, which probably contributes to my mindset. Wakestones aren't necessary until way later, Character Editors are cheap ingame, makeshift gaol key really blows my mind with how silly it is, Incense is near useless, Heartfelt Pendant isn't necessary, Harpysnare beacons how do they even work, and you'll get a camping kit within like a picosecond of playing the game. Don't buy the MTX. Capcom really did themselves a disservice with this. If you can get past all of that, though, you can start to...

Play the game: Do it. If you can make it to this point, just hecking do it. This game is slammed full of content. For new players and DD1 enthusiasts alike. Things like:
-New beasties
-Reference to DD1 (story and locations)
-Vocation independent stats (no more playing sorceror/assassin so you have balanced stats)
-Alternate travel methods (Oxcart, grab a griffon)
-Multiple quests with multiple outcomes
-Cat people
-Post-game Content

As an added note, minor spoiler, the post-game content is semi-time gated. Be ready for it, it's awesome. And kill every drake you find once you can kill them. Also, ride a griffon home for a portcrystal, pretend the bastard stole it from me in a past life and it's a gift.

If you enjoyed DD1, you're probably already playing this because you aren't turned away by the price tag and MTX, and I can only hope that one day the game becomes less stigmatized, or Capcom falls off a cliff or something and we can have nice things without the caviats again.

Also ignore the weird steam community around the game, they're all a bunch of smooth brains that don't realize sex, gender and body type are definitionally exclusive to each other. Bigots I think is the word.

TL;DR Bye money, kill dragon (and MTX)

The High-Grade Medical Supplies to my Insomnia Cat.

At the time of writing this review, I have been playing this game actively for 33.3 hours. I bought it three days ago. If you value a good game, don't think about buying it, just buy it. If you value time spent outside of playing this game, don't think about buying it.

After a couple hundred hours spent in game, I only have three things to say.

The company and their monetization system seem great. 10 dollars get 1000 coins. Simple, easy math. Battlepass gives enough currency to unlock the next battlepass for free. Seasonal battlepasses actually last for seasons, 90 days.

The PvE is pretty good, but limited. After 70+ hours in PvE alone, I can say that the content does get repetitive, but overall it's enjoyable. Good gunfighting, decent sounds. Enemy variation isn't great, but I personally found it soothing to fight them because of the variation in weak spots and attacks. Expedition is a little lacking (the rogue-like mode) because it's very open right now and feels like a walking simulator, and communication is key (and also absent in a lot of cases, but that's a player problem. The method to communicate is there, just barely used). On the other hand, sometimes a regular guy just... suddenly can one shot you. Probably a bug.

PvP. If you want to enjoy PvP in Shatterline, first you need to invent a time machine, go back in time 1 year when the game originally released into Early Access, already be a great FPS player, and then maybe you can compete. However, as it stands, you'll end up with a group that doesn't know the open end of a gun is supposed to be aimed at the bad guys, while you're going against a person who literally lines up a headshot for somebody that hasn't even spawned in yet (And gets it on the killcam, which is infuriating). Seriously, the PvP is not enjoyable for new players in its current state because people who have injected the game directly into their bloodstream are playing with people who are anemic.

That being said, Expedition is getting a fancy new feature in the next big update, and pvp matchmaking will be introduced as well, so maybe those two complaints will be resolved. I'll update my review if my head doesn't fall off when I spawn.

It's worth playing, but completion gets grindy.

"I wish I knew how to quit you."

I have a system in place to justify my purchases. Every dollar translates to one hour of ENJOYABLE play time. This purchase is justified seven times over and I only just finished the achievements. Plus it's in early access, which means several more hours later on down the line. If you've got $3.00 burning a hole in your steam wallet like I did, don't think about it, just buy it. You won't regret your purchase.
