Possibly the best looter shooter of all time. Great repayable story (thank god you'll play through it a few times at least), Fantastic writing and characters (so much so that they cant replicate it in the sequels), Looting and progression feel amazing especially with friends. The game play loop is incredible addicting. The only thing that holds this game back is its age. The movement, gunplay and QOL are mid at best. The modding community for this game has been amazing for its entire run keeping things fresh for a decade and fixing issues Gearbox has refused to address. I truly hope Gearbox wises up and takes what made this game so great and uses it as a blueprint going forward. BL3 and Wonderlands were Pretty damn good (especially with mods) but they still dont compare to the magic this game has.

R.I.P Tango you will be missed

Tldr: After putting 390 hrs into Pokemon sword and shield, TemTem blows pokemon out of the water in just a few with some definite room for improvement.

To be very clear this game is in early access so all of these problems are being addressed and the team is doing a INCREDIBLE job updating. Within the first 24 hours they implemented countless hotfixes and a number of patches while staying in constant communication with the community. The devs have put so much into this early access title and it shows.

Lets get the problems this game has out of the way so we can move on to the good.
The bad: As i said before this game is in early access and all of the tems are not in the game yet, and neither is all of the traversable areas. So getting into this early you have to know its an incomplete game that is being costantly updated with new content. The second problem is the servers cant handle all the traffic that this game is recieveing in its first couple days. i am being disconnected every 20ish mins and it takes a good 3-5 mins waiting in a queue to get back in the game. next is the community features at this point seem lacking. This is my first mmo but it seems more like a lot of people having their own solo experiences than experiencing it with others.

The good: Lets start with graphics. At any setting this game looks pretty damn good. The art style definitely is the reason for this along with the color pallet they chose to use on the world. But everything looks vibrant and beautiful. The devs of Pokemon Sword and Shield said they cut over half the pokemon to work on animations for the moves and attacks in their game but came out with this https://youtu.be/tAydd_b8Xlo ... Temtem actually has pretty gorgeous animations for most moves. at least way better than swsh. The music... omg the music just makes you feel warm and filled with a lil wonder. no other way to describe it. The battle system is amazing. doubles is the official format of competitive pokemon but they rarely have you play that way in games. it adds so many more options in battle in comparison to singles. the stamina system is also really ingenious as it pushes you always be switching tems in and out. the game pretty much tells you that you cant just use one tem to power through all you battles and it is something ive never had to deal with in a pokemon campaign. This makes you actually have to think and its refreshing for this genre of game. Performance, This game runs without a hitch 1440p past 200fps on ultra on a i7 8700 and a 1660ti never haveing any frame drops. Game life, this game feels in this early access state to be significantly larger than sword and shield and the game still manages to feel alive in every nook and cranny. Sword and shield felt bare and dull in comparison. Each npc in tentenm has something to say and its always interesting to take the time to talk to each.

I havent gotten far enough to really report on the breeding ad competitive aspects of the game but from what ive read they seem pretty solid to say the least.

If the devs of this game keep putting the heart and soul they put into this beta i have no doubt it will be an incredible game for some time to come.

doesnt even run. lol
