First blush, it **feels** like an asset flip, with nothing original. Gameplay from Deep-Rock Galactic, but without the dynamic tunneling; 3rd-person controls from the Division; game tries to look like Destiny while copying Halo, right down to "Pelican" drop-ships and blown-up definately *not* "Warthogs" laying around a world ripped right out of the "Starship Troopers" universe. The premium store feels about as generic as Anthem. The battlepass from... every EA/Activision game ever (although you can earn enough in-game credits to not spend realy money on it, someone on redditt said 40-60hrs of grinding, which isn't bad, imo). The weapons aren't customizable, some of the first-person reticles are flat-out unusable, graphics are totally meh, ( make sure to cap your frame-rate so it doesn't melt your GPU in the menus); Server issues are ATTROCIOUS. Good luck trying to get in with friends...
NOW, that all seems super critical, BUT, having said all that...
It is fun as fuck, especially the bugs (the enemy ones, not the game ones), despite feeling copy-pasted out of DRG, that's a niche game, so I'm guessing most people won't feel the same. The robot enemies feel a bit more generic to me, and less fun. I find killing bugs is almost always fun.
To clarify, I'm not accusing this game of being an actual asset-flip, or directly copying/ripping-off other games, I'm just saying that's just the way it came across to me at first glance. Whether it is or it isn't, they've managed to make a good game out of it, which a lot of devs, assett-flip or original, fail at.
They really need to fix the servers, though. That's LITERALLY the only reason I would tell you not to buy it RIGHT NOW. Despite everything I wrote above, I think you'd enjoy it. It's awesome, it's just too unreliable at this moment to expect to sit down and play when you want to. We waited 3 hours Friday night to get three people together. Monday night Joe and I played for 5 hours and our friend NEVER got in to play with us.
Also, I did buy the Premium Pass outright, and... it's not really worth it (shocker), but hey-ho, to each their own.
