A ton of improvement from the original Grounded. I love the story and the ability to have mounts. I hope in the future we can get flying mounts like the butterflys or bee's. The multiplayer is a bit buggy, It would be nice to have an option similar to The Forest or 7 days to die to rent servers to further boost replayability and hopefully fix the multiplayer disconnections. Fantastic early access launch!

This game, has its starting issues just like COTW The hunter. im sure the Devs will sort it out similarly to how they did that game. However, exploring this map is absolutely breath taking. From helping the Game Warden with objectives to finding a hidden creek with a diamond largemouth bass. its got me hooked, i love this game and to me it beats the other simulators simply with the open world aspect. I look forward to the future of this game! Fish on!

Cons
- Some UI Bugs involving icons that do not exist IE cant be removed from screen.
- different fishing poses when landing a catch would be nice
- Multi player was completely broken on day 1 (expected)
- no text chat or automatic text for fish landed (similar to COTW: TH)
-Customization was non existant

Pros
- i spent 8 hours driving a map exploring destinations with a smile, enjoying every second
- vast amount of hidden creeks and rivers where fish are dense in population (hidden honey holes!)
- the fish FIGHT, its extremely hard to get used to, especially using a lure, but when mastered it feels very rewarding. COPIUM
- huge map, 12 friends, so much potential

Take this review as someone who has been playing madden every year since madden 99'. And then take this review with a grain of salt and bias because ive been buying it for just that long. But lets get down to the facts.

-MUT (Madden Ultimate Team) By far the Madden community favorite and EA's Bread and butter. Even with MUT being EA's Best mode and most utilized mode on madden it still to this day needs a UI and system overhaul. The menu system is clunky and atleast on the PC version, your menu has a chance to freeze/crash as of 8/29/20 (still waiting for day 1 patch from EA). However they have benefited FAR too much on a pay to win system, the game has been out for ALL players for just over 24 hours now, and players already have 85+ overall teams. and 91+ overall players simply because they opened their credit cards, and alot of them also buy coins on black market websites selling MUT Currency, its been happening for years now. If you cant grind alot of time or open your wallet, MUT is going to be VERY hard for you on PC this year, atleast from what ive noticed so far. I was facing 83+ OVR teams a day before the game even launched.


Franchise mode- Lets be honest.... EA says they are working on you guys for Madden 22, lets hope thats true, but as for now its just the same thing as last year.


FOTF- its a fun story type mode that you can put some time into! i wont spoil anything here so going to keep it short. but i say check it out, not good for longevity but if your wantin to just sit down and play while also hear a story being told. thats your mode.


- The Yard - So far its my biggest let down on PC..... Sadly its almost impossible so far to connect to multiple users at once. so if im wantin to do a 3v3 its almost impossible to find even 5 other people searching in the world to play the same game mode i was. that was really saddening, but im hoping that will pick up with more sales once the NFL season kicks off. the game mode seems fluid although im not fond of the camera mode, it seems more like a flyover type cam. But i was also desperately hoping it would be somthing like MyPark from NBA2K series, where users can build their character then run around in a lobby. i personally think if they invented a park with 5-10 fields, and a 50-100 person lobby where the fields were 5v5 and people could hop on a spot that would be MUCH more enjoyable. but maybe thats just me.



Overall- I will forever be biased towards madden and i guess football in general, this game feels so much better than madden 20 did and im just hoping the improvements continue down the line.

Highly addicting if you are a perfectionist. Be prepared to rage when everything you hold dear is destroyed by mutant zombies. But other than that its nice

Oh my lawd this game was absolutely amazing! It hit my feels and struck real life nerves. Amazing layout and shows what kids can do with imagination! Hope they enhance and continue with it! Will be purchasing Life is strange 2 simply to see chris again! Especially now that he has powers!!! Fully recommend!
