Early Access Review
Its a yes because I see potential. I've been enjoying my time, but I have a lot of gripes with it.
The Good:

1: Very well done building system. A lot of freedom in building houses, and structures. The snap system is cool, and it's really nice to be able to switch between first and third person to build.
2: Combat can feel pretty satisfying at times.
3: Exploration has been fun, and the quests are plentiful, almost overwhelmingly so.

The Bad:

1: The magic system sucks. Wands are pretty much useless, because they have no range, and no way to actually aim them, and they deal pretty much no damage.
2: Staves are interesting, but the fact you have "ammo" in the way of spell charges is a stupid idea, and the fact it takes so much mana to cast a single spell, you're more often going to be using melee than anything, it makes it feel like trying to do a mage build is just "Sword guy who can sometimes throw a fireball or two."
3: NPC AI is outright idiotic. Both friendly and enemy npcs. Friendly npcs block my doorways and watch me while I sleep. When they're not doing that, they're standing around the fire altar, meaning I can't use them until they decide to walk away, because the talk with NPC option is overridden by the use altar option, and both are on the same button. Pets will block doorways, and for some reason the devs decided cats and dogs have solid hitboxes, but farm animals can be walked through. ??
3.5: Enemy AI is also idiotic. Either choosing to all attack at the same time, or attacking once, and then waiting 10 seconds to attack again. Some enemies are overly aggressive to the point where you can get stun-locked in place. really doesn't make for a fun combat in those situations.
4: The buff system is beyond frustrating. I've wasted more food because I fell through the terrain and died, than I have actually making progress in the game. Rain is too heavy a debuff, making anything with stamina useless because it takes forever to recharge the bars. A lot of tuning needs to be done here.
5: The building system is weird. Why do I need to craft thousands of "blocks" to then build what I want to build? Just let me use the resources without needing to build blocks to then build my house. It's an overly complicated system that could be made so much simpler.

This game was good, once upon a time. And I still get the urge to keep coming back. Bungie is now what it was a long time ago... and it shows. This is definitely not new player friendly. We'll see what the SW expansion is like come winter though.

I wish there was a middle button between yes and no. If you're a PvE player, you don't get an endgame. If you're a PvP player, you play through 90% PvE until you can go live your psychopathic tendencies. Devs have no intention to give PvE an endgame, told us to "wait for dlc." So I know I'll be losing everything when they finally decide to give PvE players an endgame.

I have enjoyed the 50 hours I've put into the game so far. But I know that time is numbered once I finish the main story line.

Few problems: This game isn't like some of Funcom's other games (Like Conan) where you can just uninstall and come back some time later. Every 20 days, you need to log in and power up your base, and pay land taxes, otherwise you lose everything. So basically, play nonstop, or restart every time you decide to take a break from the game. There's definitely some egos on the Dev team that don't want to cave "their vision" for something that players would actually enjoy.

Definitely curious to see how this game's life is going to go. Will the PvP players get bored and leave, making Funcom change things to be more PvE friendly? Will the game just die because people don't want to have to login every 20 days, but don't want to start from scratch every time they take a break?

I have a feeling once I finish the storyline and ultimately uninstall the game, I probably wont be back until there's A LOT of dlc out that adds a good enough reason to come back. Or the devs stop being stupid. We'll see.

Most stupid fun I've had with friends since the Halo Reach launch on xbox 360.

I never played much of the original cause I didn't enjoy the controls, though I have watched enough videos on it to have an idea of what it was like. I have been loving the remake so far; Controls are nice, graphics are great, and its story is really good so far. It's fun seeing the differences between the remake and the original.

Early Access Review
Really fun game, both solo and multiplayer. You can really tell you're getting better at the game, the more you play. Scares the life outta me sometimes.

I want to enjoy this game, but holy crap it is hard. I can't get past the first section, 3 hours in. Progression is awful, and there are times I swear the AI cheats. Why do my guys just randomly take enough damage that I die in one turn, on the first fight of the chapter? There is enjoyable hard, and then there is Rogue Lords.
