I really liked it. I don't even like battle royale games - but this one struck with me because of its unique concept of using mechs. And there was quite a lot of mechs and so many variations in abilities, characters, weapons, tools, and more. Playing with mechs was great because it was fast paced but not 1-shot-trick kill, so even when your mech was destroyed, you can continue fighting and evading the enemy on foot until you get another mech spawn, which was very thrilling and made the fights actual fights instead of deaths from nowhere. Plus it reminded me a bit of S4 League and maybe a bit of persona - the anime style, cities, aesthetic and music was all great, which is why I gave it a go.

It is really sad to see it go. Just recently it updated its characters and artstyle - it began looking very up to date, not anymore like an indie, and more akin to the more recent popular games like Genshin and ZZZ, etc. I thought it was a good sign that they are progressing, but turns out, whatever they were getting was not enough.

To the devs - I hope you get to continue using your talent on wonderful projects in the future. Thank you for creating the game.

I hope this concept doesn't premanently die. I'd wish to see its return someday. GG

Early Access Review
I always loved the Half-Life 1 Black Mesa facility and aesthetic of the old game. It just felt so cozy. All those office compounds, especially pre-cascade. I loved exploring it and I wished I spent more time interacting with the facility and being in that universe, wondering how it would be like to live and survive in such a place instead of breezing through it as Gordon Freeman has important things to do. That's why I loved Gmod Black Mesa RP servers.

Now my wish was granted as a full game that focuses exactly on living in the Half-Life 1 Black Mesa facility. I absolutely love how the devs handled it. Instead of trying to get out - you try to survive in this environment and live and explore in it, together with friends or alone. Very innovative, even in the survival genre. Very well made, and well thought of and easy to get into. On top of all, the devs are very active, with a transparent roadmap, constant community interaction through funny videos, and very nice and significant updates with new gameplay mechanics, enemies to handle, and areas to explore. A lot to look forward to! Easily one of the best purchases I made - it's a gift that keeps on giving!

To the devs: Thank you so much for making a dream come true :)

UPDATE 08.05.2024

TO ALL YOU INCOMPOTENT MICROSOFT GLUE-HUFFING, MARTINI SIPPING PILES OF LARD:

You have destroyed one of the few most unique game studios. You have spit in the face of true talent even after they brought in much success. You have killed truly unique and fun games while pumping life support into boring, soulless live-service trash.

I sincerely hope, that whoever is responsible behind the shutdown of Tango Gameworks, chokes on their breakfast cereal and wakes up homeless in a trash pile, because that's where you belong. Let your filthy, corrupting hands never touch the gaming industry again, you predators.

RIP Tango Gameworks. If you developers see this - please come together to make your own studio free of Microsoft incompetence. You came out with such bangers - you never even needed years of marketing hype and false promises to deliver masterpieces. We can't let your talent be snuffed out by greedy corpo brown-stains. I sincerely wish you the best, and will await your comeback.

----------------------------

I just love this game.
Came out of nowhere. Zero marketing. So fresh, so refreshing, so unique, OOZING with creativity, style, passion and fun.
And the music is just so amazing. I don't even like rhythm games because I suck at them, yet this one is so fun and friendly to get into (not that it's easy either!). It really takes you back to times when games were made for good ol' fun. Gives the Jet Set Radio vibes, from the popping color palette, to the cartoony style, to the wacky premise, and to the amazing soundtracks.
And no day one DLC, no battlepasses, or preorder bs. All DLCs are just nice little cosmetics for a singleplayer game to show support and appreciation for the devs.

I bought everything about this game at full price. I just want to shove money into the devs faces telling them "YES, MORE OF THIS, KEEP GOING". Really spits in the face of all the crappy modern game practices by going against the convention.

Community won, for now.

A mechanical and technical marvel, sure.
But it is the only game where winning puts you on a negative balance.

The only time you're going to actually "earn" in-game currency is if you get or pay for large boosters and premium, and even then, you'll probably get unfairly matched and totally flunk it with zero profit. You NEED a premium vehicle, like a plane, to gain any profit in currency.

And the currency you need for this game is vital for everything - purchasing new vehicles, upgrading, and even REPAIRING them. That means if your vehicles are destroyed and you have no cash you can't even play the game and have to go back to the starter vehicles and grind enough money just to repair some of your latest vehicles.

This isn't fun. This is a full-time job.
That's why I only enjoy playing Warthunder for like 1 or 2 matches a day so I can get and use the daily free boosters. This ensures I don't go negative in balance - but can you see how it punishes players for just playing? Terrible economy design. Can only recommend if fixed.

Update: Sadly the dev kinda abandoned it but not in an "unfinished" state - rather without new content after launch. It is still a very complete and fun package - recommended!

Such a great little game! Simple yet very fun and attention grabbing! It's in early stage, but its well worth every cent even at this point! I absolutely love the gameplay, artstyle, and especially the songs that are very reminiscent of the Red Alert soundtrack - very energetic, pumping and fitting! Definitely worth grabbing! Can't wait to see more content and updates!

I really loved this sequel! While it's not as industry changing as the first Mirror's Edge, it is still a bigger and (arguably) better version of Mirror's Edge's world. You can now explore the breathtaking City of Glass at your own leisure - taking in the sights and doing stunts as much as you want.
Some people don't like the change to an openworld, but I welcome it as it allows me to be in this world freely.

Gameplay is excellent, with the controls very easy yet fluid and to learn. Parkour feels amazing.
Graphics too are gorgeous, especially with that ultra-clean white and glass aesthetic of the city.
There are also day and night cycles so you get to see the beautiful environment in both the bright of the day and the deep of the night, and it is stunning in both times!

This game makes me relax and appreciate the sights. It makes me feel the fresh air and makes me enjoy the feeling of freedom it gives.

Definitely recommended!

A fantastic comeback of the series. An extremely smooth and gratifying experience. No other game makes you feel like such a badass doing badass things such as smashing demon heads into pieces while in Hell. Definitely recommended, even if you have Doom Eternal.
(also I like the Praetor Suit here more than in Doom Eternal)

Classic RTS. My all time favorite, as it considers most aspects and progression through ages of civilization.
