AMAZING. When it works, It could be AA Game of the Year if they keep releasing content

Tekken 8 is a masterpiece! thank you Harada for putting this on Steam.

This is a review for the last 7 months as a whole coming from 700 hours+ on G-Arena and 60 on Steam.

In this review I'll focus on 3rd Person, because that's the way it was originally intended and as such that's what I stick to.

This game firstly is built on a great engine, with solid shooting mechanics, no dsync nightmare, very generious loot tables and just an all around a polished and stable game.

In the new Pioneer Servers, you have a choice between 3 different loadout that are unique and change the way you can approach certain engagements.

The Hang-glider with limited backpack space but great to get across swaths of land and get on enemy rooftops. Oh yeah, and you can shoot an smg while gliding! Very Hand-y

The snowboard, with medium backpack space, great for speeding away to zones or down mountains. Also, you can pull sweet tricks off by holding jump key before a ramp life formation in the world.

The third pack is a climbing kit, which you can use to scale mountains and also include a zip line motor attachment. You will find zip lines scattered across the map to traverse. It also has the largest backpack space avaliable.
*hint, you can hold about 75 more wieght by equipping a bulletproof vest.
*Each pack includes a weapon to give you a fighting chance if you spawn next to an enemy.

Which Brings us to spawning in game; which is grid based- choose your location. This is a change from most Battle Royales by not using a parachute mechanic to pick your location. This, in my opinion if MUCH faster to get in games without the fuss of waiting to land. A very welcome inclusion!

When spawning in, my friends and I have noticed in game lag for a few seconds. Nothing major, just everyone spawning in and the game catches up, but don't let that put you in dispair, because overall the game, I feel is VERY well optimized for a beta. Decent options in menus to customize controls and graphics, but don't expect alot of visual flair. It's serviceable, but not to 2018 quality expectations. I will take gameplay that is fluid over ray tracing level of eye candy any day though.

The game plays as most battle royales with a few new twists to it, such as moving zones are governed by ice cold weather called the "Ymir" and will deal damage over time, to an increasing effect. It will cover your screen in ice, adding to the effect that your in an ice storm. Your guns will also have ice and snow on them, which is a nice attention to detail that I appriciate.

The end game is where the meat of the game is. It's not AS stressful as 1v1 in pubg are sometimes, because this time you have a helicopter that will land in a designated area that will be marked on the map. 4 people can board, but that will rarely happen because it will be a snipers hotspot picking off enemies climbing the ladder to board the helicopter. Most of the end game rely's on your medkits to last you til you and the last people can't take anymore damage and try to board the heli. It's a cat and mouse game and is fun but often repetative because it's less skill and more on who looted more medkits and can wait out the Ymir the longest.
Overall, It fits with the narrative that Tencent is pushing with this game. Which I feel is a nice change to the regualar BR fair. You will find bit of story scatter around the map that will tell you what people were doing at the time before having to leave.

After spending the majority of this year playing this game, I can say it's my favorite battle royale. It's refreshing, it works, and has a bright future with devs that are ON THE BALL when it comes to pushing updates and features. Give it time, you'll be in for a good run with this game.

Thank you Tencent and ROE devs.

Absolutely dead game, waste of time and money.

Great potiential, would have loved to played it.

Probably my favorite game of the year and top 3 Metroidvania games ever made.

So many builds you can do to keep every run fresh. It's not a game for people easily frustrated. It rewards grinding in a good way. You feel smarter playing every time. It has made my reflexes lightning fast!

An absolute treasure to speedrun also.
I love this game.

Thank you Motion Twin

Holy smokes! That was amazing!

Incredible production values! Sigorney Weaver!

HYPE WAS REAL!

The best fighting game on planet earth comes to PC!

Solid gameplay and while the rage art is kinda of cheap, it adds a new twist to end game of sweaty matches.

Runs perfectly on GTX970 on ultra
