The poor reviews for this game are undeserved, and seem to follow a theme: people who never played with friends, that rushed through the game treating it like a looter shooter and never figured out the puzzles, hidden items or classes, and rudimentary scratched only the thinnest surface of what this game is. This comment alone compelled me to leave my first review here ever because of the secondhand embarrassment I’ve felt reading these ‘Simpson’s comic shop owner’ cringeworthy reviews. “What is not on a high level is the structure of the game. You literally have four different worlds, and one of them is like the sum of all the others (in terms of size and time to complete).” This comment is ludicrous, disingenuous, and exceedingly narrow. After over 150 hours in this game, and having only unlocked 6 of the 11 classes, there is IMMENSE depth and replay ability. EACH of the games worlds, and DLC worlds, can be replayed 2 to 4 times over, with each”reroll” of the world completely changing the landscape, stories, available items, boss encounters, puzzles. EVERYTHING. The attention to detail and dedication to reward players that think outside the box and truly have the creativity and intelligence to solve puzzles is a unique experience I have never encountered, at least to this magnitude. The worlds are each very distinct, enemy designs are engaging, and most of the bosses have a flavor all their own. The PLETHORA of weapons, special abilities, and unique classes lead to near endless combinations of play styles, with rich third person shooter AND melee elements. The fact that not only can you run two FULL classes at a time, with access to ALL of their abilities and passives, you can change them on the fly. You don’t needto make multiple characters to unlock everything, or do everything, you can get each and every thing in this game with ONE character. Playing solo versus co op also changes the game, as some secrets require multiple people to have access to, and they make drop in and out co op incredibly seem less to where you can go between the hub area and each of the worlds without ever disbanding your party. Playing on PS5, on a C8 model LG OLED, the game is beautiful, never dripping below a rock solid 60fps on balanced settings, and I haven’t had any technical issues to crashes to date. This is the first time I have ever left a review here, or anywhere for that matter, because I’ve never felt so compelled to share my experience with a game I’ve been amazed to have never heard ANY buzz from, or met anyone that plays it. Grab your friends, fly solo when you feel like it, and dive in. This game has something for everyone
