Is this not the hardest game to review ever? Although I liked the game from the start, the vanilla version was not OK for many, many reasons. Mainly because we didn't get the game we were paying for, at all. But things have changed now.

If you play the game nowadays, it is a really, really good one in my opinion. But it's so unfair that many people probably bought a limited edition, hoping it would be THE game, and didn't quite get that at first. That moment, when so many of us realized in our coaches that the game was not what it was meant to be... we just didn't deserve it. We had been praising the studio, the concept, the way they talked about their project... everything, just to be betrayed.

I honestly love what the game has came to be. It is one of the most innovative games of the generation, if not the most. It brought many new gameplay and storytelling mechanics, but it also widened everyone's perspective on what can be achieved. I'm sure many people, like myself, have thought about many ways to tweak the game to make it absolutely unique and mindblowing. As a Ready Player One fan I suggest the following: Please, Hello Games, spawn your single most beloved arcade machine on a random planet in the universe and make it interactive, so we can actually play it during a sunset in whatever planet, of whatever galaxy you pick. That would be insane, and probably affordable.

Another thing that this game has brought to the industry is a experience I never had before with a game. That is, waiting and especulating on what's gonna be the next update. The whole, everlasting hype thing that's going on the back of my mind every time I think about this game. That feels, in many ways, like being in love. Yes, Sean... I guess I love you after all.

So, if the rating is not higher for me, it is just because of many people's first experience with this game. It was heartbreaking and, again, totally unfair. Other than that, I think this is a historical game, a total gamechanger.

Fun and exciting, never gets old!!

I put off purchasing this game for quite a while because what I first understood from reading about it there didn't seem to be a lot of variety in the game play, I just believed you would either be capturing and zone or moving a pay load from point A to point B.
My friend finally talked me into purchasing it as it was on a special deal and I have not looked back and I rarely play much else anymore because I am LOVING this game.
There are so many different modes to choose from and those that are in the arcade change weekly and sometimes daily. Or if you fancy something completely different you can always look in the game browser where players set up their own games.
You might to start with think that you just pick a character and go but each has their benefits and their weaknesses and so you have to work with the other player in your team to choose a suitable line up in order to win.
Game modes rotate between attack and defense and so your character selection is very much dependant on what your are doing.
Playing solo and not in a team can get a bit frustrating, especially when players are not really thinking about what it is the team objective is and they just go for a character they play regularly rather than one that would benefit the team. Quite often I end up as Mercy or Moira (support hero's) in order to have a healer on the team as everyone selects quickly without working it out.
Competitive play for points (which runs in seasons) is also quite frustrating for the sakme reason... Especially as a loss means you drop down the rankings and your points at end of the season suffer because of it.
However I adore this game and if I ever fancy just relaxing and having a bit of fun this is always the game I go to first and so I would highly recommend it.

My favourite game of the generation

This is by far my favourite game of the generation and that's saying a lot because there are some amazing games I've played.

It may not be for everyone. There is no single player story campaign. The story and lore are things you kinda have to work out for yourself through voice lines, online comics, animated shorts etc

There will always be a character for someone whether your a medic or a tank protecting everyone or someone who goes running in guns blazing. You have a character who uses a jump jet and shoots rockets but then you have a robot who can turn itself into a turret.

You can play this game for hours and hours and it's an easy game to get into for all newcomers. You used to call of duty? There's a character there with an assault rifle, you got snipers and shotgun users. There are 27 heroes to choose from right now.

And the beauty of this is, no paid dlc. All maps and characters in the future are 100% free. There is no leveling up characters so everyone is on an even playing field. Only reason you level up is to win loot boxes. I know theres a huge controversy surrounding them but you only get comsrtics and they are fun to collect.

The game itself is 6v6 with different modes. Control, escort payload, capture. The usual stuff, then some extra stuff in arcade like mystery heroes where you become a random hero everytime you die, 3v3 elimination, death match. You have the usually quick play games but once you become level 25 you can start playing competitive if that's your thing.

It's a game you are constantly getting better at. Blizzard are constantly tweaking it with patches to keep it fresh. Plus there's a new character coming soon which is a hamster in a mech!!! What's not to love about that????

I do recommend playing it. Its fun to play on your own AND in a group.
