What you didn't see where the multiple takes before this one where I thoroughly sucked. Thanks to the overpowered Revenant, I got a score much higher than I otherwise should have.


I know this game is not the arena shooter many people had in mind, I had fun with what is here. Take it or leave it, this is basically a console take on the arena shooter genre with obligatory custom loadouts, XP unlocks, meleeing, and crouching (for some reason).

Performance wise the game is just OK, though it is hard to get a solid bearing on the game when virtually no graphics customization options are available. At the default settings at 1080p I wasn't able to maintain a solid 60fps, and even when I did reach 60fps I seemed to encounter occasional stuttering (which you may or may not be able to see in the video), which could possibly be due to the fact that the game never ran in a proper fullscreen mode. Even though the settings menu said otherwise, I clearly got a borderless window experience. For a fast paced arena-esque shooter I don't think this kind of performance is acceptable, but we'll have to wait and see what the full release is like before making any final judgments.

All in all, I don't think this beta has been the most effective way to market this game to PC players, but I'm both skeptical and hopeful for the full release. Hopefully the custom tools the full game will be released with will allow players to create more interesting and unique experiences than what we're seeing here. We also don't have any more playable/viewing single player gameplay from when this game was first revealed which I am far more interested in than multiplayer.
