      There’s been server problems, like, I can’t stress how bad the servers have been… But it’s really awesome when you can play.

      It’s the first game cranked to 11, similar gameplay loop as Deep Rock Galactic but it’s all explosions and horde fighting.

      When it works, it really works. Weapon sounds and feedback are awesome, airstrikes are immensely satisfying, and the chaos is some of the most co-op fun I’ve had in years.

      But you can tell this a AA title, and the developers were unprepared for the size of this launch. Lots of bugs, matchmaking is wonky, and the servers are struggling hard to keep up. Not to mention the kernel-level anti-cheat on PC…the only reason I have it on PC was because a friend gifted me a copy.

      If you can look past that, give it a shot. If not, wait a couple of weeks and then try it.
