Negative aspects:

The level design is weird and very puzzle/jump'n'run oriented and the puzzles heavily revolve around getting your latest "force upgrades" // the jump and run/climbing takes a ton of game time away/feels like a boring filler (you can't really die/fail, its never hard or rewarding) // navigating/exploring the maps is really, really repetitive and streamlined

Overall progression is also super streamlined and you dont have any choices // they basically use one template for every system in the game (leveling up, looting, puzzles, fights)

I can't express enough how boring this game was: get some passionate level and quest designers, overhaul the progression system, give the players more choices and y'all are good to go, the graphics are stunning and the bg music was nicely done

MY UNBIASED EXPERIENCE SO FAR

Step 1: Download the game
Step 2: Update Driver
Step 3: Restart game multiple times after multiple crashes
Step 4: Can't join friends lobby "installation still in progress"
Step 5: Restart one last time
Step 6: Get earr*ped by unskipable intro sequence
Step 7: Can't fix ingame settings because game wants to pop-up-teach me how to navigate basic settings

~now this is where the fun part begins~

Step 8: Login to my existing Activion account: "Your current display name is not allowed." Please change your display name and restart the game.
Step 9: ERROR: Could not rename account because you do not currently have a rename token available.
Step 10: Close game and go to bed

Panam

The best bullet-hell game I've ever played. I come back to this time after time.

Fun but very casual. Gets kind of stale if powergamed correctly - but that's the case with most TD genre games.
