Very interesting story, with fresh gameplay. Loved it.

My favorite game.

Consider the hours invested and my Steam library size for further perspective.

Freedom!

Pokémon done right

Nice story with a fun gameplay

I loved the lore of HZD. If you enjoy post apocalyptic scenarios like the ones from Fallout and Metro series, you have to give this one a try.
It`s got a mesmerizing open world, filled with entertaining combat, topped with amazing character and gear progression. Plus, the visuals are eye catching. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Just sit back and enjoy the ride... and what a ride...

TL;DR: This is an incomplete, Early Access game, being sold at triple A price, cash grabbing as much as possible from sales AND marketplace.
IMHO save your money and your time, look elsewhere for the time being.

Here's the breakdown why this is so bad right now and cannot be recommended in my experience:

1) Complete lackluster testing, if any. There's several things that you'll notice and will think "How could this have gone unnoticed?!", for example, side missions:
There's quite a few of "rescue ally" or "retrieve resource chest" which are locked behind a console terminal that needs to be hacked by interacting with it OR a breakable door. Basic stuff, all good, right?
EXCEPT, some heroes can do both, some heroes CAN'T DO EITHER (Capt. America, you dummy) and most can only do one of the two. That's very annoying, defeating all the enemies only to find out you are unable to retrieve the chest or rescue the ally.

2) Crashes. A lot of sudden crashes where game is seemingly running smoothly and out of nowhere, back to desktop. I have yet to stay in-game for more than ~45mins without a crash.

3) Capt. America 'classic' skin is now known as "Face melting" skin in this game. You'll see it in the Campaign cutscenes, Half of Capt's face will look like that scene from Indiana Jones. In-game too, but not too noticeable since you'll be looking at his back 90% of the times.

4) I'm sick of hitting "Reload Last Checkpoint" because Mission objectives become impossible to complete. Specially the "Secure the area", "Clear remaining enemies" or "Kill Boss" because enemies/boss will get stuck inside walls or simply vanish from the map. Do NOT corner enemies and hit them with a heavy hit, or they will go 'noclip' mode. I mean, it's only a beat-em-up game, who would do that anyway, right?! -.-

5) Similar to previous issue also applies to the player and objects in the map. Hitboxes and physical boundaries are badly messed up. Physics do NOT apply here. You'll be falling from the map, pinching, things being catapulted and teleportation happening more often than not.

6) Multiplayer non-existent. Currently at 37 hrs played, still haven't been able to get a SINGLE FULL SQUAD, despite mostly using Quick Match (the option to quickly jump in on a random mission, with a random hero, with other people). You'll be lucky to find another person to play with, unfortunately. The vast majority of my "multiplayer" mode has been me and 3 Companion AIs

7) Speaking of Companion AIs, the bots are so poorly designed. They only stick close to you and attack whoever you are attacking. Think of Rocket League Novice Bots, it's on par with that.

8) Very poor balance. There's a myriad of actions to choose from ranging from Dodge, Parry, Counter, light combos, heavy combos, Ranged, 1-2-3 powers, but in reality, feels like the game is designed to have only one acceptable action per moment. If you try to do something else, you'll fail and be hardly punished for it.
No real variety of gameplay. Be either with The Hulk or the Black Widow, so much potential for unique gameplay, so little done in reality.

9) Gear/Loot. Another topic with potential, but oversimplificated, to the point that there's a button you hold that equips the "highest power level" gear and that's all that matters. Perks, Synergies, Rarity are about as good as nothing.

I hope this gets fixed in the near future, there's a lot of potential, Campaign was pretty cool, but that was done in 10 hours.

7 years or so up and running, still thriving.
Labor of love awarded, well deserved.
Free 2 play model done right.

Aaaaaaand revolves around "Space ninjas". What else can you ask for?!
Just add to your library, go.

Top 3 of all time. Best Game development studio ever.

Edit: Please keep in mind this was posted back in November, 2017.
Waaaay before the Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco. Just goes to show how corporate greed can change everything. Ironically, very similar to what happens in the "Corpo" questline on said game. Tsc tsc.

I'm not really into car/racing games, and I absolutely despise football games...

But I have a blast playing Rocket League! It´s way more fun than 99% of my other games.
You can play casually, competitive or just mess around with dorky modes (Rumble, anyone?)

Bottomline is: At the very least, give it a try, you might enjoy it like I did.
