What goes wrong
The game is unplayable unless they find a solution to the cheating problem; therefore, I do not recommend buying it.
Easily one of the most boring games I've ever played. I don't understand what people see in it.
this game is too hard solo.
PVE queens got what they wanted I guess... happy for them but theres not enough PVE content to keep this game alive. PVE players will get bored and game will die
[b][u]Trop long, pas lu :[/u][/b] Très bon jeu rendu trop frustrant par le déséquilibre entre JcJ et JcE.

The expectation was regular monthly content. Instead, updates slowed dramatically, the player base declined, and the roadmap was reduced [...] without hesitation.

Great game!! Most fun I’ve had in a long time. DEVs please keep the PVE option me and my son love to play and make it through a match without some griefier camping at the extractions just to loose...
While I usually do not write reviews, this being my first, I will give my 2 cents as a casual gamer who frankly decided to reinstall this game for the hell of it and booted it up one late night to...
Bug fixes need to happen quicker.. exploits and cheaters addressed.. ZERO excuses. Alot of this has been poor management and communication from underqualified CMs on discord since the start..
