Just a note: I only played this game for a little bit before refunding it because i couldn't see myself spending a whole lot of time on it, but I made sure to give proper analysis to its gameplay elements.

Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Learning to aim while getting good at landing head shots vs reliable body shots is an important part of personal progression in any pvp game.

The game has potential and the art style is fun so I hope it goes free to play to give it a chance with a bigger audience.

Anyone that's complaining about the price point should keep this in mind, especially when comparing it to games like Overwatch (which costed MORE money to buy than Bleeding Edge at launch, and still capitalises off loot box sales with real world money).
