What players think
The recurring themes across 64 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The game has good looking graphics (despite being pixelated).
It has a really fun, intuitive and interesting gameplay loop with lots of fun stuff to explore and experience.
There is a map editor and hot-seat switching for multiplayer available, kind of like AW had, which I dig.
Perhaps the largest positive I can give ESF is the Steam Deck performance while mimicking the ability to hot-swap with multiplayer like in war room, but as close as that gets, it's still not where AW was.
It's got great sound design, it's fast paced, it's not broken or buggy or incomplete and it's all at a cheap price.
