Story and characters

Honestly, can't tell, I guess the lore quests finally work the way they intended it to, I think?

It's refreshing to see a competitive multiplayer game that doesn't require expensive hardware just to enjoy smooth gameplay.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Honestly no clue, because if it was for optimization.. well then they somehow made it only worse, it's honestly surprising how it's tough to figure out just which settings my pc can safely run for it to run smoothly at 165 fps or at the very least 60fps, without looking at charaacters made of 100 or smh polygons. which is surprising as 7 years ago I had a pc that was already 10yrs old and was able to play the game pretty smoothly

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Every part of the game — the visuals, the sound, the pacing — kind of blends into this feeling that you’re actually inside its world, even if you’re just casually playing.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
The characters are actually pretty appealing, albeit not as fully fleshed out as Overwatch since this game doesn't really have a story rather than just being exactly what it is, a hero shooter, the gunplay doesn't feel terrible, the graphics are still reminiscent of pre-Overwatch 2 and don't look too terrible despite having not been updated that often at all and that also helps the optimization by quite a bit, the playerbase isn't so unbearable SO FAR in my experience.
