Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
I love the combat, movement, graphics, and audio design.
9 of 61 sampled reviews raised it
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
it's great, lots of excellent touches that only matter to people who have played nearly fps over the last 30 years. yes you can shoot through portals, yes there are melee headshots. if it has that stuff of course there is telefrag and even being credited with a kill if you do damage to someone before they get squished by an elevator. there are a few concerns for its longevity or for it to be taken seriously. no dedicated server so there is some kind of advantage \ disadvantage whether you are hosting or not. the only legitimate game to join would be one with a client server mediator who just afk'd continuously keeping the server up. and this is just a personal thing but I really don't like the air control or lack there of in this game. its extremely deliberate and makes platform jumping more of a prayer than a practice. there is no bunnyhop either so the movement experience is rather flat and basic, this is a choice and it levels the playing field a bit but its kind of meh, I would like to see potential options to toggle on or off certain features. even a feature like crouch. the amount of maps is paltry and I suggest working on a map editor and workshop support so the community can start cranking out dust 2 and blood gulch asap. this sort of game is quite rare and the polish already established is pretty phenomenal. oh and also please give an option to change the font in the game to something accessibly normal instead of weird runic squint and you can maybe read it font. it makes chatting in the game a chore as some letters look like others and ESL players have an even harder time deciphering if they are looking at curilic or what.
