Hey everyone, I’m thinking for this one rather than posting a review thread like I normally do, we can just chat.

Has anyone picked it up? If so what are your thoughts so far? If you haven’t picked it up, are you enticed by what you’ve seen in reviews and impressions? Do you have concerns? Also, if anyone here has played the first one, how do you like or dislike the changes they’ve made?

Personally, I am 90% certain I’m gonna pick it up. Tonally it looks hilarious, and gameplaywise it looks very tactical and visceral. I also think the price is just right for me to be a bit impulsive ($40). I’m trying to hype my friend group up to see if we can get a party together. If not, then I’ll probably wait for them to patch the issue with public matchmaking on PS5 before I pick it up.

So what do you all think?

    I’ve picked it up on PC. So far the matchmaking doesn’t work. But I’ve been playing with a group of friends. So far I love the game. I originally enjoyed the first one. But I think this one really expanded the combat of the game. Also the difference between the aliens and robots is awesome. Just played against the robots for the first time last night. We’ve also only had a couple crashes over a few days of playing. And no issues with frame rate and graphics.

    For 40 bucks? Worth it in my opinion. If playing alone though, I would wait for the matchmaking patch.
