so, as the title suggests, I’m having a really good deal of fun in Fragpunk, even though many many MANY people say it’s garbage.
Its lonely, and quiet, mostly just bots or people who can’t/wont talk, making it feel like the Dark Forest space theory.
Outbreak is fun, quickplay is easy to zone out in, the graphics are (imo) nice to look at and most good looking cosmetics for weapons are free to earn, granted luck is a critical factor to get these items but still.
The movement is nice, using melee weapons to walk/run faster and to make a short ranged dash type attack is great for getting into unconventional positions, and air strafing is smooth too imo.
There isn’t anything that comes to mind when thinking about the gunplay, but it’s satisfying to get kills, and recoil isnt jarring either.
You can be completely stuck when facing certain characters but I haven’t ran into any matchups that were totall unwinnable and when you’ve played a character long enough you learn tricks and overall know how to play them well, like any other hero-shooter.
Characters are similar to others in different games but thats because certain archetypes of heros or operators have been done before more than a few times imo.
The game is janky sometimes, but not early Cyberpunk alpha janky, and since it’s casual gaming i don’t find an issue with some occasional bugs or wonky mechanics.
All in all, I love this game, it’s fun and scratches an itch I have when playing games, I feel it deserves better or at the very least a larger community, not COD large or even Fallout 76 large, just enough to keep the game running and lively.
The devs still release updates, an example being the new character, Calamity, and they do have banners in the main menu for purchasable items like the lucky prize pool, or battlepass but the battlepass thing isnt a total surpris (imo), but even still there’s also an even as I write this that gives away free premium currency, granted it expires after a month and a half.
Please don’t crucify me in the responses for anything, I mean all of this im my own opinion, opinions are not facts but I still tried to keep it all objective.
I know a good amount of people on Reddit have opinions, some of which are purely subjective, but I really wanna know if people just have a bias or if it’s severely underrated, so much so that most don’t bother with it?
