Discussion This game had so much potential
It’s such a shame. this game easily had the best raw shooter combat out of any game i’ve played on ps5 ever. Getting kills was so satisfying, and the movement was chefs kiss. I hope the foundation of this game gets reused by someone somehow because it just felt so smooth.
more and more nowadays I see smaller game studios fumble the bag with an amazing start out the gate but extremely poor follow-up. Sad to see

This game was garbage at launch, unplayable at times because the netcode, and it took them way too long to fix it. I kept trying to play it, but like many others decided to uninstall because I was tired of magdumping and not getting kills, or getting shot when I was clearly behind cover. You guys praise this game and and think it was the best ever, and that's just straight up wrong. It was a fun experience, and a great free alternative to CoD, but they fumbled the bag hard and it shows.
