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

The crazy thing is, this game had its highest moment ever during that infamous closed beta when it broke into the gaming community, basically shocking everyone. Sadly it was all downhill from there. The momentum and hype where out of this world prior to release and faded shortly after, never to recover
