For those that played and didn't like the gunplay: Season 5 removed the most hated unique trait of the gun play that is significant & misleading visual recoil. Now that the recoil has been reworked the gunplay feels a lot smoother.

The rest of the review: This has become my main game since it released. This game really just has it's own sort of magic that no other game I've played can really do the same. When I first reviewed this game around launch I was wishing for it's success and while it's player count has somewhat stagnated I think that Embark has done a great job with communicating with the community, hosting, events, and putting out frequent updates; sure they're not perfect and there'll always be room for improvement I think they're one of the best developers we have especially considering the current state of many video games right now. Just like any other game I'll be frustrated at times due to some minor bugs and what not, but the game itself is solid. I think the biggest thing holding this game back at the moment is how demanding it can be on certain hardware. They've had multiple optimization updates, but at the start of every season since season 3 there seems to be a theme of horrible input lag and/or fps drops and frame-time variation.
