Hell no. How can this even be released into early access? The idea is nice, it has some ambience to it but this is far away from a game. This will be in the early access hell for quiet some time before it will be enjoyable to play

- Terrible optimization and i play "only" in 1440p on a RTX 4080 paired with a 5800X3D and the FPS is quiet bad.
- Gamma setting literally does nothing
- No seperate sensitivities for aiming and general looking around, have fun to have a barely fast enough sens to comfortably move your character and then enter spinbot mode while you try to aim for something.
- Overall clunky movement and combat mechanics
- Barely functional overall

Maybe in 2026 this game is somewhat playable

Save yourself some money and buy this instead of Diablo IV

Overall a great game, not so great of a port tho. However, I personally had only 1 crash through my whole playthrough and my FPS was overall fine. It someitmes varies heavily tho between 100 and in some areas in the 50s so there is definetly an optimization problem.

According to many other reviews there are frequent crashes and performance issues i can only talk from my own experience here which was overall fine. However, i do use a fairly high-spec system. Played on:

4K, Quality DLSS upscaled, everything maxed out
RTX 4080 / Ryzen 5800 X3D
Used controller for the entire playthrough (heard that mouse controls are laggy by other users, no experience on that)

Gameplay and story wise a masterpiece.

Disclaimer: the shader compilation on your first startup takes FOREVER even on a system like mine it took atleast 15 minutes which is very bad.

Buy at your own risk in it's current state.

Incredible game, must play. Also very good performance. played on native 4K no upscaling whatsoever and not even tiny FPS dips anywhere throughout the game. No bugs encountered to my knowing. 10/10

Insanely good. The high price may be off putting but even if you played the OG Dead Space, well worth it IMO.

imagine loot dropping empty on the ground and you have to "craft" it yourself with materials which you can obviously buy in the cash shop if you want (and you probably willl have to later into the game).

Also if you are in town crafting, your crafting materials are only considered available when you carry them in your actual inventory which of cause is limited. I did not try it out but i bet a 100% if you buy the essence stash you can probably craft with the materials from your stash no problem.

Well it's a cash shop with a game attached to it, who would have thought. Creating problems, selling solutions, a timeless classic.

I Imagine people arguing "but in path of exile you can buy convinient stash tabs too!" but in Path of Exile the premium stash tabs where an afterthought due to increasing inconvinience through more and more content added into the game.

In this game it's the exact opposite, the inconvinience is thought of first to get players to spend.

Game is very good, FPS is ass tho. Devs, please fix.

Fun, but way too overpriced for what it offers.

TLDR: You get more Outriders, but just more Outriders, the old same 3 abilities and skill-trees for all the classes just with some extra spice Outriders. This could also have been a free DLC by its content span honestly. Or 10-15€ Max.

+ New Monsters
+ New Bosses are interesting
+ More loot and more mods is always good to have
- Campaign takes like 3 hours to beat
- New Dungeon is the same every time with minimal variation, feels like low effort
- Pax trees only have 5 points, expected more (again feels like low effort)
- No new active skills to use / no new class (no effort at all)
- No changes to core skill trees or new core skill trees for existing classes.

Flawed new Feature: Apocalypse Gear
+ 3-Mod gear could be another layer of min-maxing posibilities
- 99,9% of the time you get a bad 3. Mod which you cannot change or you get a good mod with bad stats on the item. RNG levels are too high.
- You need the new resource to upgrade apocalypse gear by salvaging apocalypse gear and the cost of upgrading is way too high. You are better off just sticking with 2-Mod gear wich you can level up way way easier.

So a game with supposedly skill-based combat that features broken inaccurate animations. Makes total sense to get the most vital fundamental core part of the game wrong. Fix your animations it doesn't matter how much customization or random loot there is if the gameplay doesn't work.

In the long run Destiny 2 is just an uninspired pile of trash. Why? :

Weekly / Daily system:
- You want to progress in gear in any reasonable pace? Do weeklys and idle for the rest of the week or mindlessly kill 308892 Monsters until u get a Powerful Engram wich will be dropped guaranteed you just have to go through a tedious time based grind for it. You probably will get Gloves again with 1 GS point higher while the rest of your slots are far more behind. Deal with it.
- You want to do weeklys? Engage in activities you dont want to do, have fun.
- You want to do bountys for weeklys? Enjoy using ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapons you dont want to use because: we didnt have other ideas so just play ♥♥♥♥ you dont want to play because we tell you to.
- You want to do Strike bountys? Okay, just switch your build to another build because we tell you to play Void because again, reasons and we are not creative enough. Screw your Solar build we tell you to play void.
- Speaking of Strike bountys (normal strikes): enjoy steamrolling content you are straight up heavily overgeared for and just do it 3x over because again, thats the weekly quest yay. Is it fun to run braindead through trivial content wich is not even a tiny bit of a challenge? No, but you get gear right?

Sure i can already hear the argument: "But actually, you can roll random bounties with glitter." Sure you can. Is it fun tho? Rolling random stuff that u discard after because u got like 32 Sword kill bounties in a row? No its again a huge timewaste and not fun to engage with.

General Quests / Campaign:
-Open world: Run around in circles, loot the same chests, do a public event, kill x monsters in zone z. Chests gone? Relaod zone, run in circles again.
- Quest step 2: do it again, i mean really again, the exact same thing in the exact same place again.
- Oh, please get Gearscore 1400 for the next campaign quest. Repeat steps above to do so.

And finally the Campaign endboss, the pinnacle of the current Expansion Campaign. I dont even need to do a spoiler warning because there is nothing to spoil. This is the encounter, literally:
- Hit HP bar to a certain threshhold
- Boss gets immune and spawns the same adds on the exact same spots every single time.
- Kill adds to be able to damage Boss again.
- Hit HP bar to a certain threshhold
- Boss gets immune and spawns the same adds on the exact same spots every single time.
- Kill adds to be able to damage Boss again
- repeat above until boss is dead.

While you do this NOTHING changes, no new moves, nothing. You are just getting your time wasted for atleast 20 minutes straight.

And last i want to mention content Voiding. It makes sense but people paid for the content. Instead of making your players run in a hamsterwheel and do the same weekly/daily activities on only 2 or 3 different plantes (actually i think its even only one, the rest is instanced and accessed via queue playlists) you could have just made the old planets playable and relevant. Right now im only moving in 2 open world spaces and this is the town hub and the new introduced Zone. If you ask me thats not barely an excuse for content voiding.

TLDR: can be fun, expansions way overpriced its not free to play, its only a demo without addons, content is soulless and just uncreative forced grinds with a timegate and forcing you to play weapons and builds you dont want to play.
