This has flop written all over it.

This has flop written all over it.

Why?
Looks promising to me.

Feels like we've already seen this game, published by a well known publisher - and it bombed.

It's a crowded market, and bigger licenses than Robin Hood are even struggling.

 

[ANDS]

Always good to compare two games from entirely different genres; totally honest take.

. . .game looks fine as another co-op hero shooter that you can play alone if you choose to.

New single and up to 4 player coop game x gaas, multiplayer only competitive team-based game.

Can you spot the difference?

 

[Elder Legend]

They should change the name to Gangs of Genericwood. Or Gangs of Shitwood. Based of what I've seen so far.

[IDKFA]

This game looks really, really average. Almost offensively average.

 

[Kindela]

Mmmm, linear game, my God how I miss those. It reminds me of the lotr action games, with a bit of Castlevania Lords of shadow. No open world, no side quests, just go forward and progress. Even though it really does seem like a mid 60 game, I would unironically play this over most of the games coming out recently.

Well that was a $30 game, so idk what kind of sales they expected and whether it "bombed" or not.

But it also launched with extremely bare bones content and a very broken character that took months to nerf.

 

[Aion002]

Preorder it then

Never.

After Mass Effect Andromeda I stopped pre-ordering games.

Yeah, Cyberpunk was that for me. I avoided Andromeda after previews, lol.
