Been playing After the Fall mostly this last week or so. Here's another kind of weird game, where it's pretty good in some ways but obvious oversights really drag down the experience. This game is pretty bad solo. The AI is slightly helpful on the base difficulty, but generally pretty bad. Yes, obviously this is a co-op game you should play with humans, but their mp design is so lacking. Crossplay is nice, but otherwise there are NO OPTIONS to find a desirable experience. You either start a room and wait, (forever) or you hit quickplay and it just drops you into a random room (usually with late game players on the highest difficulty who all have late-game equipment) like you cannot set even basic preferences for quickplay (like difficulty) and the game makes no attempt to match you to an appropriate group. And maybe there is a way to browse for open matches to join? But I cannot find it.
I get home from work and boot this up... spend 30+ mins trying to find a somewhat suitable lobby, or waiting in my own empty lobby, only to just launch into a game with the AI and watch them get murdered by every boss.
Experience, not great. Game is also pretty blurry, just generally. However, some of the guns feel pretty good. And there is some enjoyment to the gameplay loop, despite its shortcomings and jank.
Idk... unless I find a way to get into more desirable lobbies, and sooner, I might bounce off / bin this one.
