Few things:

- Playing the game does nothing. What i mean by this is playing the game doesnt directly add to your battlepass or other things. You have to complete certain tasks to level up your battle pass. A lot of them are "Log in for X days" so it limits you on purpose.

- Tasks that are listed are outright lies. "Get Agent Smith 2 Weeks Early!" It is impossible to do at this moment. The events are time-gated and difficulties spike drastically with more ways to buy lives if you die. more on that at the end.

- Lots of options are missing for no reason. Like the ability to swap Tilt attacks and Smash attacks. Also the option to disable picking up items when attacking is gone as well. Keep this in mind if this is crucial for you!

- They removed ranked for some reason. You will get anywhere between "can barely use a controller" to literally the best player in the world back to back. No actual rank knowing where you are at.

- The game has tightened up a lot for a floaty fighter. I feel like you have much more consistent controls than in the beta. The game is slower by LEAGES however and it does not balance out. Needs to be sped up a and it would be perfect.

- You cannot play the characters in 1v1 or in training. You must unlock them to try them which is insane.

- Works flawlessly on linux. No issues here at all. No crashing, no freezing, no lag, nothing. The only issue i have is playing with Windows users who seem to crash all the time. Network disconnects do happen but its rare for me so i will give them that.

- The PREMIUM CURRECY, actually named PREMIUM, is cancer. I had 40K points, cant even get a skin ffs. Just another corporate cancer maneuver. People who saved their gold for characters got absolutely boned. I saved my tickets but this is still huge BS for everyone.

FINAL THOTS:

Games mid-fun. The main issue I have is not allowing us to keep any of the skins we had during beta. I had to rebuy the Hollywood Bugs after already getting it back when the beta launched. VERY irritating. If i didn't already have some Gleam leftover and they didnt do that stream they put on to get Gleamium (and matrix banana guard skin) I would be even more pissed.

I play this with friends online, so a lot of these big issues arent a huge deal to me. That said, this is kind of insane what WB was able to do. Took a good game and sent it to MTX hell. I originally had a positive review until i found out about the rifts and absolute cancer that is the MTX. Later difficulties you have limited lives on impossible bots. If you die you have to buy more gleamium to continue. They do every single thing in their power to get you to buy things by force.

The game is fun, but I was planning on dropping a lot more money than i already have on this game. No more. I will also just not buy WB games ever again. They can go on the list with EA, Blizzard and the rest.

Player first, you guys fumbled the bag. Thoughts below.


Funness: 8/10
Overall: 5/10 for all the WB BS
