EA Sucks ass and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ despise battle royales but I weirdly like this game a ton. I can't safely say if I have a gun pointed at my head while writing this but really, this one's pretty good

TL;DR: Weirdly good, I expected to hate every moment of it but I'm actually having a lot of fun

With a couple severals of different characters you'll likely find at least one character you'll like, they go from supporty tanks, to the more DPS oriented fastbois to a straight up medic. Maybe I'd wish it was slightly faster to unlock new characters, but they have to make money some way I guess

Shooting feels very good for the most part, a couple of guns feel way inferior to most other guns, but no gun feels way superior to other guns. I end up using completely different weapons almost every round, of course this is enforced by you having to find them by chance, and even further by there being a few different ammo types that only go to specific guns. It's a pretty good system that makes you try out new things.
And unlike in most Battle Royales I've put myself through, snipers aren't that overpowered in this either. Of course they offer a safer way to take shots against enemies from afar, but since all but one are projectile-based instead of hitscan, they're actually fairly hard to hit with unless your enemies are standing still. Even the hitscan one is like a Spartan Laser deal, so it's not a free win either. Even if you do get hit from a long range, it most often wouldn't kill you in one hit anyway, so there's that too. But, even still, snipers aren't useless at all. I feel like overall guns are pretty well balanced in this game. Use snipers for supporting fire for your friends, or against peekers, use LMG's and shotguns at closer range, use lightweight weapons when you need a good all-arounder.

My favorite parts are the gun attachments, it's a really fun and fluid system, you find the parts on the field randomly for several different rarities, and they improve your gun in a variety of ways. If you find a new gun and decide to pick it up, it'll just automatically swap over the parts from your old gun to the new one if they're compatible. I love this system

Overall the game is surprisingly fun, and that's coming from someone who passionately hates Battle Royale games after trying out several, so I don't know whether that means I don't know ♥♥♥♥ or that this game managed to pull off something no other Battle Royale has, which is fun gameplay instead of soul sucking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
