The game launched today, and I played a bunch of matches this morning. I'm really liking it so far. I see the potential for it to be a big hit since it's free on PS+. Could end up like a Fall Guys type of situation. What do you think, SW? Will you be checking this game out? Have you played it yet? Did you enjoy it?

I've only done the tutorial; it's promising so far.

The things that standout to me are 1) it doesn't have any in match music and 2) I expected a lot more vibration / haptics.

Yea, I agree, I think it's promising and over time they can make updates like what you mentioned. I hope they make the driving a little more like Burnout style. It feels a bit tight for me.

Kind of reminded me of Bleeding Edge, in that it was some studio's side project that they just decided to release.

I played it for a while. It's alright. There's a lot of personality in the character animations, but it needs some music overall. The matches are too quiet (sans online idiots) without it.

I was looking forward to this game for a long time and I actually didn't like it much at all. It reminds me of Fall Guys in the sense there is a lot going on but not actually a lot of substance. That said the similarities between the two games for me don't end there, there is also a large luck factor, staying out of action is actually smarter most of the time, only one decent game mode (in my opinion), and it has too many distractions.

I think the game will score mostly in the 6's and 7's with a meta around 64-79 (15 point gap). If I'm wrong then I'll admit it. For me however it just isn't what I was looking for... I'll revisit the game from time to time to see if they are making improvements but for now it feels incomplete to me and seems as though it could have used a few more months in the oven. It's almost like they have 50 half baked ideas and it feels incongruent rather than 20 well thought out and properly executed ideas. When people are mostly staying out of their cars and avoiding gameplay to win the BR game mode and sit back and wait for abilities to charge up in Carnado... well that really only leaves Mayhem and it is a single player mode which will not have any staying power overall.

This game will die fast unless they add things and add them fast. Hopefully this is just a precursor of things to come, but at this point and time it's a swing and a miss... at least for me. Oh well, I guess I'll be getting Atelier after all, which is cool since I can help my wife play through that. Disappointed to say the least, but didn't really know what to expect going in.. so it's all good. Needless to say, I would have been pretty pissed if I spent $70 on the game in the state it's currently in... although I am happy for those of you who like it.

For now I give the game an overall score (taking everything the game has to offer and scoring it on a universal scale) of 7 and a personal score (my personal feelings and enjoyment of the game) of 4.

It has a chance as it's free but doubt it'll have the short term impact fall guys had.

I disagree, I said TLOU 2 wasn't my GOTY, and that they screwed up with the story and how we were forced to play a character most people didn't like. I still like the actual gameplay and the AI in that game is incredible.

These are the type of exclusives I'd rather see. Not movie games that are over in a couple hours with no replayability. This game looks to be more in the direction of what I am interested in. But, one game isn't enough for me to buy a Playstation. They need more.

By the time there are enough PS5's in homes to sustain a game like this, the bloom will likely be off the rose.

And that right there is a good reason why console manufacturers need to do more to stop scalpers. So that enough actual gamers possess their consoles to actually play their games in order to support them and help them grow. As you said, it'll be old news by time most people get a chance to play it.

@SolidGame_basic: Saying a game is not your GOTY, they screwed up the story, and make you play a character you don't like, then saying you like the gameplay and the AI is incredible, just proves my point.

You simply can't point out the negatives, you need to point out the parts you like also.

What i truly mean is that you can't dislike a whole game from Sony.

Me, i don't like Halo or Gears, simple as that, no need for me to point out any good parts, i just don't like them period.

Game play looks fun.

If it wasn't free, what do you think the price of the game would have retailed for? I am thinking $30

I can't deny that it is just that. I was looking for something a little more competitive and was left searching for it. It is definitely lighthearted and just a lesson in over the top silliness which is another reason why I compared it so heavily to Fall Guys.

if I look at it like Fall Guys or Among Us and keep it all smiles all the time it's much easier to swallow. I'm playing it with my kids right now and they seem to like it... lol. I'm coming around on these types of games, but I'm just so damn competitive that they also piss me off that they don't feel more connected to a skill based platform and more one of mass chaos and everyone having an equal chance each game. My family is doing me well by dealing with the anger it causes me.. lol.

At this point in time it would be highway robbery imo to charge over $29.99 and I think it was a great move for them to put it on ps+ or the game might have been DOA. It isn't terrible, it just doesn't have a lot of depth or strategy. I was looking for a more competitive Rocket League like experience and was left with a bull in a china cabinet simulator. It's pretty much just shut your brain down and crash into shit... lol. I guess if I was high as hell it would be a lot more fun.

Games like this remind me that it's ok to not take everything so seriously and I do try to have fun with them... but when I'm thinking of playing other games the entire time or not truly enjoying my time with a game the first couple times I play it that's usually more than a bit of a red flag. I can see how other people would really enjoy this game, but I think it's going to be another play a few times and delete like Fall Guys personally.

I see plenty of potential, but it feels as though they were aiming for a younger audience. Maybe they can still turn that around though... If this game scores above mid 70's then I guess I just don't get it. For a AA, over the top, 10 minutes to sit and play game I see what it's trying to do. For anything more than that though... I'm just not so sure. If the critics disagree with me then like I said, I guess I just don't get what they were going for. I was really looking forward to this game though, so perhaps I'm being overly critical though.

If they charge money, these games should never cost more than UNO. $9.99 is what would make sense. Charge $30+ and it will never be big and servers will be empty 2 weeks after launch.

Funny that you mention coming around to it. I felt that way too. Originally it felt kind of stiff to me, but the more I played it, the more I got used to it. Glad that you enjoyed it with your family! Can definitely see it being a fun family game. Hopefully the game will evolve and get better, and at least Sony did the right thing and made it free to play. Should be interesting to see what happens.

and meanwhile im racking 100's of hours in Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart, Yoshi Island, Super Metroid, Mario 3, Zelda 1, Pilotwings, Tetris 99 and super punchout on Nintendo Switch Online service which 40 dollars cheaper than the Garbage XBL Gold and PS+

I don't want to play Portals Knights microsoft or farming simulator sony. I think ill stick AAA epic SNES games and tetris 99 for cheaper than your garbage offerings. But thats just me im having a blast playing a ton of hours I dunno what you guys are doing tho I really don't are you playing those 60 dollar garbage free titles or what?

After playing it some more, I think I'm done with it. There's not enough there to sustain my interest. This game probably could have used a few months more in the oven. Sony may as well make this F2P, because it's not worth the full price.

It's definitely the type of game that I'll play here and there, for a few short time or so, when I need my fix lol.
