I cant help myself but give this a thumbs up. First R&C on PC with a good story, new characters (with some returning ones), and awesome controller integration while using the PS5 controller.

game fun hit M1 and repeat

I use it some. Its good, does what its supposed to.

Fun free to play game
Has some pay to win aspects but overall you can progress at your own speed.
Pros:
Fun combat
Fun mechanics
Fun group content (doesn't feel like you have to rely on teammates as much as other MMO's)
Unique support class mechanics
Class passives are unique but feel familiar to other titles like LOL
Good stream game

Cons:
Questing is fast but very repetitive
some parts of story are interesting but majority is meh
Late game lacks necessary healing options since supports do not heal (%hp potions are only made in stronghold which requires farming or buying with gems/gold)
PvP has a lack of balance in terms of pairing players in similar ranks/grades
Sailing is annoying at late game in higher hazard waters but can be negated if you focus time on upgrading ships/crew (Not very interesting/fun to upgrade ships)
Speaking of sailing, Lost Ark does not tell players how to get other ships besides the first 3
Matchmaking for PvE content is absolutely TERRIBLE for SOME dungeons. Most abyssals you will need to use Group Finder but for specific Guardian Raids you will want to use Group finder (not for all)
This is random but I found out the missing texture texture is the purple and grey checkerboard box found in other games like borderlands 2 and Alaric's body (The main bulk from below his waist) from the abyssal dungeon is a missing texture its hard to notice but once you see it you wont be able to unsee it.

Things I wish to see:
Lack of ingame documentation on boss mechanics for raids/abyssals which would be a QoL change. (Specifically something me or teammates could link in chat for others to read instead of having to explain mechanics to players through ingame text chat.
Exclusive skins for every class in store.
Maybe twitch integration for streamers.
Guilds should automatically recognize alts to not take up member spaces (but make it optional)

Overall:
Game is fun. Like it or not its up to you. One of the more interesting MMO's IMO. Has great detailed content and you can tell the dev team really cares about the game. There is one quest that shows some behind the scenes easter egg content like how characters or areas came to be. Come to find out a lot of the game devs actually voice acted for the story (They ended up scrapping it because of how bad it was) which to me really sunk in how much they loved what they were making. Give it a try, it is free after all.

TL;DR:
Fun game 9/10
Has some issues and of course isnt a perfect game.
Amazing PvE content and combat
Alright PvP (Kinda like COD lobbies before SBMM)
Mediocre questing/story

This game is genre defying. Almost none of my friends have it and when I ask if anyone wants to get it and play with me they ask “what is is?” In fact factorio is so hard to describe it’s almost kind boggling trying to relate other games to it as it’s camera angle perspective is vastly unused on most games due to its outdated feel, however, it’s executed extremely well in this game. Controls are simple and easy to use but in big factories can get confusing at times. It’s kind of hard to play this game on a regular basis just because it feels like it could have also been. Tablet game kind of like clicker hero’s coming to steam. As you progress further into the game you tend to run into a brick wall as it’s learning curve is insanely sharp and without the use of google or YouTube your doomed. The times it takes to research is too long for this game to be enjoyable in the long run but if your a player who enjoys a grind this is your game.

Optimization is not strong with this one.

I have barely even played this game honestly. I left for a 1 week vacation and didn’t realize I left my PC on with this game open in my background and when I came back I had 200+ hours on it.

A solid 500+ hours went into BHOP and Surf servers.

Eh just a weirder version of terraria tbh.

Rust is a game I have played before it was even called rust. I thought this would be just another indie game but developed into so much more with an active community filled with toxic and terrible players. But that is just the beauty of rust. The game wouldn’t have its atmosphere of PVP and hardcore rivalry’s without it. A+ to the devs for making a behemoth of a game.
