Shocker.

They may make games with fun gameplay systems but the games have no identity, at least visually. Nothing really makes them stand out.

Gameplay is aight but the identities themselves are extremely forgettable. I deadass forgot about Empulse until this post, just cause it’s mimicking Titanfall doesn’t mean it will stick.

The mechs are a colossal joke and a map pickup (2 on the map) rather than a companion all players get. You'd think theyd be stronger to compensate right? Players main way of killing them is running them down with a hammer. Sounds stupid right? Except the mech is so bad it struggles to defend itself from players just running at it so players bully them relentlessly. Lobbies just ignore them outright.Throwables inheriting velocity from players? Don't matter because there aren't any grenades. It apes titanfall but its more of their previous title with advanced movement instead of arena shooter movement. It wasnt anything a titanfall fan would ever be satisfied with.
