I wonder how many of the 37K people playing now are actually real and not bots the publisher is using to fluff the numbers. Maybe I've become overly cynical but at this point I assume there's already a "LowSodiumTheDayBefore" subreddit, and a bunch of accounts posting that "stop having FUN" comic on social media and claiming they have no issues with the game and that everyone who criticizes it is entitled, and screenshots of text-generated death threats being spammed to the developers, and a pre-written "please bear with us" letter

Played the game for an hour and can confirm it's bad! Not terrible.. Just poor combat, systems, gameplay loops and server performance. I think even if it was polished I just wouldn't like the concept they're going for. Dying very easily and loosing everything just isn't for me!

I wonder if EA automatically brings in negative reviews even if the game is somewhat enjoyable?

Genuinely asking, not a fan of EA in any way. I won't buy this game but 22% seems atrociously low.

Watched the Nezar livestream and he spent 60% of his stream spamming refresh and trying to get a server. Sounds like they had capacity planning issues. Apart from that it looks like a relatively vanilla extraction shooter.
