    I think every game should have a focus. What do the developers want the people to experience and enjoy? In this game, it seems like they wanted a team-based shooter with some added elements of PvE and leveling up thrown in. Fine. But then the developers didn't give you teamchat, voice chat, vote-kick.

In this game, it seems like they wanted a team-based shooter with some added elements of PvE and leveling up thrown in. Fine. But then the developers didn't give you teamchat, voice chat, vote-kick. They didn't put in systems to deal with griefers or people who simply want to play the game as a generic FPS and ignore their team members. In summary, the game isn't set up to take advantage of what is supposed to be the focus. Maybe one day they will fix it. But I wouldn't hold my breath.… Expand

    I never got into a match and I tried for 7 days. Here is a video from just one of those days to prove how bad this is. https://youtu.be/fHoyM-9rNVg

    Runs like a potato was stuck inside my CPU. Serious graphical issues with loading from a hard drive and runs at a lower framerate than any other shooter i have played at max graphics on my 2080ti. Game lacks graphical settings, Has a poor ingame HUD and load times are longer than desired. The game lacks a lot of polish and maybe should be considered to be in the Alpha stages ofRuns like a potato was stuck inside my CPU.

A poor attempt from Amazon as their first delve into gaming. Only redeeming factors are that the universe seems unique, 3rd person camera is unusual in games like this and the character designs are fun and interesting. I would recommend maybe giving this game another go in a few years time but for now completely avoid it.… Expand

    Characters have a nice design, but the game is just boring and feels absolutely bland.

    You know how Amazon Music compares to Spotify? The basics are there but its absolutely not viable for everyday use. That's Crucible.
    They saw games like League, OW and the like, apparently thought we want a piece of that! Then they proceeded to created a horrible Frankensteins Monster abomination.
    This game is truly made for the year 2020. It sucks!

    The game is still beta but they patched in a store and shoved it out as "pre-season". There is only one map and its okay at best there are 3 game mode and zero info for new play. Oh but dont worry there isnt any voice or text chat to help any new players because they remove that so there wont be any toxicity forget giving the option to mute it they do that for you.

The heros are unbalanced the servers are horrible the matchmaking is slow and the loading in time/respawn will have you watching a menu rather then playing the game. Give this a pass maybe they will learn how to release a game in the future.… Expand

    Really bad. Looks that amazon have no idea how to make a game, and the problem it is not money.

    It's one example of too much going on in a game that is crammed with ideas, borrowed and new, all fighting for attention. [Issue#347, p.92]

    As far as a first entry into the "big leagues" of gaming goes, Amazon fails to impress, and Crucible's stark lack of originality and flair prevent it from standing out amongst the competition. Crucible is a fine game, but that's it. At the moment, the devs have extended the "pre-season" to begin working on some of the basics and addressing feedback.

    Beautiful scenery, strong characters, and inventive mechanics give Crucible a solid foundation - one undermined by poor communication between players and from Relentless Studios.
