    LawBreakers is more than good enough to foster a large community. Its zero gravity segments offer something that no other FPS can, and everywhere else it’s a solid, polished shooter. If you like the sound of it then I’d jump in now and build up some experience. That way, when ranked play launches, you’re ready to blast off.

It isSo if you played the beta you kind of know what you are getting into the game is a twitch shooter based around team work and mobility. It is a character based shooter so different characters have different play styles. For the release which just happened about five hours ago they have added a new hero. Nerfed and boosted some heroes to get a more equal playing field and added two new maps and a new game type. I have logged about 20 hours in the beta and have had a blast. Even when your team is down a bunch you can fight your way back to victory with a few lucky breaks. The gun play feels nice and weighty and the zero gravity areas on the maps adds for some interesting attacking a shooting dynamics. I think this game will end up being a great game and grow in content with each season like LOL or Rainbow Six Siege does. It is a great game and you are supporting a small studio.… Full Review »

Unlike Overwatch were the ult are really spammyThis is a really fast paced game if you have good aim you will do super well in this game. Unlike Overwatch were the ult are really spammy and can wipe out an entire team the game is far more balanced and isn't so rock paper shotgun type of play. If you enjoyed Quake or Unreal tournament back in the day then this type of game is for you. People who don't like this game seem to have a common theme of wanting to be babied like Overwatch does. You only get points for kills when you get the last hit and you can see how your team mates are doing. No group elimination gold medal stuff.… Full Review »

    NOT SOME OVERWATCH CLONE -

    LawBreaks is awesome it is the cure for having played to much Overwatch. Despite what you may have heard this game is no overwatch or team fortress 2 clone. If you had to classify it I would say it is a mash up of old school quake and team fortress combined with the gun play of newer modern warfare type games. The game consists of 5 player teams across a bunch of different maps. The game types are a couple variations of capture the flag, king of the hill and capture the point. Unlike a game like overwatch that is very dependent on a quality team make up in Lawbreakers you have still win with two players that don't know what to do and our playing the wrong character for the map. This is refreshing because you still have a chance to win even if you are down with half the objectives already claimed. Game typically last for about 10 minutes but on occasion against equally matched teams they can go for the entire 20 minutes. The gun play is very tight and the weapons feel weighty. As far as I can tell the netcode is running really well and the hit boxes are accurate to the character models. Right now I believe Wraith is a little OP given the range of his weapon and his speed but all characters are viable.

    Pros:
    1. Great gun play
    2. Good net code
    3. Quickly match into games
    4. All heroes viable across different game types
    5. Quality graphics
    6. Unique IP from small studio that plays like a AAA title
    7. Great game for teamwork
    8. Multiple routes to victory not a rock paper shotgun type of game
    9. Not pay to win
    10. Highly addicting gameplay.

    Cons:
    1. Blitz ball team can be carried by one player that knows the map and is playing a quick character
    2. Some heroes are less viable at higher levels of play

    Questions:

    1. What is the post beta anti hack going to be. Hope it is battleye.

    Overall this is a great game easy to learn but difficult to master even if your team is down you always feel like you can come back and possibly win.    … Full Review »
