    Call of Duty: Black Ops has more character than this joke of a game. Playing this was a wast of time.

    The game was fun while it lasted. Sadly it is dead now. I hate how Bosskey didn't listen to their userbase. It would still be alive if they did

    The death of this game came because of the undeserved praise and comparisons Overwatch gets to it so called "fun gameplay".

    I am the type of novice reviewer that atleast knows when a game is good or bad.
    And BOTH games are not bad and are VERY ...(wait for the plot twist) different.
    SHOCKING, I know.

    Let's review this shall we ?

    The vision behind game:
    Lawbreakers is a FPS CLASS (not HERO) based shooter mainly focused around skill and fast pace movement.
    There is little to none of back story for the game because it's entire investment was around.. well the GAMEplay.

    Execution:
    The gameplay is amazing. Fast pace and responsive. Each class can stand on it's own against any other class. The good thing about this game is that I never get killed easily by casuals.
    Skill is the key to enjoy this game, and that's what I like. However, this does make casuals, unisntall the game after ten minutes, making the player base much smaller compared to other games that try to be casual friendly.
    The only flaws to game is the objectives.
    They're simply not suitable for this type of game expect maybe one or two.

    Summary:
    A good game that probably should have gone F2P from start.
    If you try to maintain playerbase with hardcore gamers only, you should know that in era, we are not many.
    Most are average players and the huge amount of the gaming community are casuals.
    The typical consumer expects more than just 5 types of matches and fast paced movement (unless you're a big company....).
    Anywho , good game but much like Battleborn, it was born on the wrong era of gaming.
    Try this game if you're an average gamer, most players are in that same level too.    … Expand

    Despite this game releasing at the wrong time and Cliff B abandoning it, it's now a free 2 play title.

    What are my thoughts now after free 2 play? Well, now that I can actually play it and not seeing other people play it. Cliff B should have put LawBreakers around a $10 price tag because $30 was asking for too much for a game that was competing with Overwatch in its prime.

    Note that, Boss Key Productions was shutdown by Cliff B. The servers for Lawbreakers will probably only be active for a few months (or until the year ends, who knows) and you will probably see 0 updates/support/DLC. So play until the servers go down or until Cliff B says something else on Twitter. Maybe the community can bring this game back now with it being free 2 play and Cliff B can see that via the Steam Charts.

    Is it good? Yes, but good different. It's a nice change of pace from the trash Call of Duty series.

    This is not actually a proper review, just played for 5 or 6 hours, but I've asked for the opinion of some of the community on Reddit, and I have my own ideas on the game, this is what I've sum up, and there's a lot to talk about this game if you have the time and patience to listen.

    Lawbreakers it's a twitch arena FPS that tries to emulate that old Quake stile games based on skills and map knowledge.

    Pretty much there's no story in this game, at least one that makes any sense, so let's forget about that. For most players that's not important, but I have to mention that. Even the characters have no backstories and are kinda undifferentiated, and most times I didn't even know if I was one of the good or bad guys.

    It has a good number of maps, but they are almost all very similar and not very exciting. Generically they all follow the same scheme, a flanking route and an in your face straightforward path to the objective that usually is in a central open low gravity field. There was one exception that I've loved, Vertigo map that was so open and allowed me so much more strategical options that I could spend an entire day just playing that one.

    Graphics are vibrant, with a large spectrum of colors without being childish or cartoonish, but sometimes it's a bit confusing when we are engaged in a mid to long range 1v1.

    I've liked the sounds from weapons, they are distinct, but sometimes I had some trouble distinguishing the hitmakers from the other sounds around.

    2 – GAMEPLAY

    As usual in the genre we play a 5v5 team match. The game modes are more or less the same from other games, except blitzzball where we have to do something similar so score goals, but it's essentially another capture the flag with a twist. We have 9 characters each one with different roles. They are quite distinct and they've seemed balanced. Even the community didn't mention overpowered classes when I

    discuss the game in reddit, so that seems not to be an issue. It's easy to try them out and quickly you will understand witch one you like the most.

    The key feature about this game is the low gravity fights, and when you get the hang of those they are quite cool and satisfying. Really thumbs up here. Also, the skill cap to master this feature is quite high. Not so high as I was expecting, but even so we are easily played around by a more experienced player, and that's how it should be. Despite that is quite easy to get into the game and take fun out of him.

    When the low grav is so important in a game I found strange that most times the choke points are inside small rooms where we are permanently hitting the ceiling and objects, making the battles chaotic and sometimes disorientating. On most maps the objective is inside a room, and the playerbase is so small that any try to make a custom match just to choose the maps will end up in a empty match. It's annoying.

    Now the game has a competitive mode, but maybe too little, too late. I've queued several times, two or three times for over five minutes without being able to find a match, so I was unable to play any competitive game whatsoever in this free trial.

    That leaves us with quickplay. Almost zero communication and teamplay, but also almost any toxicity that I've noticed.

    3 – CONCLUSION

    Lawbreakers is quite a good game. Gameplay is rather good, it has good game modes, well designed characters and team roles, well balanced. Easy to get into, very mechanically rewarding, since the better players will almost always outperform worse ones.

    What went wrong then?

    The game does not have much content at the time, and even I noticed that it can become boring quite quickly.

    Despite being good and balanced the game does not excels in nothing particularly, so people had stick around their previous games. The genre is now oversaturated and players need something outstanding to change for their main titles, just the overall quality of gameplay is not enough nowadays.

    For a newcomer is not easy to find balanced matches because there's no matchmaking, just a match balance. In the other team it will surely be a good player that will dominate all newcomers, that will not have a proper learning curve. There's no kill cam so you have no chance to learn with your mistakes, and believe me when I say that half of the times you will not understand how someone killed you. It's hard for a casual, that will learn even slowly.

    Now people like the loot and shiny stuff, and Lawbrakers' crates give uninteresting stuff, seems there's no shiny reward for our effort.

    It seems also that at some point changes were made to the game that annoyed original players. That didn't work well. Even assuming that the changes where overall good, they have upset the current players that left, and didn't attracted new players to the game, since the player count was quite low.

    Well, not enough characters left. tl;dr, just give this game some love guys!    … Expand

    Cliffy B retreads Unreal (one of the "dime-a-dozen" arena shooters of the 90's that he also worked on) with some minor tweaks. It's a short-term entertainer at best. Gears was a great game/series followed by Bulletstorm. Which was fun, but it felt lacking in many areas, especially the MP that Bleszinsky claimed was going to shake up MP gaming.

No. This is not a franchise like Overwatch, The characters are mostly generic badasses (with some notable exceptions like Nash and Maverick) and the visual style, while very nice, is a little generic overall. But if you want fast and fresh gameplay, you've got that in Lawbreakers. You've got it out the arse.

    Combat is fast, very fast, if you've never played an AFPS like UT or Quake before, you'll be smashed. You need fast reflexes and the ability to **** aim at fast moving targets to even be competent in this game.

    This means that ultimately Lawbreakers is not for everyone, and it will slowly grow over time but it will never be a behemoth like Overwatch because it's simply too hard. It's a niche game and if you're in that niche, you'll love it. Otherwise, this might not be for you.

    Matches are still easy to find though. On average I queue about 20-30 seconds to find a game and if it goes longer then one minute just requeue and you'll find a new match easy. Even with the low player count, no one is just letting the game sit idle right now.

    This being said there are some issues. Firstly the voice chat in the game depends on Discord and often does not work properly. Also there is no ability to switch teams in a casual game, something that it is largely agreed should be in the game. Finally you can't join a group or invite someone to join one without returning to the main menu. A minor issue but it is annoying.

    Either way it's a well balanced (yes really, if you know how to play) and decently polished game that makes up for what it lacks in presentation with some incredible gameplay. Solid game at a cheap price too at well under standard RRP. I paid $60 AUD for the preorder pack after playing the beta for a while and even that is about $30 cheaper then the average launch price.    … Expand

Takes a couple hours to warm up to. It's honestly faster/more interesting to learn the classes by playing them one by one instead of watching the video tutorials.

    LawBreakers is a very good online shooter that distinguishes itself with a couple of original, spot-on ideas. What makes it trail behind Overwatch are disappointingly forgettable characters. [10/2017, p.46]

    LawBreakers' most important element is the strong, tight gameplay that conveys the feeling of a classic shooter in a modern package. But the rest of the game disappoints with uninteresting characters and maps, not a lot of options and just a few modes.

    No matter what comes next, Lawbreakers is a success. It's proof, among other things, that veteran design talent really does mean something - and that the shooters of the late '90s still have something to teach the modern game industry. This is more than nostalgia: it's a paean to the genre's potential, performed by people who know it well. [Issue#311, p.104]
