    This game would be the most fun I've had in a long time if not for the lack of balance. Clearly a game developer had a lot of great ideas for the new characters. Suggestions like these must have sent to a lead designer:
    - "Let's create homing ammunition does a lot of damage"
    - "A small hit box should make a character a different challenge" - An ability that can transform groups of    This game would be the most fun I've had in a long time if not for the lack of balance.

    - An ability that can transform groups of enemies into goats would be great fun"
    - "Why not have an ability that makes the character immortal nearly instantly? Naturally the same sorcery should enable the character to cause explosions while it lasts"
    - "Having the capability of slowing characters and stopping all channelled skills would spice things up!"
    - "Plants also need someone to build a teleporter"

    All these brilliant capabilities were unfortunately given to the same character, Rose.

    Pros:
    So much potential
    New maps
    New classes and varieties
    Single player
    Chomper is better now
    Maps with huge variety
    Cons:
    Always online DRM
    Not balanced at all - especially Rose but also zombies from GW1
    Menus are obviously intended for console rather than PC
    Issues with AMD cards - simple fix
    Quest system is bad - ALL players have the same daily quests
    Character upgrades requires lots of farming
    A few bugs
    Much more chaotic combat
    Quickly regenerating to full health takes camping to a whole new level    … Expand

    This game has balancing issues and the fact the ui is ported from consoles makes it super annoying to play on pc. I simply cant give this game a very good score and have to agree with canie

    Very bad and strange that EA cut off local coop for PC version only. Bought this game only for local coop. Many other game development studios are aware of some part of PC user own gamepad and not even one.

    Pretty trash Game, too much microtransactions, bad and boring Gameplay.
    Feels like a bad Version of Overwatch.

    I played it with a Friend and after 30 Minutes I already was completely bored of the Game.

    This game is rigged to favor players who pay the most money in microtransactions. You pay full price for the game, then if you want to stand a fair chance in multiplayer, you gotta pay even more. This coming from a fairly skilled player.

You pay full price for the game, then if you want to stand a fair chance in multiplayer, you gotta pay even more. This coming from a fairly skilled player. The game intentionally screws you out of kills or it artificially bolsters your ability to get them; things like altering your movement speed, preventing your abilities from triggering or cranking up the aim sensitivity when making last moment adjustments before blasting off a zpg or shuck shot, making your imp punt overshot an enemy right in front of you or itll just stall on the ground 2 inches from where you kicked it, deliberately teleporting you or other characters into or out of a projectile's trajectory. Sometimes projectiles go right through enemies causing no damage, other times you vanquish people who just spawned with (obviously) full health in 2-3 low damage shots. The scripted interference goes both ways. There are times I've tested just to see the reticle chase an enemy across the screen while unloading on them hitting every shot without even touching the joysticks. There are so many times where you dont see an enemy until your dead or it's obvious an enemy can't see you acting completely oblivious as you slaughter them. The game is rigged, BAD, right now and not fun at all because of it. If it was actually FAIR without interference from EA's "dynamic difficulty adjustment/monetization" scripts it would be a blast, 10/10. But the way it is now is infuriating, it sucks, 1/10. Plan on it being even worse in gw3. EA destroys every franchise it touches.… Expand

    A generic and boring Team Fortress clone. Do yourself a favor and play Team Fortress 2 instead which is much better and a lot more fun and doesn´t feel like cash-grabbing trash.

    The colourful visuals, fun and varied characters, the range of play modes and the collection aspect with the game packs will continue to keep gamers of all ages entertained for hours.

    Characters and decorations are so colorful and lively that they fall just a few inches short of Pixar standards. It’s impossible to play GW2 with a hardcore competitive mindset, but it’s a great specimen of “shooters for all family”. [Issue#207, p.64]

    It's fun, beginner-friendly and thanks to the addictive level-up mechanics it offers lots of replay value, too.
