    The Cycle: Frontier is a game that has a great foundation for the future. The PvPvE shooter shows no mercy. Other players will try to steal your loot and the only thing you can do is either run away and hopefully lose them or fight back and kill them before they kill you. The feeling when extracting after a tough run is phenomenal. A recommendation for anyone who’s looking for a free PvPvE shooter. However, the game also has still a couple of issues, which need to be fixed.

    This interesting free-to-play shooter set on an intriguing alien planet can be immensely satisfying or (more often) painfully frustrating depending on how you fare and how well you manage your equipment and finances in the face of losing everything you’re carrying upon death.

    Mostly flash with very little substance. The incredible graphics and overall design draw you in but there’s not much to keep you there.

    The Cycle: Frontier is well-polished but undone by tedium and a lack of imagination.

    There’s a great game somewhere inside The Cycle, and lush world design, clever environmental layout, and solid gun feel all point towards it. Unfortunately, it’s all rendered into tedious, cynical nonsense by a mobile-game style approach to progression and monetisation, and a thin, repetitive core loop.

    Game is a solid 9 but deserves a 10 to balance out the CoD kids and biased journalist reviews giving it a 0-3

    Ттк вдвое больше даже чем в апексе, я минут 10 кругами бегал под плотным обстрелом двух пати по 3 человека и не умирал. Очень мало шансов перестрелять двоих.
    Нет смысла выполнять задания фракций, потому что они ничего полезного не дают, кроме рецептов крафта обвесов. Они по сути и не нужны, того арсенала, что выдают на старте, с головой хватает на кучу забегов. В этой игре буквально интереснее собирать баги, чем дрoчить квесты.
    Игроки спавнятся примерно в одних и тех же местах, поэтому многие пати бегают по спотам и убивают всех на старте.
    На релизе остались все технические проблемы беты: крашится звук, рандомно просаживается фпс и тд.    … Expand

    Tiene varios puntos fuertes como debiles, su apartado grafico es hermoso, las areas y monstruos al cual enfrentarse. Pero en cuanto al gamplayTiene varios puntos fuertes como debiles, su apartado grafico es hermoso, las areas y monstruos al cual enfrentarse. Pero en cuanto al gamplay se vuelve repetitivo y frustrante, ya que tiene una barrera muy grande para los casuales y los que se meten de lleno a este tipo de juegos al cual calificaria como Looter-Shooter, similar a Scape from tarkov de ir a un mapa pelear contra otros jugadores y saquear algo en lo posible.

    La dificultad es alta ya que de dos o hasta un tiro te matan perdiendo horas o dias de progreso, siendo un calvario para aquellos que no tiene 24 horas al dia para jugar. Volviendo de Cero de nuevo. Cuando entras al juego el tutorial es bastante basico y te muestra que el juego es sensillo, y podria ser divertido pero cuando entras al juego real es totalmente distinto. Debes estar pendiente en cada momento y cada ruido llegando a ser estrezante, llegando al nivel donde uno puede llegar a temblar por el miedo. Puede que sea su punto fuerte el Masoquismo del jugador. Ya que al entrar en un Mapa al cual por el momento hay dos y son bastante pequeños con un loot escaso, el mapa es para 16 jugadores y estos podrian caerte en cualquier momento ensima; Ya que cuando uno entra aparece en una "Nave" donde hay altas probabilidades que otro jugador aparesca cerca de ti y te mate al comenzar, teniendo unos "5 segundos de juego". Si pudiste avanzar algo por el mapa tendras que llegar a un punto de extraccion al cual el ruino y el avizo por una nave gigante hara que gran parte de los jugadores vayan a matarte y saquearte lo poco y nada que pudiste recolectar, una vez que la nave aterriza debes esperar un tiempo de un minuto aproximadamente al cual si no estas dentro de la nave te dejara tirado y tendras que llamar nuevamente a una si es que no te mato la propia nave.

    En cuanto al PVE es algo dificil ya que hay enemigos que tienen puntos debiles que debes dañarles con armas que no les haran ni cosquillas. Y el ruido atraera nuevamente a mas jugadores.

    Es un Juego que merece ser pulido bastante, al ser un juego nuevo tendria que cambiar muchos aspectos ya que tambien posee dos monedas de paga, para mantener tus objetos o comprar cosmeticos. Ademas de que los servidores caen de vez en cuando o te hecha de una partida perdiendo todo tu progreso.    … Expand

Somehow, I couldn't hear enemy walking steps at all- they just kept suddenly popping up and ruining my day. When I shoot somebody I can see a shield icon and it feels like I do zero damage. But when someone else shoots me, 1 shot is enough to decrease my health by half. Feels bad, man.… Expand

You lose your inventory realy often dua of bugs like, you start a run with your loadout and as soon as you attack a monster etc. you get kicked out to the hub and you lose everything you had in your inventory. The map is very small because there are toooo many people on this map. Several people drop view steps away from you all the time. You even can see them land next to you. It is almost impossible not to meet another player and 90% of the time, you have to fight a team. This game is not for a solo player.

    Weight system is really a joke. You have a save stash to keep items when you die BUT it starts at 5 KG. Almost nothing weighs less than 5KG so it's almost totally useless. Have you ever seen a pistol that has a weight of 20KG ? Yeah this game is filled with trash ideas like that.

    Also there are many many cheater in this game. Been killed by cheater several times by now.
    There are wipes that wipe everything you do in this game. So playing this game makes really no sense at all... I mean why playing it? When you lose everything you do.    … Expand
