    Really wanted a unique experience as was promised with the trailer but instead it's just another battle royale game deep rock galactic delivers on all the promises that this game should be. Battle royale genre is not a good fit for the cycle.

    Easily the worst ftp i played all year. Aids-like matchmaking system, after the tutorial i tried one game, got matched up against players that had fully upgraded gear and skins, at least 5-10 levels above me (0). The devs encourage these players by lack of nerfs and patches to fix these gameplay issues

    Dead game, with nice mechanics. No players, no lobby, waiting around one hour for the game. The game was really promising two years ago, I feel very enjoyed when I see the changes. But lack of players forced me to uninstall and re-start looking for another game. Sorry, I'm not gonna back again. gg no re.

    the fundemantal mechanics of the game are just bad. They lure you with PVE but to be succesfull in this game you have to PVP all the time. Basically just camp some newbie players,idealy ones in a pact and kill them right before they can finish an objective. Everyone does that and you will get sick of the game once you beat 10 waves of enemies just to be one shotted while picking up athe fundemantal mechanics of the game are just bad.

    Was hoping to find something fresh and different from the overdone mayhem that is the battle royale genre. But alas, it's just one more in disguise.

    The scenery is quite good looking. The map is pretty much the same, with dynamically changing objectives. And the mobs have interesting mechanics to keep you constantly moving and aware. But that's it. The lack of depth in the quests is disappointing. You can craft weapons, only to have to buy them ingame, with credits... And the match making is laughable.

    if you're looking for a somewhat entertaining FPS with quests in between, this might be for you.
    Otherwise, your time is better spent gaming on something else.    … Expand

    The game's ideas are actually pretty good, but aren't well executed. They could have made a very innovative Battle Royale but weren't capable of doing so.

    For people trying to know if this game is good, simply get the idea that it has "new" mechanics to the Battle Royale genre, only its a horrible mess, so confusing that the tutorial is barely useful. Simply don't play it

    This game looked like it had actual promise advertising PvE as well as a touch of PvP. It is just not fun though, it looks good in the sense of graphics but the concept is pretty boring.

I would rather be playing Warcraft 3 Reforged or something, if that doesn't say anything I don't know what does.… Expand

    The Idea of such a shooter is good, the engine and graphics are OK.

    But. Time to kill is the worst shooter I've played in the last 5 years. For a long, boring, boring, stupid, there is no problem to escape.

    There's nothing new here. A battle royale co-op with side objectives such as kill mobs & collect things. The graphics & tone of the story seem ripped off of Borderlands. The gun play is limited & movement of the player is like a slow version of Destiny/Destiny2. It seems alight for a free game but one look in the shop section & you can see it's pay to win.

It seems alight for a free game but one look in the shop section & you can see it's pay to win. Match making isn't that great, I was very under powered as a level 1 starting a new match with 20 players quickly realized that 18 of them had better equipment & much higher level than me. I still managed to come 13th simply by hiding from the other players & completing side objectives. The 2nd match was very similar to the first match. I gave this a 4 simply because the maps are quite large & the graphics are nice. I can't give it more than that though as the game isn't doing anything new & had more than a few bugs such as CTDs, failing to load matches, bad matchmaking, failing to switch weapons & long loading times.… Expand

    After to have played 80 hours in the season 1 i can say this game is really bad, the only positive thing is the graphics but the game play is terrible

    You die from brushing against walls, from dropping 20cm, from glitching through or getting stuck in stones or even bushes.
    You spawn in one side of the map, have to travel in ultra slowmotion to the other side all while your footsteps are so loud that the only thing you are sure to extract with, is PTSD.
    Frustrating, broken and pathetic to sum it up.

    Sad to see an otherwise fun and polished game get thrown into the toilet from a developer who has no idea what their players want, and obviously do not care.
    Insulting and discarding thousands of fans for the first game, to try and mimic a game that is allready made several times before, and each time much better than this pathetic attempt.    … Expand

    A sloppy pay-to-win title with a couple of unique but wasted ideas. Another forgotten battle royale for the collection.
