    Ubisoft tried to make a battle royale game which could compete with modern day battle royale games like Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone. A nice attempt though the power-ups, weapon fusing system and unique world feel more like a gimmick then something unique.

A nice attempt though the power-ups, weapon fusing system and unique world feel more like a gimmick then something unique.

    The game overall runs very smoothly but doesn't really do anything other (or better) than all Battle Royale games already on the market. It's go in, get kills, survive till the end en hooray, you win, the same principle as every battle royale game basically. You'll have a variety of weapons at your disposal but some weapons feel insanely overpowered while others feel like they shoot whipped cream at your opponent, they do absolutely nothing. It's a matter of aim and how good you are in doing that but snipers are pretty useless in this game since everybody jumps around like the ground is lava. You'll need to be very lucky in order to even hit an opponent, let alone he doesn't turn around and hunts you down with one of the many overpowered weapons in the game.
    The power-ups you can find throughout the map have the same exact problem as the weapons, some feel overpowered and overused while other hardly do any damage or seem to work.

    For example, there's a power-up where you get into a ball and are able to jump around being immune to any sort of damage, one of the most overused power-ups in the game at the moment. While power-ups like invisibility hardly do anything because as soon as you get hit while invisible your power-up is gone and you have to wait for it to recharge (that is if you make it out of a gunfight alive). The ground slam, where you get launched into the air and slam the ground dealing damage, hardly does any damage and since 9 out of 10 players jump around all the time it's extremely hard to even hit someone with this.

    The feature where you can fuse weapons when you find duplicates is truly unique and a good thing at first, but it hardly does anything. You'll need to max out your weapon (find 4 duplicates of the same weapon) in order to even feel/ see the difference. Considering you're dropping in a zone with more players it's very unlikely you'll ever find 4 duplicates before entering the endgame (or dying).

    The gunfights in this game are just bad. They take extremely long, 9 out of 10 times you will lose sight of who you're shooting at, mainly because everyone smapns the jump button (if you dno't, you die instantly) and the hitboxes are extremely small.

    And lastly, the battle pass system is fine at first sight. Until you dicover the free track has Prime stuff in it. If you're unfamiliar what that is, it's basically stuff you'll only be able to get if you're a Twitch Prime member (which is a paid subsrciption). If you're like me and you do not want to pay for a battle pass (yet) you're not getting much from the free track other than some points and emblems. A really stupid move from Ubisoft in my opinion.

    Verdict: Hyper Scape is not a game that can't remotely compete with battle royale games like Fortnite or Call of Duty Warzone (and I don't play any of these, so I'm not fanboying or anything). As said in the beginning the features Hyper Scape has to make it unique feel more like a gimmick then an actual innovating experience. The game suffers from an extreme paywall in the battle pass (talking about the prime feature, not the paid track since every game nowadays has a battle pass) and cosmetics in the in-game store are very expensive.

    Overall, in my opinion, this game is not worth your time when there are Battle Royale games out there that do it so much better.    … Expand

    Lo unico bueno que le doy a este Battle Royale es que los gráficos son bonitos, la jugabilidad es terriblemente mala y las armas no tienen balance alguno.

    Extra: Los servidores son lamentables, ni siquiera se cuanto es la conexión a internet minima para jugar ya que siempre tengo el punto de conexión en rojo y al jugar otra cosa el ping esta estable.

    Awful aiming. Small hitboxes. Double jumping. Barely any aim assist. Very high health pools. All these combine to create really boring gunfights that last forever. Overall the game feels like more boring copy of Realm Royale, an already bad game. I’ll stick to Apex.

    Average. It's free to play, otherwise I'd probably won't like this game as much. It's just unique enough, and I did enjoy the skills just enough, to counter the negatives. The overall gameplay mechanics like shooting, traversal, loot, double jump, etc. are serviceable...but could be a lot better.

    I personally didn't like the cluster f of a map, everything looks the same, and there were no interesting landmarks. Gunfights are most of time hit or miss (more miss), very low damage and long ttk. People spam abilities before there about to die/escape is kind of agitating. (it's not agitiating when I do it though xD). Kind of like I like it when I do it, but I don't like it when the person i'm trying to kill is doing it. I never felt that way playing apex legends btw.

    To end, serviceable BR game. Overall gameplay is kind of unique, especially with the skill loot. It's also a very accessible game (easy to pick up, hard to master). Definitely not a bad game, it's also not the best BR game either...it's literally right in the middle of the pack.    … Expand

    -twitch prime rewards in the free pass.Like c'mon ubisoft,do you want to do special again like the quiet kid in class?
    -the biggest problem right now:the upgrade system and the hexfire
    pretty much everyone uses hexfire because it sprays super easily and has an insane ttk.The game already has small hitboxes,which cause this gun to be superior to the ripper and the harpy(even though the ripper can be usefull at times as well).Also the upgrade system can use some improvement,if you come up against people with legendary loot ,you have a really low chance to win .
    -right now (what i have seen) the crown users exploit the game by using legendary hacks like the ball one or the invurnabilty one,you pretty much can't catch them unless you have legendary guns.

    conclusion:The game has a long way to go in terms of balance and ubisoft showed it's greed again in the battle pass,but overall the game is a lot of fun,and if you like high paced shooters,this game is for you!    … Expand

    compared to apex legends it lacks the personality (of the characters, of the guns and of the world). ok, it is more dynamic because of the double jump, but... that's it. it has got no soul. but it's free, so why am i complaining? i'll play a bit more when it's out of beta...

Moreover, there's also some unique Battle Royal elements that I think are worthy of good notes like: the end game capture the crown mechanic and "revive" a moving dead teammates. The Bad:
    Not so much to say other than that the game can feel stale quite fast with its limited selection of weapons and map design. Also much of the PVP encounters I face don't feel so much had were in the realm of like skill vs skill play but more so who had the flashier ability equipped at the time. The presentation of the game is interesting, yet not much substance in gameplay when it comes down to it playing match after match. Still, I had a little fun with what's been built so far, hopefully Ubisoft can continue with this foundation for something a little more engrossing. For right now, I might return to the game at a later time.    … Expand

    A game with so much potential, but no execution.

    Hyper Scape went very much under the radar for me, I knew it’s name and that it was a battle royale but other than that, nothing. So when you see the big opening cinematic, which largely resembles the Oasis from Ready Player One, I was very excited, and while this game of shines full of potential otherwise It goes downhill from there.

So when you see the big opening cinematic, which largely resembles the Oasis from Ready Player One, I was very excited, and while this game of shines full of potential otherwise It goes downhill from there.

    After the amazing opening cinematic, the game throws you into to what I can only describe as a hub world, except it’s not a world. It’s a rather small enclosed space with lots of doors that take you to different menus. I get that they were trying to do something different and I have to commend them for doing so. However, it is just annoying that you can’t just navigate them like normal menus and have to take a 10 second walk to each screen.

    Then once you go into the actual games you only have the usual options of team or solo modes. But no matter which mode you try and play you will spend a good 5 minutes going between loading screens and the lobby area being stuck running around and emoting.

    I have one PSA about this game, do not play this game solo! It does not give this game any credit and you miss out on so many features of this game. Play this game in trios no matter what, then you are able to get the full experience of this game. Playing Hyper Scape solo is boring unoriginal and repetitive. Playing this in trios becomes much more exciting with the death function that makes this game feel original and innovative, when you die you become back as a holographic figure who can be revived at areas where people have died previously in the game. You are able to run around and be able to ping enemies and loot.

    The gameplay in this game is fast and frantic which I really enjoyed. The fusion technique for upgrading weapons is fun and innovative and gets rid of lots of left over weapons and perks.

    The gunplay in this game is mediocre at best. The variety of guns is very good and they all look really good but the actual PvP fights make the guns feel boring they have no real idiosyncrasies and the vibration is nearly none existent and don’t feel powerful or different in many ways.

    Overall this game has a great amount of potential but so far it hasn’t reached that potential. That said, the game has just released so it will likely get a lot better and I think I will keep playing it sporadically to see if it gets any better.

    Hyper Scape has promise, but it’s just so infuriating to play due to poor aiming controls. Some don’t seem to have a problem with it, as I see other PS4 players racking up kills all the time. Still, it’s better to wait and play something else until this gets fixed.

    Whilst Hyper Scape has some interesting ideas that make for fun and thrilling gameplay scenarios, the game does very little to stand out amongst its competitors. Although it is lacking in personality and lore, future updates could allow Hyper Scape to carve out an identity of its own. However, currently, it will do little to pull you away from your preferred battle royale game, and if you're not a fan of the genre, it won't make you a believer.
