    They shouldn't allow us to play pvp since beginning. The game itself is a mess. Need pve mode to let us to practice. We shouldn't choose heros without understanding nothing too.

    First off i'm not going to compare this game to Overwatch. They are completely different games. The problems I see with Lawbreakers are easily fixable, but probably won't ever be addressed. First of all the Heroes are ugly and uninteresting, i know this is is just a nit picky point of view and this doesn't affect my score. Second, the Heroes don't feel like they fill the role they should.First off i'm not going to compare this game to Overwatch. They are completely different games. The problems I see with Lawbreakers are easily fixable, but probably won't ever be addressed. First of all the Heroes are ugly and uninteresting, i know this is is just a nit picky point of view and this doesn't affect my score. Second, the Heroes don't feel like they fill the role they should. Sure you have a medic with healing orbs, but overall everyone just feels like dps. There is no difference between the dps, healer, and tank classes. Balancing is completely abandoned right now. The wraith, assassin, and gunslinger dominate the game, seeing as they do so much damage and they movement speed is a blur. Compare that to a class like the the Juggernaut which has less mobility, less damage, and barely more health it just seems unfair. The pacing is also an issue. The game is a chaotic mess when your in a match. You get no breathing room to recover from a 1v1 or anything. You kill, you die immediately after, they die after killing you, and so on and so forth. It's an endless loop of madness in cramped maps that are too small for fast paced objective missions. There is a game mode where you have to fight for a ball in the middle and bring it to the enemies side to score. The Wraith class can literally (no exaggeration) pick up the ball and be in the enemies base in less than 3 seconds. I promise that is not exaggerated. THAT IS REAL!! half the time i can't keep track of enemies, or my own team and i end up looking around in circles. You never really know what's happening in the game, and i'm already driving myself to the point of rambling.

    game is 4/10 it has potential, but falls flat with Heroes roles don't effect the gameplay, everyone is pretty much dps, horrible pacing, cramped maps, and horrendous balancing issues. Game could potentially go somewhere if they slowed it down, made the maps a little larger, and made your supportive heroes feel supportive to the team. as of right now this game is a hero based call of duty game, and not the good call of duties, but infinite warfare call of duty. Please fix this game ClffyB, you have such a legacy to live up to.    … Expand

    this was not what i expected. It has no personality like overwatch. and its not like unreal tournament. Doom was more like unreal tournament. Its all over the place. I thought i was going to love the game. But i rather play overwatch. So i am going to wait and see if this game is going to evolve over time.

    I had high hopes for this game. However, it just doesn't hold up to the hype. It gets repetitive rather quickly and after about 30 mins, I just lost interest. Wish I would have waited for the reviews, lesson learned. Save your money people.

    It tries so hard to jump on the overwatch train or be unique that it fails on almost every REALLY important things like FUN, PLAYABILITY, .... The Servers of this mess will die out in a year or so and that's it. People are more and more turning their backs on multiplayer games and go back to story driven singel player experiences. Avoid at all cost.

    This game advertises crazy gravity and air battles but the majority of the time you are indoors, slowly capping a small point, or going to heal in a closet that takes forever. Just go to any Twitch stream to see how the game actually plays, do not believe the bullshots and trailers. Don't take my word for it, check yourself.

    Is this what passes for a game nowadays ? Boring, repetitive and a money waster. I need to remind myself about pre-ordering - don't do it ! The only one who benefits from it is the developer.

    I wanted a good fast paced game, what I got was rather disappointing... bugs, low user base. Every sign of a game dead at launchSorry to say but is true

    So when they made this game did they even mention the word fun? or even the word playability? lawbreakers is a failure on every level that i am baffled that it made it out of dev with how it is

    Requested a refund because it is the worst attempt at a shooter i have ever seen. The anti gravity zones are stupid, the operators are jacked up, and the game just isnt fun. If you like getting killed by super fast little kids hoped up on adderall then be my guest. I dont think this game will go anywhere. Good luck

    Probably one of the worst shooters we have been given in years. The game is very buggy, lot's of clipping and screen tearing. Slow loading times and is horrible compared to games like Unreal Tournament. Pass on this game and save yourself some money until we get it free with PS Plus.

    LawBreakers delivers in terms of neat weapons, lightning-fast kills, and aspirational skills. You’ll look back in awe at performing feats like landing a triple kill while blasting yourself backwards into a zero-g environment. Despite the adrenaline-fueled highs, the title falls back to earth due to uninteresting environments, generic characters, and a lack of variety.

    Despite my many grievances, once I actually learned how to play the game, I did have fun. However, getting to that level of competence was certainly not helped by the game in any way, shape or form and as it becomes more and more difficult to find matches online as the weeks go by, I can’t help but wonder if it’s even worth it to take a risk boarding what may very well be a sinking ship.

    A very interesting 'hero shooter' that delivers a classic core gameplay with a modern twist. It does have some issues but we've had a great time playing it, and if you're looking something different you should give it a try.
