    Although Loadout's humour, ridiculousness, endless weapon modification, and graphics are well-done, there are some things that impede the game, however.

    The UI, first off, is absolutely abysmal.

    The UI, first off, is absolutely abysmal. To go back to the top menu, the current menu must be closed by using the circle button, and then to navigate THAT menu it's only for the left and right d-pads. Additionally, the pause menu is equally as trash; to change an option, lets say sensitivity, pressing X will send the cursor to the bottom-most option and it forces you to go up to change your desired settings.

    Controls feel very clunky. The game feels as if the control stick sensitivity option doesn't affect the movement very much. The PC version is better, having played it a while back.

    The free-to-play model forces the developers to implement microtransactions in order to keep the game alive. They say this game is not pay-to-win, as Spacebux is optional and its used to buy cosmetics. Unless it's a bug, could you please explain why there are Spacebux prices on the Weaponcrafting menus?

    Also, why is everything in the game so weak? The beginner rifle, at max, does at least 6 damage per shot. The word 'weak' doesn't do it justice in this case. The enemy bots that players go up against with seems to have much better weaponry, despite being at almost the same level.

    Loadout is an okay game despite it flaws. Hey, at least it's playable right?    … Expand

    Another in a seemingly endless line of arena based shooters Loadout has solid controls, as well as plenty of options and game modes, but if you've ever played any game in this genre before it offers absolutely nothing new.

    It's TF2. If you've played and enjoyed a Team Fortress title, you'll feel right at home here. The only difference is if you really want to maintain a competitive edge, you'll have to pay for it. Think Warframe "freemium" style and you'll have a good idea of what to expect. It's not terrible, but misses some of the nuance its big brother has.

It's not terrible, but misses some of the nuance its big brother has. This is mostly a gib-fest, probably meant for young teens that focus less on solid mechanics and more on how many chunks they make when they shoot you with a rocket launcher. For all that, it isn't terrible, some of the animations are funny as hell and using the taunts to accelerate captures provides some classic group taunting moments. That's about it though, honestly. If you're a die hard shooter fan you may find yourself right at home. If you're looking for the finesse of a high-class shooter however, look elsewhere. Taper your expectations for Loadout and you may be pleasantly surprised...I wasn't, but that's just one man's opinion. 6/10, one extra point for the "free-to-play" option.… Expand

    - pay to win
    - not as interesting to grind as other games
    it is good but blacklight ,cs go, planetside 2 are better options if you look for a free shooter

    lots of stuff you have to pay for, i will just say. I am glad it is free to play and now im done playing it. good to try out, possibly with friends, otherwise there is a lot better stuff on the horizon or out there already that i dont see this being worth any adults time.

    it would have a much lower score if it wasn't a free download. the gore is quite funny, the dancing amusing but the UI itself is hard to work with. enjoyable in short bursts.

    What can I say really. Well to start off fee to play should be FREE TO PLAY. Do they care, no. All they care for is money. I remember when it came out to PC. I loved it. Then I heard it will be for ps4 so I got it. It is the same.....no wait its not. They take things away from creation. To get what you like, you have TO BUY THEM. I'm so sick of getting screwed by company's. Get the PCWhat can I say really. Well to start off fee to play should be FREE TO PLAY. Do they care, no. All they care for is money.

    On one side, the free to play mechanics ultimately get into the inevitable grinding, which could bother some. On the other hand, gameplay can be loads of fun, and the irony is sincere.

    Loadout isn’t a bad game; there just isn’t much to it. If you’re worried about how a PC game translates to the PS4 controller, you’ll be happy to hear there are minimal issues. The control isn’t perfect, though, and despite the better part distribution system, there isn’t much to talk about aside from weapon crafting.

    Loadout isn’t some new breed of free-to-play, but it does a very entertaining job of balancing what you can play with when you can pay. Being a low level isn’t painfully boring, and gaining experience or good weapons doesn’t require real money.
