I wasn't big on MOBAs before but EPIC has done an amazing job of making this game fun and easy to learn. The third person shooter action in this game really is incredible...a MOBA where you can level up your hero's abilities and run around in an action packed 3d map using the geography to your advantage. The diversity of the heros is amazing too.

    To the people complaining about p2w the only thing you can spend money on are cosmetics like skins and boosts which just give you the same thing free players get only faster.
    All the heros start unlocked unlike so many other f2p games so you are not gated at all in your play experience. The only progression that the game actually has which will effect you is the card system which is based on random card packs. The designers have balanced card packs where having more cards will not make you stronger the same way a better weapon does in a game like World of Warcraft. You start with enough cards to make a deck with all the most common builds (attack speed, damage, critical chance, armor/health). The only thing getting more cards gives you is playstyle variety in how you build your heros but all of them are balanced the same so no card gives an advantage "per card point" over any other card. Even the starting commons give you the same amount of "damage per card point" as a rare card.

    If you enjoy MOBAs, or even if you don't. This game is really easy to get into if you learn the mechanics and it has turned me into a MOBA fan.

    Pros: Best graphics of any game right now.
    Awesome Heros
    Really fun action packed battles.
    Goal oriented game design, lots of objectives and ways to turn the battle in your favor (harvesters)
    True to MOBA genre while being action packed and accessible.
    Free to play (when released soon in august) Money only gets you faster progression but no advantages.

    Cons: MOBAs have more of a learning curve than most genre.
    Each match is a 30+ minute commitment.
    Like all MOBAs relies on your team for success so having a bad team can really suck.

The balancing is very well done, it's extremely uncommon for one character to carry a game unless you're playing with someone that's just legitimately of higher skill. My favorite mechanic of the game is the fact that last-hitting is the ONLY thing that matters. Don't waste your time spamming abilities to kill creeps, just hold off for the last-hit otherwise you cut your CXP (read as gold) income by 80%. This game very much requires a lot more skill and patience than your standard MMO. The people whining about the "pay2win" stuff haven't played the game long enough to see the game will give you the same benefits that other people have for free. You get free boosts, free card packs, and earning rep to get more card packs (your in-game items for damage, health, etc.) is very quick. You can get a card pack after 3 matches provided you play well enough. Honestly if you're looking for a new MOBA to scratch that itch and want to try something that requires a bit more skill then give this a shot. Even if you just shell out the $20 for the basic founder's pack, all characters and features are unlocked. There are no limitations, just pick it up and play. Expand

    tldr: great game + the negative reviews don't make any sense.

    Pro: Gorgeous graphics, amazing characters, fantastic battles.
    Con: no cross-platform voice chat, no PC voice chat. Some bugs. PS4 UI needs a little work.

    As for the negative reviews on here, here are my responses:

    1) If you don't like that it isn't free, that is your own issue, it has no bearing on the quality of the game.

    2) The founders packs are on the PC, not the PS4.

    3) It is not pay-to-win, though it may look that way. If you do amazing against people with amazing cards, what's the issue? There is a matchmaking system that works well. The people that paid for the privilege to improve their chances of getting better cards will be playing against each other, not you.

    4) Yes, the matches can go an hour if you are evenly matched and/or the other team doesn't surrender. So what? The matches tend to be finger-biting. Yay!

    5) Not what you expected from Unreal Tournament / Gears of war? Not surprising. Those games are unrelated to Paragon. Paragon is a MOBA. Google it! :) Overwatch and Warframe are not the same type of game. If people like other games, they should play those. Rating this a 0 because you like some other game makes no sense.

    6) It is 100% moba, expecting something unique? It says it is 100% moba. So... dunno what to say

    I'm still trying to understand where to place this game.
    Graphic is really good, both PC and PS4 is really something that is impossible to don't appreciate.
    Speaking about gameplay is 100% a MOBA and honestly i was expecting something more unique. Interesting the card in game but at the end is the same to have a shop with standard items.
    The main issue about the game is that is too slow, for a standard match takes around 50 minutes... also the champ look like cannot move as fast as you want (unless you are out of combat that you can walk quicker)
    Also the menu is not the best but there is window of improvement.
    I like the champ style since i get bored to look battleborn or Overwatch but is a personal preference.

    Game next to unplayable on console with pc interface, locked-in Y-axis orientation and generally frustrating as hell with loading screens and failed attempts to choose hero.

    Words of advice: save yourself time and come back in a year for more completed game, assume the game is still alive. If it's dead, you willWords of advice: save yourself time and come back in a year for more completed game, assume the game is still alive. If it's dead, you will save yourself 1 year of life time. Beside, all heroes are free, so there is no point of playing much either. Kind of dumb for them to cut playing motive but whatever.

    This game is sloppy and unfinish. I return in few months and it still look the same, maybe few more new heroes, but it is as sluggish messy as the beginning. Almost like little boy tries to finish his homework last minute. Spells animation missing, sound effect missing, graphic glitch, none of the heroes have voice. This game is so unfinished, they didn't even bother add teammate icon on the left of the screen, for those who familiar with team base game, on the left of the screen are your teammate status icons. It helps team coornadinating so players
    know what buffs are active on their teammates and most importantly for the support to know who need protection.

    The speed of developerment for Paragon show you the intelligent, level of competence, and the MOBA experiences of these developers. Some game elements are questionable choice. Almost like these options are there to purposely drive players nut, tougher gaming experience. You have to go to multiple excesssive click to access to what to you want, then have to back track over another direction for something else, so unorganized.
    Even if it's free, that's not an excuse for bad game, the fact most games this genre are free regardless, save yourself times and go play other better free MOBA like Smite and Dota.
