    OK, seriously: I don't give 10s that often to much, but this is the most fun I've had in a MP game EVER. The only game that has come close to the sheer exhilaration of the matches in Paragon is TLoU Factions, but I think I give Paragon the edge in terms of sheer tactical brilliance. I play mostly on PC, but the PS4 version is pretty much exactly the same: controller works great too.OK, seriously: I don't give 10s that often to much, but this is the most fun I've had in a MP game EVER.

    Amazing game. Still in early access out of alpha not even open beta yet. I am veteran of Dota AS, dota 2, LoL, HoN and I can say that Paragon is a new MOBA experience and has SOOO much potential.

    Huge community support and developers are in constant contact with the community about updates, changes, and new heroes.

    They are delivering their promise on a new hero every 3 weeks. Amazing.

    For those who are crying and whining about PAY2WIN formula... All heroes are available. The game is free, 20$ for early access. Yes you can buy experience points with money but you can't buy card decks with money.

    Also.. all cards can be obtained by playing without paying. Even if you pay for experience you don't get card packs at every level so it doesnt make sense. You get card packs for leveling up and playing heroes X amount of times.

    Also the cards are not a huge difference when it comes to building. A normal card has nearly same stats as a rare card. Epic cards are only for speicifc builds. Overall, I don't think pay2win has a factor when it comes to the game which is skill based.

    Overall I am a huge fan of the game and will be a loyal fan in days to come.    … Expand

    Yes, they are charging for Early Access, so people can try the game and help shape it up into becoming a better game. The game has tons of free weekends so people can join in and give it a go, and will soon become a free to play title when it launches as an open beta on August 16 2016.
    Plus people who DO pay for it get tons of in game content and early access, so if you do pay, it's because you want to try it, no one is forcing you.

    The game is still a bit rough around the edges but it is still in Alpha, and it is beautiful. It is also cross play so you can play with your friends on the PS4 and PC.

    And for people saying it is Pay2Win, that is not even close to being the truth right now. You can't buy card packs with money (only boosts which will help you get more cards in the long run), but cards don't inherently give you an advantage over others, Epic has made sure of that. You can win with a starter deck any day of the week. And after playing for a while you'll have a ton of cards and with the upcoming Crafting system, it will alleviate RNG for players to some degree.    … Expand

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

    I have been playing this game since closed alpha have been hooked ever since. It is competitive, has a great community and a developer who cares about the state of the game. I would definitely support the game if I was you. $20 for an early access is nothing for such a great game.

    My new favorite game! 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.

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.    … Expand

    Cons:
    1. It is early access and you have to buy into it to even play. Upside is they do offer a few packages and those who have bought into it are given free keys from time to time. So not a total downer.
    2. The game can change a lot during early access... ie. nothing is set in stone.
    3. It is a MOBA so sometimes the community can be toxic.
    4. The Ai in the co-op and solo games is ..... retarded. While it does let you learn the hero that you are playing it does not prepare you for the aggressiveness of players :)
    5. RNG for the card system is meh.... you can get the same cards repeatedly over and over and over. However there are many ways to play a class. So it won't kill you to be missing specific cards.    … Expand

    This is the most enjoyable co-op team game I have played for a long time. 5 on 5 battles are great fun and it is as well balanced as anything I've played since Halo 2. The card system and rules of MOBAs do take a little getting used to but I think it's well worth it. A fantastic game, looking forward to seeing how it develops with new characters and maps.

    First time playing this I really disliked the cards & controls. After messing around with it a bit on both PC and PS4 and getting in touch with the controls and deck building, I really enjoy it, coming from a veteran League & Dota player and I've dabbled with all kinds of mobas from HOTS, Infinite Crisis, Smite, Heroes of newerth etc.

    +Personally enjoyed the general vibe and art style of the game. It's a bit heavier on the Sci-fi side which is something I like.
    +/-Crossplatform play. Love it or hate it, but I was able to play with my friends that either didn't have a good enough PC or lacked a PS4.
    -Feels clunkier on consoles, but stopped experiencing problems with it after adjusting controller sensitivity. More difficult to play mage archetype heroes that require you to place and cast spells with the joystick.

    All in all this is a game I would just relax and kill time with, doesn't really strike me as heavy on the competitive side, perhaps in the future when the deck building gets more depth & the hero roster expands. Still just in Open Beta.

    All in all a good game, recommend that you try it out for free.    … Expand

It's a true moba imo, but in a new jacket ( first person view ) wich makes it all the more fun. Will be on this one for a while, hoping there will be ranked pretty soon.

    You may have in front of you a guy having spent 500EUR/USD in cards, that won't make his team win.
    It is not painful to play without paying money. It's not like other F2P where you are bored being a weak with endless hours needed to increase, nor other F2P where you get crushed by people spending money.

    You can spend 0 and yet obliterate a guy having spent money because he just doesn't get how to play.

    Playing smartly, with smart people, allows you to win games even if you are outnumbered.

    Jungling is the most rewarding experience of the game.

    If you like the style, really, go and get it.

    Know however it's in Beta stage, but they keep on adding heroes and content.

When I first started playing I was getting absolutely demolished, but I recognized that there was a lot of strategy hidden beneath the depths of a beautiful façade, so I continued to play. Once you start picking up the strategy the game becomes much more enjoyable to play. There are lots of tactics and deck building that were not apparent to me as a new MOBA player, so if you are new to these types of games as well definitely look up some beginner strategy guides to get you going.
    The different hero types play very differently. If you manage to sneak up on a lone ranger with a fighter for example, you will probably demolish them in a matter of seconds, but if they can hold you at range they can slowly pick you apart without danger to themselves.
    There is a lot of teamwork involved in this game, and I'm really surprised that they do not support the use of headsets. You want to optimize XP gain across your team (split lanes), but also team up against enemy heroes for easy kills. I'm just breaking the surface of the strategy involved and I hope I can find some better players to team up with and learn some things from.
    Some quick tips
    - You gain much more XP from getting the killing blow on a minion or hero. Try to time the kill shot as often as possible so you get all the XP.
    - Much of this game is about flanking other heroes. You will learn very quickly that trying to defeat two other players at once is almost impossible. Try to flank and lure other heroes into making mistakes so that you can double team them.
    - People never seem to go for the red orbs in the jungle. At the beginning of the match it is difficult to defeat these minions, but once you've leveled up a couple of times they are an easy kill and give you a significant stat increase.
    - Make sure someone on your team is placing harvesters and that people are collecting from them regularly. They provide card points for the entire team at once, granting quicker stat increases for your team.
    - I don't use wards, but probably should. Being able to sneak up on enemies is key to getting easy kills. Allowing the other team to sneak up on you when you are caught in a battle with low health is not good.
    - Don't feed the enemy. Every time you die you provide a significant amount of XP to the other team. Do not continue to rush in and die, and die, and die. You will give the other team a significant advantage. If you are not able to hold your own against enemy heroes try to provide other types of support, i.e. harvesters, wards, kill jungle minions, or wait and sneak up on enemies when your team mates engage them.    … Expand

I've tried League, the DC Infinite, among others... the over the top click base has never been fun. Before Paragon came out I got into Smite to try and learn the basics prior to Paragon. I haven't touched Smite since Paragon came out. The game looks gorgeous, the heroes are all fun to play, even though balancing issues does become a thing, but that happens in most mobas. You can definitely tell the game is still being developed, which is fine, because I can see where it is going. The card system was annoying at first due to not having any cards, but they aren't to hard to collect.
    The game is very action based, and while they WERE having a problem of very long game times, there was always action during the game. And when you are in a fight, it feels like a fight.
    The only reason I won't give it a 10 is due to Travel mode. they are trying to figure out a way to get rid of it, but because you can become so fast and rotate, there's sometimes no punishment for the enemy in your lane dying because his teammates can get to the lane so quick and hold off until he gets back.
    they have made some changes with minions attacking towers more that have helped this issue. Communication is also frustrating because unless you plug in a keyboard, it's impossible to communicate on PS4.
    Again, I love this game. It's definitely still in development. But where I see this game going is bright and very promising. Just always remember, "Wards save Lives."    … Expand
