    With an interesting progress system and competent FPS-style platforming gameplay, Meet Your Maker is one to keep an eye on going forward.

    Meet Your Maker is now the standard for sandbox experiences in terms of entertainment, ease of use and scalability. This endlessly repayable dungeon raiding and building experience has the friendliness of Minecraft and the aesthetics and gameplay of Doom and it will hook you.

    Fulfilling, fun and brutal as only certain video games can be, Meet Your Maker is a marriage of wickedness and fantasy. Great FPS stages and good building stages. Must have absolutely.

    If you’ve got a creative streak and a taste for vengeance, Meet Your Maker will have you cackling, plotting and cursing well into the night. You’ll shun daylight, surrounded by an ever-growing field of 3D printed skulls, each representing in in-game kill. And at the end of the day, isn’t that what gaming’s all about?

    Meet Your Maker is a refreshing blend of ideas that takes shape in the form of a brutal, devious, and compelling puzzle platformer/shooter with a community-led approach. Time will tell how well that plays out, but it's a hugely promising start.

    Meet Your Maker is an amazing post-apocalyptic game that mixes first-person action and scenario building. In addition to a simple and fine-tuned gameplay, the feedback between its parts makes it addictive and a lot of fun, especially when shared with someone else online.

    Meet Your Maker is an interesting mix between FPS and tower defense, quite satisfying to play when you have to face outposts full of traps and when creating an impregnable fortress. But if the gameplay can be considered a strength point, the few contents available at launch and the various unpolished aspects limit the potential of Behavior Interactive's new multiplayer experience.

    Meet Your Maker's core premise is very strong, but the game's aesthetic and samey levels currently don't live up to that vision. While it can be fun in short bursts, raiding Outposts can quickly become tedious, although building your own stages for others to try is more fulfilling. There's potential here, no question, but we'll have to see how it fares on live servers before we deliver a full verdict. [Review in Progress]

    Pros:
    -Fun gameplay loop
    -Making levels is easy and fun - Watching replays of people dying in your levels never gets old -Always different    Pros:
    -Fun gameplay loop
    -Making levels is easy and fun - Watching replays of people dying in your levels never gets old
    -Always different levels to play - constant progression (ableit slow) - Grapple gun allows for some advanced movement Cons:
    -Low amount of traps/enemy types (More is promised in a roadmap) -Raids on player made levels are mostly ethier brain numbingly boring or sadistic impossible kill boxes
    -All levels look the same -Progress feels slow and unlocking stuff takes an age
    -Basic combat Overall, decent but feels like a half-made game. Fun in short bursts but repetitive in long play sessions.

    It's worth a go but it definitely needs more content ASAP.    … Full Review »

    Got it free on PS Plus a week after it first came out - first red flag. Controls are slow, aiming is finicky and difficult not to overshoot.Got it free on PS Plus a week after it first came out - first red flag. Controls are slow, aiming is finicky and difficult not to overshoot. You can't dash, and your jump is long and floaty. You can double jump, but that doesn't seem to be useful for anything. Traps are big glaring pieces on the grid-based terrain, and your goal is to trudge through, try to move your cross hair over them, and blow them up one by one. Your staring gun has 2 ammo, and you have to retrieve it from the destroyed traps afterward. You also have grenades - not sure why. You do all this to essentially "capture the flag", a DNA packet you take back to a giant embryo to level it up for in-game currency. You use buy more costumes and such, to look different while you raid in first person. It's a shame, this is a concept that could have been very competitive and exciting.… Full Review »
