First off, a minor issueThis game has been phoned in significantly. The format is fun, but the effort and polish to match it isn’t there.
First off, a minor issue but one that still feels significant. There is a made up host instead of Steve Harvey or any of the past hosts. “Lucky McCoy” has zero personality.
In the spirit of a lack of personality, there is extremely limited customization. For a game called “family” feud, you can’t make a family. Everyone is the exact same height, weight and age, and only a small selection of full preset faces to choose to represent your whole family. The only way to add variation is clothing options, which are also very limited. Unfortunate because that’s the only thing you seem to be able to spend your earned money on.
Performance on switch is horrid, with crusty cinematic transitions and the game crashing frequently. Of the rounds I’ve played, nearly half of them have closed with an error mid round.
There seem to be no updates to refresh questions. Another reviewer said that “phone” wasn’t on the board for “something you wouldn’t want to forget to pack on vacation” but camera was. Similarly for me, phone wasn’t on the board for “something you might accidentally drop in the toilet”, which is the number 1 answer by today’s standards. You can make do, but it gets quite obnoxious.
Every time you open the game, you have to close out of several windows begging you to make an ubisoft account of some sort and sign in. There’s no way to tell it not to ask you again, so it asks you at every opportunity. It also locks certain things behind signing up for an account. No one want’s to do that Ubisoft!
There are only preset CPU families, and they’re tied to game difficulty. If you play on medium, you are always facing the exact same computer family. If you play on hard, you are always facing the exact same family. They could have made multiple to rotate it out, or had some randomization. They didn’t bother.
Overall I’m highly dissatisfied with the game. It’s minimum effort shovelware, nothing more. I love the show, and loved the idea of playing it myself. What a shame.… Expand
