Is the game a flop? Absolutely not. PUBG inspires me - even in its current state. There are only a few games in which I am so energized from the first to the last minute of a match.

Quotation forthcoming.

Cooperative, grind-heavy sci-fi shooter with exciting ideas, which generates more frustration than pleasure with the current scope and condition it is in.

At the first glance, Lawbreakers appears insane and soulless, a huge drawback with the mass of current multiplayer shooters and the high competitive pressure.
