Thought gaf was racist. Now knows better, honorary gaffer 2022
Always good to compare two games from entirely different genres; totally honest take.

. . .game looks fine as another co-op hero shooter that you can play alone if you choose to.

Feels like we’ve already seen this game, published by a well known publisher - and it bombed.

It’s a crowded market, and bigger licenses than Robin Hood are even struggling.
New single and up to 4 player coop game x gaas, multiplayer only competitive team-based game.

Can you spot the difference?

They should change the name to Gangs of Genericwood. Or Gangs of Shitwood. Based of what I've seen so far.

Mmmm, linear game, my God how I miss those. It reminds me of the lotr action games, with a bit of Castlevania Lords of shadow. No open world, no side quests, just go forward and progress. Even though it really does seem like a mid 60 game, I would unironically play this over most of the games coming out recently.

Well that was a $30 game, so idk what kind of sales they expected and whether it “bombed” or not.

But it also launched with extremely bare bones content and a very broken character that took months to nerf.
