This game encapsulates everything I love about social gaming. In my older years I really do not enjoy PvP, but I still enjoy challenging myself with my pals. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun playing a game with my friends; at times I couldn't breath from laughing so hard.
This game is just good, old-fashioned fun for the sake of fun. It doesn't have a deeper meaning and it doesn't need it. The 3rd-person combat doesn't reinvent the wheel, but that doesn't mean it isn't a nice wheel; it's fluid, satisfying, and their stratagem system really brings it all together. The directional input was such a simple, yet brilliantly executed idea. Nothing like being the last of your boys out there, being chased by a hundred insect creatures, having to put together precise directional inputs in order to save them. They intentionally designed it this way to maximize the chaos of it.
I also love the ult-patriotism themes in it, clearly poking fun at modern-day American politics. The humor is great, the propaganda vides are hilarious, and even the musical themes seem to be making fun of the generic "American patriotism" themes we hear a lot. Me and my friends are really into the roleplay of it, too. I'll never forget when we were getting owned by insects, and my last friend alive threw a nuke on himself because he couldn't revive us, saluted, belted "FOR DEMOCRACY" and died along with the hundred bugs around him. We lost that mission, but it was so f***ing funny.
It's also cool that the entire community is fighting the same war. I think the success of this game speaks volumes to what the gaming community wants. It goes to show that gamers want a co-op, PvE, easy to drop-in and play type of game. Especially with its release right next to a game like Suicide Squad, which absolutely tanked, I think it's cool to see this really small IP destroy the big IP DC game. Gamers aren't stupid; you can't keep making shite video games and expect us to gobble them up. Hopefully these dumb executives that are making poor decisions learn this.
Overall, I'm having so much fun with this game. It's a great, easily digestible fun time and it's exactly what my heart needed.
