I think this season has been good, I like the theme it has of chill vibes and the Reality Tree affecting different environments has been nice. I also like how the map has been redesigned for this season, like Covert Cavern being rethemed as an amusement park where you can ride in the returning Ballers. The Darth Vader boss (Albeit kind of annoying at first since everyone can see where he is when he lands so they just kind of dogpile on him at the start) is also really well-designed and his Lightsaber as a mythic is really neat.

In general I like pretty much all of the Battle Pass skins, with Evie and Darth Vader being my favorites, but I also think Snap is really creative and neat especially since previous customizable Battle Pass skins have just been rearranging weapons and cosmetics whereas he is fully customizable. Despite my love for the films I do think Indiana Jones is a strange inclusion (Why isn't he an item shop skin?) but I do like his skin as well as his cosmetics regardless.

However I feel like where this season kind of faulters is how barren it feels. The theme of the season is chill vibes and celebration yet no one is celebrating and you're all still fighting each other. It'd be nice if Epic added a social mode where people can utilize more of this season's features a lot better but that seems unlikely. EXP gain is also significantly nerfed in comparison to previous seasons with it being much harder to get EXP as of now, although this could change later in the season. I also have to criticize the Grapple Gloves as they're essentially a highly downgraded version of the Webslingers, and with Epic's relationship with Marvel and the huge presence of Spider-Man content this entire chapter I'm not sure why they couldn't bring them back.

So overall it's not bad, I think this season is a start, I do think there is some work on it that could be done to make it better however, hoping that Epic ends up sticking the landing.
