I'm 25 hours in (probably would be double that if it weren't for the game's server issues) and I can easily say this is one of the most fun games I've played in years. Incredibly fun with friends, just as good with online strangers, and even worthwhile when doing solo runs.

Its PvE nature makes it less stressful than your average PvP shooter, but it's still incredibly tense when you start to up the difficulty past the Challenging tier. Great weapons, stratagems, and planet variety makes this a constant blast to play even when you're on the umpteenth "destroy all Terminid eggs" mission.

Once Arrowhead irons out all the server and matchmaking issues, this is going to pretty close to flawless. It's only February and we already have a GOTY contender on our hands.
