I will probably never give 5 stars to anything unless it changed my life (for the good) and is the perfect game.
I give 3 stars to most games but that doesn't mean they're bad, they just didn't leave that much impression on me.

This game feels janky and generic at best
I bought it thinking it would be as epic as the movie but turns out it's just not that fun. First of all the game engine they chose for this was not the best, Unreal Engine has proven time and time again to be a pretty terrible graphics engine for PC games, I have a decent PC and GPU and the game still runs terribly bad even on Medium graphics.
I'm not someone that judges a game by it's graphics but I sure do judge games by their performance and this game's performance is just terrible. Sure you might say "But it's an Early access game!" mate I'm not going to wait 1 or 2 years for a performance fix that might never arrive since game developers expect you to have the best of the best hardware instead of optimizing, optimizing their game isn't profitable so I don't think it's a priority and people who say "it works on my machine" do nothing but support this bad business practice.
The game's controls also feel very limited and it really feels like they made this game with mouse in mind, I would not recommend using a controller in this game because the aiming feels off and it's too tanky, there is no appropriate way to change sensitivity in settings. There is also no way to switch controller buttons however you like, the function straight up doesn't work, it's not coded...
The enemy AI is just... DUMB really really DUMB, they have no way to attack you if you're in an elevated position, I thought they'd climb on each other to reach me but turns out they just don't know what to do once you're in a slightly elevated position, the only thing that can reach you are the ranged bugs but they're not that common.
Also, why did they decide to put the special abilities on the upper D-Pad? it's just wrong and pretty hard to reach.
In short, this game is just too dull, it gets boring really fast because every mission is basically the same, there is NO user interaction besides the voice chat, there is NO text chat (I tried to find it but there's none and if there's any then nobody seems to be using it) and uses a soulless graphic engine with bad performance, they don't give you many weapons, what you see is what you get most of the time, I was expecting to kill a lot of bugs with a 50cal from all sides but sounds like that's just too much to ask although it might change in the future but this is my first impression of the game, most game movies don't have a good history because they usually suck.
Oh and it needs to be more visceral, killing bugs here feels like a chore, there is no satisfaction... they don't even get dismembered or torn apart from all the bullets they just drop, that's it.
tl;dr if you want to kill bugs in a satisfying way and have fun I'd rather recommend you to play Deep Rock Galactic, it's a better bug killing game.

This is one of the best RTS games I've ever played alongside Empire Earth and Age of Empires II, it is such a shame that it's not as popular as it's older siblings but it's definitely worth playing I still regularly play it to this day, the campaign, game mechanics and the music in this game are a masterpiece.
I spent countless hours on this game, it was one of the most popular browser games back in the 2000s, you could chat with a lot of people from around the world in hundreds of thousands of rooms, some rooms had fun minigames, some were cool, unfortunately the game stopped being popular and I dropped it in 2009, I tried logging back in recently but they had deleted my account due to inactivity, the game is in a sad state now so I would not recommend playing it.
