This game is worth a try imo. It's pretty polarizing from what I have seen, but I'll try my best to summarize what I liked about this game.

This game feels like it's a sampler of all favorite parts of Titanfall's mobility and pace of combat AND the solid environmental and gunplay of old Battlefield. It feels like almost every mechanic is dedicated to making a match feel dynamic with the amount of map altering or ability range a player can utilize. There are some balance issues with certain choices being more or less fun than others (like the heavy class feeling a lil too chunky for me in a game built to promote movement), but I'm really impressed for a game that just released. It's the current game for "boy's night" right now which is an achievement for any game. They just need to balance some abilities (please buff some weapon magazines) and give me more destruction and mobility tools for medium and the heavy class imo.

i’m currently grinding away to get the last few achievements, but i’ve played the game more than once and I feel comfortable reviewing it now.

this is probably the purest sequel to exist. it’s “safe” in that the only gameplay changes are adding two, new drink bases, the ability to give some items to customers, and most of the original cast returns with a few new faces. that “safe-ness” is not a bad thing though! it’s familiar and the game leans into the theme of change, but wanting stability. big fan of this. guess i’ve been burned by bad sequels too many times lol.

new characters are cute ‘n fine. jokes and story maintains the quality of the original. music is still fire.

i really don’t have any critiques for this game, but it doesn’t hugely innovate. it does everything well like it did in the first one which is all i could’ve asked!
