I really really wanted to give this game a recommendation, I've nearly gotten to the maximum season pass level and won one game.. I could have won several more weren't it for the ratio in which hackers/cheaters appear..

And don't get me wrong I don't mind losing, the entire reason you should play the game is to have fun, unfortunately due to the increasing amount of hackers that fun has been diminished more and more every week, by these ****bags who can't play the game properly and thus resort to hacks.

Mediatonic does seem to be willing to tackle this issue but does so in all the wrong ways, instead of using anti cheat software (which I know won't be to people's liking either.. but a necessary evil the way I see it) tries to tackle the hackers by removing Humble Bundle discounts and disabling Steam Family Share something I'm vehemently against because to me you're punishing the wrong people, plus the effectiveness seems debatable at best.

While I'm sure some hackers are actually playing to win and hoping to get away with some crowns there's also a big majority who just seems to hack to annoy others, they troll and try go grab people dragging them up or just slamming into them for doodoos and giggles.

It's such a shame really, the game hits all the right notes on accessibility, family friendliness, tons of customization options, fun sounds and fun games yet is plagued by these Menfants who insist on cheating in a game that really has no purpose to even cheat in.

Ultimately looking back on it, right now in its current state despite all the good things, I really don't recommend buying the game until this is sorted. It's stressful to play in a finale which you already know you're going to lose because some kiddo has an application running that makes them able to fly wherever they so desire.
