Really fun gameplay without the egregious monetization that similar games in the genre have.

Game is good if you have a PC that runs it. I have a midspec PC but game runs fine with crashes every 2 hours and the occasional frame drop for a few seconds. Everyone I see only talks about the performance issues but the game itself is good.

Story: Game says im 50% of the way through and so far its been amazing! Jokes are pretty good borderlands humour and they aren't made at the expense of character development. All the characters I have interacted with are have been genuinely a joy to get to know. All of them are interesting and seem to have some decent depth. The time keeper also gives some nostalgic handsome jack vibes when he randomly echos you to insult you, still not as good as handsome jack but thats an impossible bar. Side quests are actually also really good, throw away one offs are entertaining and side quests with important characters do a lot to give more backstory while still managing to remain engaging and occasionally pretty funny. ALSO THEY ACTUALLY PUT YOU IN THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CUT SCENES THIS TIME HOLY ♥♥♥♥ I CANT BELIEVE BL3 DIDN'T HAVE THAT.

Vault Hunters: I have played all 4 to about level 15. They all have fun abilities no matter which ones you choose. Even the classes I thought I wouldn't like I actually loved playing. Though some of the capstone abilities seem a tad useless or too niche. The vault hunter personalities this time around are... okay, like a 7/10. Kinda more of the same from previous games, meathead, smart, charismatic, and hard headed. That said they do say some entertaining stuff for the most part and never found myself dreading their voice lines.

Gameplay: All around amazing! The alternate gun modes have been fleshed out more than BL3, loot seems even more unique, the new ordinance system is way more fun, world bosses are actually pretty stressful to fight, and the whole host of other world activities are unique, fun, and engaging. However, IDK if its just me but the legendaries I have gotten are total garbage, they either do less damage than a purple, or have a gimmick that is way to much of a pain to use. Of the 5 legendaries (1 from the Super Delxue Pack) only one has been even somewhat useful and just barely made me switch out the purple I was using. I am hoping I am just getting the bad silly ones and their not all like that.

Look I think a lot of people are hating on the game because a certain dumbass CEO can't shut up and its frankly stupid high price tag for its level of polish, and they are justified to hate on it for that reason. BUT if you have $80 burning a whole in your pocket and patience for poor performance, this game is worth it in my opinion. Thanks for reading.

So much fun, clearly took a lot of inspiration from games in the genre but 10/10 nonetheless.

Great game with AMAZING gameplay and rouge-like mechanics.

Actually very fun game! Combat is a little dry and the fun comes from the tense feeling of losing your stuff but the immersion is nothing like I have ever seen in a video game. It feels like it is a very accurate depiction of what you surviving a zombie outbreak would look like. 9/10

fun game

Game is very accurate to WW2 but if you wanna experience it then enjoy spending most of it looking at a respawn screen. Unless you get to play sniper which good luck you will need a god PC and an SSD in order to load fast enough to get it, or if you want all the kills with none of the fun and skill then play the click to ruin fun button AKA mortar. Mortar, while yes accurate to history is not fun in the slightest, its like if battlefield 1 made grenade spam its own class. Its not fun to play and it not fun to have all your spawns blow up and insta die before you can play. To that end attacking and defending points are not fun, attacking means you will most likely be staring at respawn screens for almost 45% of the match (actually did the math on that and it was on the D-day map assuming each spawn takes 25 seconds) or you can defend in which most of your teammates leave you while you sit there waiting for an enemy to show up. Furthermore lets talk teammates, as most people you meet will not have mics, or just wont talk. And the roles are even worse, commander and officer are basically meaningless as nobody listens at all and just do their own thing 70% of the time and they never go roles that are needed like engi and supp because they are boring just like everything else in this game. Even the coding is garbage. I have a RTX 3080ti, 32gb RAM, ryzen 7 5800x, SDD, the whole shebang and I still have blue screened 3 times in my 67 hours. This not mentioning the ♥♥♥♥ hit reg where I can shoot a guy 3 times (verified with sound and I had 50 ping) and he can still turn around and headshot me. The guns are supposed to either 1 or 2 shot and this wasn't even an odd occurance, this ♥♥♥♥ happened every 4-5 kills. The only thing they got right was the title, hell let loose, only its hell let loose on fun because good luck having any.

This game is hot ass. It is only worth playing if you want a better hero shooter than Overwatch 2.

The good:
There are a ton of really fun characters to play and they all have very unique play styles that you can tweak to your liking with cards. The items are a decent way of countering certain play styles and strategies that dominate. There are also a bunch of cool skins for every character.

The bad:
I have seen alphas with less bugs than this garbage. Just before writing this review the game crashed so hard it froze one of my screens for a solid hour before I was able to fix it by restarting a few times. The game regularly has connection and game breaking bugs in 1 out of 7 matches. Matchmaking is an absolute joke. The amount of times I have been put in matches with people who have well over 2000 hours in the game is unreal. I think the best part about all of this is if they spent a fraction of the time and effort they put into overpriced skins, they would actually have a really good game. But instead they let bugs continue to be issues for months or even years and have zero balancing to speak of if they didn't have items. There are a few champs that are super overpowered and need to be nerfed but instead we get a bunch of new $15 skins. Fun fact, the game is so buggy and garbage that almost every time I have tried to buy a skin some error or something happens that prevents me from purchasing currency. You probably won't have to see that bug though because it affects Hirez's money so that bug will get fixed within the hour, only for a new one to take its place. Don't even get me started on the currency amounts they give you at each price and the cost of some of the skins, I mean those tactics have to be some sort of crime.

TLDR; The game has a good base but is massively overshadowed by 0 balance and a ludicrous amount of bugs.

Game is a really good game but the community is the worst and most toxic community I have ever had the displeasure of playing with. You cannot go 10 mins without ear rape, some kid calling you the N-word, or various other slurs. Also don't expect to play the game for the first 1 hour because everyone on the server will make it there personal mission to kill you even though you have nothing.

The game got 10/10 updates that made the game minecraft in space. Great game
