LawBreakers CheatCC Review

LawBreakers is a hardcore take on the team shooter from Cliff Blezinski's Boss Key Productions. Can it find a place for itself in a crowded market? Perhaps if people are ready for tough, skill-based combat.

Marathon hands-on preview | Notebookcheck

Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."

Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.

And as of now a 5.1 user score on metacritic. Really bad.

On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.

The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games

LiViNgLeGaCY5h ago

You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.

MrNinosan4h ago

Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.

Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.

Flenter2h ago

Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮

One of my most wanted games after I saw the preview at the game awards. Fingers crossed that someone grabs this team or at least funds the studio.

They may have to defect from NetEase and start their own studio if at all possible

Sony should help out, they did a lot of damage to their reputation by closing bluepoint, this would go a little way to restoring it.

DarXyde20h ago

You think so? I think it might do the opposite.

"Sony's closing their own studio and funding other games" would probably be the flavour of outrage for every comments section.

But more importantly, this is surprisingly one of those situations where I can weigh in with a personal anecdote. In my deeply unconventional life, I've met a grand total of two people that are Yakuza in my life (well...*were* is more accurate), both times in Shinjuku during different visits and eight years apart. They're fascinating people, and I remember something from them that might be relevant here: they're a bit thin-skinned. Not on a personal level, but flying too close to the organized crime sun gets a response. They don't really hide their existence, but they do engage in some reputation laundering to appear more innocuous than they are. My guess? There has been some pressure to kill this project. Like a Dragon doesn't take itself seriously and it makes them look fun. GOD looks to be a bit more...accurate, and I suspect it flies too close to the organized crime sun I'm talking about.

Sony, still being a longstanding Japanese corporation, probably has a lot of cultural cache. And if Nagoshi goes to Sony, I suspect they'll either say no upfront or would be talked into pulling support before long (which would do even more damage).

It's a shame because the game looks interesting, but this kind of thing comes with precedent. I would compare it to The Last Temptation of Christ ,or even Sony's own experience with The Interview.

Thanks for your insight, that was a really interesting angle to read.
