Did you get it on PS5 and PC?
I've watched a fair few videos of it now and it looks fantastic, but there were mixed reviews on Steam for launch yesterday saying the match-making was broken and I've seen the same on PS5 versions too, so I've held off for the time being.
PC. I’d heard about the matchmaking issues but I was playing with a group so didn’t need to use it. We actually had a bit of an “issue” when we were accidentally matchmaking (successfully) for the empty fourth slot but didn’t intend to, but that was down to us using the wrong option. Another problem that came up before I joined was that changing armour while in an online session would crash the game but that was easily avoided.
Aside from what I’m happy enough to put down as “launch day teething”, it’s all pretty slick. We didn’t fail any of the missions we tried but as it went on it was ramping up the difficulty sharply. There’s a lot of strategems to unlock and some of them look cool as strawberry float.
Probably the highest praise I have for it is that the whole package is so coherent and on-point it doesn’t really feel like a nod to or an impersonation of Starship Troopers. It feels every bit as good as the inspiration.
