Early Access Review
It's alright, I guess.

According to Steam, this is the 'game' that I've sunk the thrid-most amounts of hours into.

And it's free! That speaks for itself. 10/10 would recommend.

This game used to be fun, but now I can't recommend it.

(don't let my hours fool you, I've played 100+ hours though the standalone launcher)

Matchmaking is horrible now, because if you, say, bring a 4.5k powerscore build, using only rare items, you get matched against 6k PS builds running epic items (which need 20x the grind to obtain and are almost universally more powerful).

Servers are horrible too, if you're not in North America or Europe. I select Australian servers, but the horrible matchmaking puts me in North American servers with 250ms ping. It'd be tolerable, except for their horrendous netcode which resembles something out of the 90s, and makes no attempt to make the game playable for anyone with a moderately high ping. If you instruct your car to steer left or shoot in a certain direction, the game will process your input serverside, and you'll overshoot when trying to turn, or miss whatever you're aiming at.

I'd give this game a 3/10.

Publisher has abandoned this game.

Get Mudrunner instead.

Why are you people complaining? It's free (for alpha), and it's better than No Man's Sky. :P

Since the 'Epic' Loot update, the ecomomy has been completly broken.

Freejam has changed the end-of-match reward system to a random crate drop based system.

This has caused problems like:
-Part drops are completly at the mercy of The Random Number God
-Sellback value (to convert parts into ingame currency) is terrible. Before this 'Epic New Expansion' parts could be sold for 50% of what they cost. Now at best, you will only get 33% of the original price back.
-Top tier crates have only slightly improved drop tables compared to the worst tier crates.
-Crate drop tables are the same for all players, meaning newbies and veterans get the same rewards at the end of a match.

I will change my recommendation to a positive one when FreeJam fixes these issues.

UPDATE 21/07/16:

With the Enter The Shredzone expansion, FJ introduced a gamebreaking bug that can brick a player's account. Ironically, this bug can be triggered by entering the tutorial. You know, that thing that new players will click on first. GG Freejam...
And they say they're all about "new player retention."

I have no choice but to quit due to having my account bricked by the aforementioned bug.

Stay the ♥♥♥♥ away from this game.
