I just do not get it? This game is bad, is Valve done?

I've played one game and I find the store to be way too complicated, in fact the game is way too complicated it is like Artefact.... Hearthstone was huge because it was simple, yet deep. However this game is complicated from the get go and I just couldn't understand what was going on, I couldn't understand what I needed to buy... There was so many options that I just randomly bought anything and hoped for the best. I lost against easy bots..... Like, even me being an idiot should be able to win against easy without understanding the game on a first match.

The major thing I wanted to harp on about here is it looks so bland, I get asset flip Unity Engine vibes. Graphically this is not a game that should be coming out from Valve. Why It worries is because Artefact was so bad looking, like OMG do they have animators any more? It looks like what you'd think the original concept of TF2 looked like. I really hope this is a bare bones thing and all the graphics and personality are to be added on later.

Then the gameplay has no feel to it, I'm running around shooting and it's like playing a MOBA.... Well why isn't it a MOBA? Cause the third person shooting part of it is the weakest. There is no feel or feedback when shooting, it's as if you're just holding down a button and numbers come out. Then don't have it as a shooter :/

Honestly I think it is trash in it's current state and I'm worried because this is the third game in a row now from Valve that I actively hate. I'm including Alyx there because when you boil that game down, it is a poor game and I just think people with VR headsets are easily amused because all the games are so bad.

Anyways..... Thanks to the guy that gave me an invite, but I hope Valve cancels this game before they get embarrassed. That or this really is an early Alpha....

valve factually bled a lot of their artists, writers and in general their creative staff
it shows

they still contract them every now and then but only to try and salvage what they already done without them, like they did for hl:alyx where they had to pull back mid production jay pinkerton and erik wolpaw since the story was garbo

There's thing to criticise about this game but almost none of you complaints are valid. The game isn't any more complicated that Dota 2. And I don't know if anyone has told you this but its still in Beta, everything is subject to improvement and change.

Visually there is still a bit of work to do, but the visual style is great in my opinion. An interesting inspired world and great character designs.

Yep, agreed, and the animation blending for movement at different health levels, peeking around corners etc is great; the VA's are great too.
