Did you play BG3 when it was a steaming pile of ♥♥♥♥, or after it was all the hype? if you're the former, play stormgate, if youre the latter, dont bother.

Do you believe marketing bs from other companies and expect early access to essentially mean a complete product? Then this isn't for you. If you're willing to deal and contribute to a developing product and to temper your expectations, then maybe.

This game is still early access, and what that functionally means, is large parts of it are still practically in beta (at best) / unreleased and or heavily incomplete. Its absolutely a work in progress.

1v1 is in a good spot and if thats all you care about, its worth playing if you like rts, but if youre easily put off by unfinished products, dont. You'll hate it.

Numerous features are still lacking, there are bugs, balance is evolving (there was a patch like 2 days before going into early access because of how bad balance was), visuals, lighting and ambient occlusion arent complete, theres a lot that needs improvement and work, so it may put you off.

1v1 is by far the most complete of the game modes, and is tons of fun, slower than sc2, faster than war3, with some great quality of life features to make macro and general annoying ♥♥♥♥ more accessible. Suprisingly well balanced all things considered

Co-op and campaign need a lot of work, theyre where 1v1 was a year ago. But i found them both quite a lot of fun none the less, definitely has a lot of promise. But dont come in expecting a highly polished or refined campaign or co-op, theres still literally placeholder art.

I have a lot of hope that co-op and campaign will have their issues sorted and will be amazing, as will the unreleased 3v3 mode based purely on how much has improved from the alpha to here in terms of 1v1.

They've crafted a beautiful solid foundation on which to build the rest of the game, what you'll be seeing and playing is that foundation.

A lot of the mixed reviews you're seeing are people who promised themselves things based off of what frostgiant said, without actually paying attention to what was happening, and who dont understand development cycles, or are just butthurt its not starcraft 3.

Overall, game is great fun in 1v1 and the devs have really taken a ton of feedback on board in line with their development processes and goals.

I have been in since the alpha, also backed on kickstarter as an ultimate founder and cant say i regret or feel cheated at all, game is tons of fun, the most i've had in a very long time, makes me want to have a lan.
