Not to criticize something people enjoy but I bought it and hated the hell out of it. I genuinely consider even its temporary popularity a sign of the decline of shooter gaming as a whole (that or I'm just bored of the genre after playing entirely too much Destiny)

I also learned that the PS Store doesn't let you do returns anymore, even if you've only played about twenty minutes, so fuck off forever Sony, I guess.

Point is, I wonder how many of these players were actually that active in the first place? I bought it because it was basically going viral, and simply could not return it, unlike Palworld.
