Don't let the graphics of the game fool you, this game is very much in need of work. On the gameplay end of things the game is fine, good controls and a solid concept but the matchmaking and service is horrible. I have great internet usually but their servers were laggy as hell. Their matchmaking system leaves much to be desired too, leading to every game I played being horrendously unbalanced, some matches being a 4v7 or 3v6. With all of this in mind, I'm not saying this isn't a game with potential, all of this could be fixed in time but I wont be playing this again until they are.

As a member of the community of Placeholder Genesis as well as the Test Pilot program for 2 years I can honestly say this game is not worth your time. While I understand that this game is still in early access, it has been for almost 4 years at this point and it begs the question, "Will this game ever launch?" The FPS PvP in this game is just a copy of CoD 4: Modern Warfare but done to a worse degree even though it has been almost 17 years to learn from. The Battle Craft combat uses a Third Person Camera angle which feels disconnected from the FPS portion of the game and brings out the worst part of the Third Person Camera system as you can hide behind the levels architecture and get easy kills on other players, if there are any in the lobby. The PvE is a bad version of Deep Rock Galactic. Just go buy that DRG as it can be picked up on sale quite often. They have made a choice to use the same weapons for both PvP and PvE so if you see numbers that seem egregious that is the answer. W...

It's genuinely fun when you have other players to play with and against, but it's just not very exciting with bots. The player base has never been more than 30 players at peak with an average of 2 people playing at any time.

[i]{Note: Review written during pre-alpha}[/i] Project Genesis is a combo-shooter, wherein you have both spaceship combat and a close-quarter First Person Shooter. The spaceship combat feels fluid and lively, while the FPS combat feels solid and brutal. The community is very alive on the [url=https://discord.gg/kTQRsJp]Discord[/url], and they organise 2 large playtests every businessday [b](8PM CEST and 2AM CEST)[/b]. These are the best times to play, as it's pretty quiet outside of those times (at the moment). It's a great moment to meet the devs and day-one players! Keep in mind that this game is still in [b]PRE-ALPHA[/b] (not in BETA as another review has said), meaning [i]just 46% of the game has been completed[/i] as of this moment. They are testing the game daily, and are actively communicating with the community about features and what we would like to see. With it being this good already, it shows the potential the fully completed game has!

Looks and plays great, always just bots. I REALLY want to like it but feels dead.

This game is pretty impressive, especially for being in pre-alpha right now. I'm really impressed with the amount of choices for FPS weapons and I'm looking forward to seeing how this game develops. Big fan of the fact it's built on Unreal! I wasn't sure how quickly I would get used to the flying portion of the game since I'm not very experienced with flying and stick to shooters almost exclusively...however, it's pretty easy to pickup the basics since flying in this game isn't nearly as complex as say a flight simulator-style game. Definitely didn't expect this quality out of an indie studio so huge props to the development team! Definitely a game to check out and keep your eye on in the future for sure. Big kudos overall from what I've experienced so far.

This game is beautiful hands down! Very polished for testing?? lol.

cant really even comment on the game itself because i havent even really played... im in north america on the west coast and tried to join games at least six times only to get the same game with one player..... maybe ill try again if the game picks up....
