I recently picked this game up with a few friends after seeing it for sale on steam and it has become my latest obsession. I’m not really good at the game, but decent enough to not get my ass kicked every session, and the PvE components make it a nice twist on the battle royale style gameplay it’d otherwise suffer from.
