The verdict
A GTA-on-Mars sandbox with best-in-class building destruction but a bland story, repetitive missions and weak gunplay. Skip it if you want more than demolition.
Great for
Players who love blowing up buildings with a sledgehammer, explosives and vehicles in a sandbox
Main risk
Destruction novelty wears off, leaving repetitive missions, endless enemies and weak shooting
What players love
Fun vehicles, mechs and weapons
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews
