Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A fun, polished hero shooter with great characters, best with friends, but solo play suffers from matchmaking, toxicity, disconnects, pricey skins and a phone-number sign-up wall. Skip it if you play solo or ranked.
Great for
Friend groups who like hero shooters and can shrug off toxicity and expensive cosmetics
Main risk
Solo queue matchmaking and toxic teammates make many matches feel unfair and draining
