This would be fine if matchmaking wasn't so terrible. Give us even ranked teams, then make those teams stay in the game longer

And the Play of the Game goes to...

Bastion, for his ability to sit still and hold the left click down!

@drumjod: And? All he said was that he likes Battleborn. Metacritic scores aren't the absolute representation of quality.

@Tiwill44: 20 minutes? On what platform? I play constantly and it takes me like 1 minute, no matter the group size.

I hope it does well, it's a great game. As a fan of games like Smite and Team Fortress 2, this game manages to fit nicely in between without making itself redundant.

The biggest issue I see is the poor matchmaking. It doesn't take long and all to group up players on PS4, but it seems to do so arbitrarily. My group of 5 level 20-50s should not be matched with a bunch of individual 5-20s. They do have the option of declining the match, which helps, but I do feel bad for the teams that don't. They get stomped, and I don't want to discourage people from playing just because the matchmaking is poor.

@red666devil: The aspect of the game they have examined in this review-in-progress - which, in turn, is more than likely the aspect they examined at the review event - they considered "underwhelming". They game could still get a 9 or a 10 (though highly unlikely in regard to the latter), but that would be heavily based on their experience of the game outside of the review event.

@jasonw1978: This isn't math. 10 doesn't mean perfect, it's simply the highest grade they will give.

@JKnaperek: You can find plenty of them here:
