Yeah I'm having a great time with it too, mostly playing solo campaign, I intend to play it coop later on too. It's like an open world shoot em up, if that makes sense...retro game design, fast responsive gameplay, and everything is accessible from the start & very few gated areas which gives you a sense of freedom. It's a very visual game too which I like, I'm spending a lot of time looking around the map trying to find hidden orbs and such, I rarely spend time in menus when I play this game. To me it looks stunning on the X, the way the game looks is part of the appeal for me since I spend a lot of time looking around for orbs. I like the soundtrack too.
I wasn't really looking for a normal open world game, I find them a big time commitment and I choose those games carefully because then I might just end up with another unfinished open world game in my backlog. It's not for everyone and it depends what you are looking for in your open world title, and in that sense since it is going against common expectations then I think it is good that it's on Gamepass, so people on the fence can play it easily & judge for themselves and I'm seeing a ton of positive reactions which is great.
The multiplayer is a mixed bag for me, didn't really dig my first few matches but yesterday I had fun playing and I was doing better, it's just utter mayhem & I think when party mode comes out people will enjoy it more for what it is. Anyways I think the release of this game for me was interesting overall from many perspectives, I'm glad I kept an open mind and decided to get it, initially I did not want to even play it.
