Played a bit. Small review:
Plus:-
--F2P and not pay 2 win. Well you can still buy characters and their cards but it doesnt matter much, it all comes down to player's execution and skills. F2P guys can get them sooner or later, with the gold they get after each match.
--Low system requirement. Can be run on low end systems and laptops.
--Matches are found pretty fast. Like sometimes, it just takes me 4-5 secs to find a match. Normally it takes 10-15 secs.
--No flaming by players. Or may be, they cant do it because no one have time for that amidst match.
--Customization galore. Not only hero cosmetics, which doesnt really matter to some, Im talking about skill customization. I liked that a lot. You can literally select which active skill you wanna power up and which not so much. And there are lots of cards which sync with other to power up a particular skill. The only solid USP of this game.
Minus:-
--Servers issue is the most prominent. Right now only 4 regions are covered: NA, EU, Brazil and Australia. There isnt a server for SEA region so far. I have been playing Aus server, with some lag that is.
--In game sound. I cant really point it out but sound effects for some actions are very annoying, I dunno may be its just me on Laptop. I tried the game on both PC and Laptop and it was noticeable on Laptop only.
Cant really think of anything else right now. This feedback is on the basis of 2 hrs of game which comprises of 1 tutorial match and 5 casual matches.
PS: I havent played Overwatch or Battleborn. But I have watched both of these games streams and videos. On that basis, I can safely say that Overwatch >= Paladins >>> Battleborn.
BB is out of this contest in my opinion. Overwatch is slightly better than Paladins, I wont disagree with that. That game looks a bit more "polished" I should say. I can safely conclude it by saying, if Paladins wasnt F2P at all OR it didnt have that card skill customization, this would have been a total failure. But gratz to Hi-Rez studioz, they did a pretty damn good job in making this game a unique experience.
PPS: Those who are saying that Paladins is a copy of Overwatch (I also thought same not a while ago), IT IS NOT THAT AT ALL. This page explains all from the scratch. So thats that....
Thats all for now. I'd recommend you to try this game if you ever played TF2 before and like it, even a bit. OR if you really wanted to play Overwatch but couldnt afford it just yet (like me).
My ign is WhiteyFang (since WhiteFang was taken)
See ya there...
