✦ AI summary

PlanetSide Arena was a large-squad battle royale spin-off that some players found genuinely fun with unique mechanics, but it shut down within a month of launch due to poor reception and community backlash from PlanetSide fans who felt it diverted resources from PlanetSide 2. Players now cannot access the game at all, and most view it as a failed experiment that wasted studio resources better spent on fixing existing franchise titles.

Actually a fun game closed down in less than 1 month after launch. On the flip side this was much needed money wasted that could've been spent on Planetside 2 fixing the bugs and gameplay issues. Very disappointing move from Daybreak Games.

this game was allot more fun than anything i;ve ever experienced in planetside 1 & 2.... it has it's own niche and appeal to it and good for the die-hard fans of the franchise for sticking with it.... but planetside is absolutely boring af after about 2 weeks... this game however was an immense amount of fun! held its own as a BR with interesting game systems and mechanics!... but the very die-hards i just mentioned are the reason this game died... all the goofy planetside cry babies review bombed this game into the ground because they were upset about the franchise experimenting and innovating in a new space, and we all know what happens when the try hard cry babies get a hold of a games reviews... you'll see reviews claiming this small project was the reason the franchise died but it's pretty obvious the toxic community is the reason the franchise died, and that same community squashed their attempt at breaking the mold that clearly wasn't succeeding lol as if a planetside 3 would have garnered any more people who ignored 1 and 2 is moronic... but again the die-hards won't admit that... RIP planetside arena... aka the only good planetside game

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
