Backpack Battles

in another effort to review every video game that has helped distract me from the crushing weight of my own mortality and the unavoidable horrors of the human condition: i'd give this game a 7/10 with the footnote: [i] i really enjoy that this game plays itself so i can doomscroll while i play and further harm my attention span [/i]

I can see why many people love this game. The build variety is insane. Almost every item can combine into something else, and the number of possible strategies feels enormous. There is clearly a lot of depth here. The problem is that the game constantly asks me to remember information instead of helping me use it. I spent most of my first hour opening the recipe book, scanning through pages of item icons, trying to remember what combines into what, then opening it again a few minutes later because I already forgot. It felt less like making strategic decisions and more like taking an open-book exam. I still managed to win my first full run, but honestly, I wasn't thinking much about synergies or long-term planning. I mostly picked items that could merge into something useful because keeping track of everything else was exhausting. I can imagine that after dozens of hours, once all those recipes become muscle memory, the game becomes much more enjoyable. But getting to that point requires far more memorization than I personally enjoy. The depth is there, but the amount of information management between me and that depth was too much. If you enjoy learning and memorizing large crafting trees, you'll probably love it. If you prefer games that surface information clearly and let you focus on decisions rather than memory, your experience may be very different.

I came back yesterday, and among the NUMEROUS new changes and features, they gave new Engineer class the largest rack. So glad the team behind this game are people of exquisite culture. Also dunking on my friends as an OP Waterbender!

自从发现此游可以合成多款式的彩虹黏黏后，一切流派都不重要了.jpg 赞美黏黏！

非常可笑的平衡。设计师应该不玩这个游戏，不知道怎么做平衡性调整。

游戏没问题，但是我会给每一个有elo匹配机制的pvp游戏打0分，喜欢玩锤匕排大盾刺墙吗？喜欢玩debuff排舞龙吗？喜欢组件刚好够就连败吗？不夸张的说这游戏的匹配机制堪比王者荣耀，最大的问题还是平衡性稀烂，制作组不玩游戏只看数据，明明是通过同样的运营达成的套路，同稀有度同价格的情况下强度也能天差地别，看似选择很多实际上就只是在那几个强的套路间来回选

It was fun at first, but I can't recommend the game in its current state. I can't shake the feeling that there is some kind of forced 50% win rate system similar to the one people often talk about in Dota 2. You can put together a strong build that counters multiple mechanics at once, only to then get matched against 4-5 hard counters in a row during your extra matches. Running a healing build? Suddenly you face opponents with 3-4 cursed helmets, sometimes for two games in a row, making your healing completely useless. Running a physical damage build without a perfect sapphire in your weapon? Here comes a series of opponents stacking 2-3k armor. Running a buff build? Suddenly almost everyone has iron chains, dolls, and similar items that strip all your buffs away. As a result, my rating just keeps hovering around Diamond, and it's incredibly difficult to climb higher. I've played the game for many hours, and I didn't have this feeling a year ago. Back then, it didn't feel like the matchmaking was deliberately giving me counterpicks to stop my rating from increasing too quickly. Maybe it's just bad luck, but after playing for so many hours, the pattern feels a little too consistent to ignore.
