10-Second Reality Check

  • Biggest win

    Combat feel is the best in the series, and the endgame has a real ladder to climb.

  • Biggest issue

    The shop and battle pass sit next to a full-price box, and the seasonal reset punishes casual play.

  • Value

    Wait for a sale: the box price plus a season pass is not the value it presents itself as.

Reality Matrix

Overall: Wait

  • Performance

    Runs well on mid-range hardware at 1080p.

  • Stability

    Stable through a full season.

  • Monetization

    Full-price box plus a cosmetic shop and a paid season pass.

  • Always-online

    Requires a connection even in solo play.
