Meet Your Maker Reviews
From its post-apocalyptic setting to the innovative gameplay and co-op capabilities, Meet Your Maker so far has a lot going for it. The game might be quite different from Behaviour Interactive's existing well-known property, Dead by Daylight, but its unique take on raiding and base building feels like a refreshing step for the developer. Despite being Behaviour’s first base-building game, the game breathes fresh air into the genre, offering players an innovative experience in a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi environment with the perfect formula for emphasizing the community’s creativity. The developers could perfect the game by expanding upon its lore and characters, creating an even more immersive world for fans to explore.
Meet Your Maker is a great mix between Base Building and an Action Roguelike, the game does used the ideas to the fullest but the content can feel stale after a while. Is pretty common to see some fantastic (and tricky) bases but the gadgets and weapons part leaves a big hole that can't be filled only with the building part.

Meet Your Maker manages to streamline the asymmetrical base building and raiding genre thanks to proficient mechanics across both shooting and Minecraft-style construction. It’s entertaining to play, whether you’re hoping in to check on how many people your base has killed and reactivate it or sitting down to raid for a few hours. You never want more because the game always gives you just that.
Meet Your Maker‘s well-realised and unique concept combines two distinctive gameplay styles together. Building bases and raiding others’ creations is a lot of fun, but I do question the longevity of the game thanks to its lacklustre story and progression system. What we have available right now is indeed interesting, with an addictive gameplay loop that is off to a promising start, but it’s a bit lacking in variety.
It’s one of those experiences that you can spend half a day within without feeling the time melt away, made even sweeter with the optional co-op. There’s a little bit of something for everyone lured in by the promises of the Chimera – the first-person shooter elements of raiding harmoniously co-exist alongside the more open sandbox Outpost creation features.
While some truly brilliant player dungeon designs shine through, Meet Your Maker needlessly over-complicates a simple and fun concept to the point of exasperation.
Despite the shallow narrative and somewhat redundant progression systems giving rise to doubts about the overall mass-market appeal, there’s no denying that Behaviour Interactive Inc. has absolutely stuck the landing here with Meet Your Maker. The tension fuelled raiding, accessible base building, and a steady stream of new content coming in via the user-generated levels result in a package that’s fiendishly addictive and incredibly difficult to put down. If you aren’t someone who needs a constantly dangling carrot on a stick to chase, and, like myself, still find gameplay to be king, then this is one trip to the wastelands you certainly won’t want to miss.
Meet Your Maker reminds me a bit of Mario Maker, but much more violent and serious. The player has the opportunity to exercise his creativity and it is fun to go through the levels to complete them. There is nothing wrong with the gameplay, which is responsive and precise. Nevertheless, I still don't know if the game will have the opportunity to shine for several months. While the developers have already planned, and announced, additional content, I have the impression that the content generated by others will not be enough. The experience benefits from being in the PlayStation Plus program since its official release, but will it be enough to make up for the feeling of repetition that sets in within a few hours?

Meet your Maker is a solid new adventure for Behaviour Interactive, boasting a strong community-driven set of systems and mechanics that encourage creativity and ruthlessness in their design. The lack of available options, a poor progression system and grid-locked currencies dull the excitement of raiding somewhat, but the core structure of this outpost should allow it to harvest for some time yet.
Meet Your Maker is a captivating experience that effectively marries the high-octane action of first-person shooters with the creativity and strategy found in world-building games. Despite my initial reservations about my own creative abilities, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the process of designing elaborate bases and raiding those of others. While the game does have its flaws, such as the lack of a deep storyline, limited upgrades, and the kill-box overuse issue, the overall gameplay is still undeniably enjoyable and offers a unique and challenging experience. Whether you're a seasoned gamer with a fondness for FPS games or someone looking to dip their toes into the world-building genre, Meet Your Maker offers a fresh and exciting gaming experience that keeps me coming back for more.
Meet Your Maker is the kind of game that makes you raise an eyebrow, wondering just what you got yourself into, but after a couple of hours you are addicted. It’s extremely original and clever, there’s already enough content to burn and it will only grow from here, and the build tools are great, providing everything you need but without pointless overcomplications. You can even raid outposts in co-op mode with a friend, and while that doubles up the fun factor, it’s not even essential as the game is a joy to play alone as well, so don’t make that extra multiplayer bullet point as something to significantly weigh on your decision to get this game. And get the game you should. Meet Your Maker comes with a compelling gameplay loop of raid-build-upgrade-repeat that always kept me eager for the next few round. Despite my traditional reluctance for anything involving map editors, I was extremely satisfied and even a bit proud of my creation, adding more to it at every opportunity. A great example of how to make a genre mix work, Meet Your Maker is a delicious melting pot, even if I don’t trust the Chimera as far as I can throw it.
Meet Your Maker presents a fun, new take on level-builders like Mario Maker and classical shooters. Running and gunning is a quick and painful way to die here. Instead players should expect a surprisingly tactical take on post-apocalyptic grave robbery that's more than a little light on content at launch. As a live service, developer Behaviour Interactive (also responsible for Dead by Daylight) promises new content in regular intervals and if they can keep that up, this definitely has the potential for a cult classic.

Meet Your Maker is a devious evolution for asynchronous multiplayer via user-generated content, and there’s so much joy in dismantling someone from across the internet with your skill.
Meet Your Maker is a good first step for a game that needs some more content and ideas if it's going to keep any momentum.
