Lawbreakers has some rough edges and it’s had a bit of a bumpy launch, but under the issues is a really solid arena FPS that has wacky, chaotic, and fun moments. It could use more players and some tweaking, but it has the makings of an FPS classic.

In overall, Bleszinski's latest game is hardcore but imperfect shooter. It may not be welcomed by everyone, but for those who played games like Unreal Tournament and have experienced the hardcore feeling, given by Bleszinski's creations, will completely enjoy the heavy and challenging  gameplay of LawBreakers.

LawBreakers is an online arena of unprecedented rage and wild drive that, despite its high entry threshold and other shortcomings, is highly addictive. Its diffucult to call this game original, and it runs the risk of falling into the abyss of oblivion due to unreasonably low popularity. But it is fun to shoot and perfect the mastery of each class. Blezinski's team did exactly what the hearts of true fans of the genre require.

Lawbreakers is a fast, fun and flashy shooter, yet, unfortunately, it suffers from obsolete ideas! To be honest, Lawbreakers has nothing new to offer comparing to its rivals and this has caused the last work of Cliff Bleszinski to attract a small number of players.

Overall Lawbreakers is fun and I've enjoyed my time playing it. But it remains to be seen if it can garner and maintain a healthy player base.

Despite my many grievances, once I actually learned how to play the game, I did have fun. However, getting to that level of competence was certainly not helped by the game in any way, shape or form and as it becomes more and more difficult to find matches online as the weeks go by, I can't help but wonder if it's even worth it to take a risk boarding what may very well be a sinking ship.

Cliff Bleszinski’s first post-Epic title successfully marries old school elements with modern hero shooter trappings without ever feeling like something we’ve played before.

LawBreakers is fun and fast and a breath of fresh air for a space that needed some infusion of change from the monolith and trends dominating the genre. LawBreakers should be played by all fans of the genre, and all comparisons be thrown out the window; just enjoy the rush, literally. Become #SkilledAF.

A welcome surprise that does almost everything ok but keeping its online community hooked to the game.

LawBreakers' greatest attribute lies in its great low-gravity combat paired with a solid roster of characters. Having said that, the game modes lack any creativity, which results in a game that doesn't have enough charisma to define itself.

Lawbreakers will forever be compared to Overwatch, but its much more than a clone. Thanks to the developers' roots, the fast-paced action calls back to the arena shooters of the old days. This-class based shooter successfully break the unwritten laws of the genre.

LawBreakers is an intense FPS where mobility is just as important as precision aiming. Learning how to fall and fly requires a bit of a learning curve but that's the thrill. Using gravity to your advantage and plowing through enemies as they were confetti.

Lawbreakers is a fantastic game. It has brought back the arena shooter genre in a way that it needed to come back for a long time.

It's fast paced, it gets the gametypes right and tries to be something new instead of just releasing another generic FPS to the market.

If you gave me the choice between playing Overwatch and playing LawBreakers, I’d choose this. This is a game where any class is helpful and doesn’t have to rely on strict roles to be successful in each match. I do wish the tutorials would acclimate people better into the game, but it isn’t hard to grasp on your own. The modes, classes, and weapons all look and feel the sci-fi part. The biggest crime in LawBreakers is that not enough people are playing it. For what’s here, LawBreakers is a steal at its price, and an absolute blast to play solo or with friends.

LawBreakers is truly a wild ride. No other game delivers crazy and dynamic battles with no gravity like this one. With many classes and modes, you NEED to try it for yourselves.

A handful of the ideas in LawBreakers seem like concepts that are past their sell-by date, from the dubstep soundtrack to the cyber soldier aesthetic. That's a genuine shame because beneath all that, is a mechanically exciting game. The aerial combat feels fresh, and the twists on standard shooter game modes are solid attempts at flipping the script. But LawBreakers' confusing hero design, poor tutorial system and unbalanced maps all sabotage an otherwise good game.

LawBreakers is good. But it doesn’t feel polished to the level that frequent online shooter players have come to expect. It’s character design philosophy is often at odds with the design of its levels and game modes, and while that doesn’t completely bite away at the fun, it does do damage to what is otherwise a technically well-conceived package.

LawBreakers is a fast, fierce, fun shooter. It's just a shame that I'm not very good at it! That's not a problem, though, thanks to the objective-based gameplay that's pushed to the forefront of this gravity-bending hero shooter. So if you, like me, are crap at shooters but really want to get involved, LawBreakers will welcome you with open arms. Then its players will crush you with mad floaty parkour skills, but that's all part of the charm. Right?
