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.

There's a firm foundation for a great competitive shooter here, but the rest of the house needs to be built on it sooner rather than later. LawBreakers needs ultra-skilled players to come in and show the rest of us what's possible, but they need a competitive format to entice them in. Until that happens it's a dizzying and consistently exciting shooter, but one whose long-term appeal isn't yet locked in.

"LawBreakers" is a speedy, chaotic addition to the shooter market, but might struggle to break through.

In terms of exciting moments and fun, varied competitive combat, LawBreakers has a great lock on what makes players want to play, both from the fast-paced competitive side and the specialized character side. While it could do with more in the way of tutorials to teach players how to play, it does an excellent job of balancing each match to feel immediate and competitive, while also keeping the cadence that makes some of the slower multiplayer games more fun to play. It's inexpensive launch price and promise never to tread the waters of microtransactions help to sell a game that is easy to pick up and fun to play, but has enough nuance to keep players coming back for a long time.

It doesn't have the colourful personality of Overwatch, but give Lawbreakers a chance. Get beyond the steep learning curve and you'll find a team-based shooter packed with smart ideas and interesting mechanics, where great movement capabilities and a fine mix of weapons keep the action furious and fun.

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' world and characters don't carve deep impressions, but the experience itself exerts a strong pull with its diverse, balanced classes, solid selection of modes, and stellar gunplay. It's more than a nice distraction from its looming competitors, and while the map design and implementation of gravity leave more to be desired, the game has the potential to further defy gravity and our expectations if it keeps shooting for the moon.

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

The most important thing I can say about this game is that it is fun. Very, very fun. When I open the game, join a match and start playing, I have an amazing time. The raw energy behind the movement, the weight behind the weapons, the satisfaction of landing hits and bouncing off walls. It all comes together to create a unique, memorable FPS experience, and I look forward to seeing what Boss Key Productions does to expand it in the future.

Boss Key Productions' first crack at making a first-person shooter has resulted in something that stands out from the competition, scratching the itch of players looking for a classic arcade shooter experience, with the benefits of modern game design.

One of the best arena shooters of recent years, but its high skill requirement and bland characters create an unfortunately high barrier to entry.

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.

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.

Nimble, graceful, and original, LawBreakers' movement sets it apart from other FPSes despite a few aesthetic weaknesses.

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.

In general we can say that we are in front of a great title, really rich and varied and ready to offer interesting ideas, both at the level of fun and at the competitive level. Too bad for its little "reputation" in the community, but we hope that with time it will emerge and have the right space!

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 not only another Hero Shooter, but it still packs lots of fun skillful games and fast paced action, maybe the marketing campaign didn't make things right but as soon as so many players discovers what the game could truly offer and the have the chance to try they will leave other games to collect the dust and stick with this one.
