Disintegration Reviews
Disintegration's blend of FPS and RTS is an interesting one, but unfortunately it fails to fully deliver on both. It's a competent game and can be fun at times, but most of its mechanics fail to work in the simplest of ways. Maybe with a little, more time Disintegration could have been something special.
There’s a lot of squandered potential in both this title and the franchise itself, and I hope that V1 Interactive is able to salvage this release in the weeks to come. Some much needed focus will greatly improve the package.
While some people will probably like Disintegration, it honestly doesn't have much going for it. It's a first-person shooter where you feel like that teammate that's there, but not really doing anything and a real-time strategy that is hard to control and doesn't give you very many options. Combine these with a story that relies on a cool premise to get past generic missions and you have an underwhelming experience. Online might be enough to save this long term or anyone looking for unique experience but for most people, you're probably going to just get frustrated.
Incorporating RTS-style unit management into a (somewhat) fast-paced first-person shooter seems like a jarring concept on paper, but V1 Interactive has delivered something that actually works quite well…on the surface
Unfortunately, Disintegration has not worked well in combining first-person shooter style with tactics and strategy.

So, with its online multiplayer seemingly unable to get off the ground from the outset, Disintegration is only worth picking up at this point for its single-player campaign. With even that having its fair share of issues, however, it’s hard to recommended. There’s quite a bit to like, and the groundwork that has been laid would make for a great follow up with a better story and more strategic depth, but ultimately Disintegration feels like a hollow shell of what it could have been.
Disintegration held a lot of potential, and while its gravcycle is novel, the rest of the package doesn’t live up to the strategy it promises.
With the multiplayer being DOA on PS4, at least, the game is left feeling oddly hallow at launch, but there’s enough campaign and replayability to hold the attention of players for 15-30 hours as you max out your squads level, abilities and track down each chapters secrets.
Disintegration offers a mid-level gaming experience with poor story presentation below my expectations and unfulfilled gameplay of the RTS part of the game. The multiplayer part, which has a great potential, is spent due to the low number of customization options and low number of players.

Disintegration is solid, but incredibly uninspired. The gravcycle and squad gameplay that defines it works when it’s allowed to, but it suffers due to slow pacing in single-player mode. Its multiplayer is also just that; serviceable.
For a project with veteran people in the market, a small team, and being the studio's debut game, I think Disintegration was a good start for V1 Interactive but with points that deserve attention to please a larger audience. It also has a very cool science fiction narrative, with characters presenting strong and very characteristic personalities. I think it would even make a good series for Netflix. A new approach to gameplay mixing two very different genres, with a multiplayer mode which even if it doesn't have the best service, can improve, make this an interesting title for those who like new things..

Overall, this was a solid effort that felt quite polished. Unfortunately, it’s missing the most important thing in video games—fun. Perhaps some updates could fix this, but it would take a creative overhaul to do so.
Even though Disintegration has very enjoyable gunplay and the crew is very easy and useful to utilize, this doesn't give a pass to the inadequate graphics, the lack of unique enemies, the bugs, an unsatisfying ending, and many other elements of this game that with more time, could have been improved drastically. The game has a very cool concept of combining the first-person shooter genre with a real-time strategy game, but unfortunately lacks the necessity of an entertaining game to back the concept.
Disintegration is a game of would-have-beens.
Disintegration offers a mix of FPS and RTS from Halo co-creator but it lacks fun and good gameplay.

Some good points for effort but in the end, it's an unpolished mix of a shooter and strategy that doesn't do either of those two well.
Disintegration is not the next great sci-fi action franchise (as if we really need another), but hopefully, it can be a stepping stone to something more distinctive and unique from V1 in the future.
Disintegration is an innovative mix of FPS and RTS from one of the original creators of Halo, but it just can't live up to its promising premise.
The flaws in Disintegration's execution are easy to spot. Restrictive level design and a limp narrative hamper the single-player, while the multiplayer suffers from a dearth of content and no way to make the squad combat sing. Perhaps a sequel could expand on the genuinely good ideas V1 has brought to the FPS table. Disintegration is an interesting genre blend that ultimately falls short.
The game's attempts to distinguish itself from other first-person shooters ultimately feel superficial.
