theres no ranked system so as a new player you'll instantly be put with pros, the game is very hard to cling onto and get a grip of how to play, and the balancing is a bit weird like the shoebill being objectively worse than every other bird ingame. however the combat is fun, birds are amazing, consistent updates, good patches, little to no bugs, and just really good overall. worth the money
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat was really fun and I think if you had a bunch of friends to play private matches with, you could have a good time.
Graphics

for the experience that i have got for now the game is realy realy great, the pvp on itself is great, the matchmaking is bad it needs fixing(i got mached into a 1v1v3 that doesnt make sense) graphics are mid to high and the game doesnt lag at all with my pc that is mid range
Difficulty

Don't let the early skill ceiling fool you, it gets incredible once it clicks.
