The Bottom Line: Fallen Earth



Graphics-9/10
Not the highest quality, but still very detailed mapping gives you a good sense of the post apocalyptic setting.

Gameplay-8/10
Hack and slash combat with melee weapons and fps combat with guns makes it intense and takes skill to take down the toughest foes. Still, the world does seem a bit too big and exploration can take many hours out of your play time.

Community-8/10
There are too many starting areas which splits up the players a lot. But other than that, there are tons of ways to play with friends including the new Blood Sports PvP arena.


Overall-8.5/10
+Detail Maps
+Fun Combat
+Massive World
+Intense PvP
-Too Much Exploration
-Too Many Starting Areas
-Small Community

The Bottom Line: APB



Graphics- 9/10
Good looking graphics, but your customized items loose a bit of shine when outside the editor.

Gameplay- 5/10
Repetitive missions, little sense of progression, and frustrating combat mechanics
