After the Microids logo's all I get is a black screen. NOT a great first day release
Unfortunately 20 minutes of play for me on Win 11 w/64gm RAM 8GB graphic ram & all settings on high locked my computer up so bad the only way to get out of it was to physically turn the computer off.
YES you have to be online to play ALL content but you can play it single-player online against bots with ALL content or offline with limited content and that choice is yours. Considering that you have to be online to get it, online to make a post, online to browse and online to write a review I'm not really sure what the issue is with being online. The game description does a pretty good job of describing game play and does address online requirements for some modes of play. It's still a good game even without all content enabled (your choice) and a dollar cheaper than on Steam and with no sales tax. Choose to play single-player online and you get all content and future content for free. Sounds like win/win to me ;)
Even though it is mentioned nowhere on the games description page, WHAT YOU ARE PURCHASING IS A BETA of the final game. I've only played for about half an hour so far and no issues but - I think I would have waited if I had known what I was buying was a BETA.
