Think of this game as a mix between RB6: Siege, AC Syndicate, and The Division. Each game had it fair share of issues but also had parts of it I really liked. The movement in this game is very similar to that of AC and Division (I know it uses the same engine as AC, not sure about Division) and the customization is very similar to that of RB6. Don't get me wrong though, it's still different in a sense and has it's flaws.
The reason this game does it for me is because it is a Hack & Slash kind of game and it's a first in a while that brings back a setting I really enjoy. Combat is fun, game types are generic but incorporated into the idea very well. Fair share of network issue, but not as bad as Division and RB6 had.
Nonetheless, the fact that this is a Hack & Slash game that brings me back to my old school LOTR games back on the PS2 is what gets it for me. Unfortunately it's not something I see myself playing once I pick up Mass Effect or another one of the big titles that's dropping in March.
EDIT: Matchmaking needs to be a little more fair. Can't have a team with a gear level of 150, face off against a team with 75. I've been on both ends of this and it DOES make a huge difference.
