I feel like since the last playtest not much has changed apart from the option to change the grapple animation. The game just feels so off for so many reasons, grappling feels so delayed, items feel different (an example being unable to hold shockwaves and make them shoot further ahead), you can't change direction whilst sliding, on most maps the slopes just don't line up correctly either.
After being told that the physics / mechanics would be very similar in sr 1, I'm disappointed that this hasn't really happened, basic mechanics like reach grappling isn't even in sr 2 and spam grappling just isn't as effective as it should be.
Whilst the game looks aesthetically pleasing it would be nice to have the option to switch these graphics off like you can in sr 1, the bright colours and bright character outlines can feel very obstructive. Perhaps having graphics switched off like in SR1 could be an option?
I also think making the game peer to peer like s1 instead of regional servers would be better for the long term health of the game. Some players can’t find matches because of their region and are forced to switch to a different region which makes the game even more delayed and unfun than it already feels.
