The review was written while the game was still in development.
At the moment there is a huge lack of momentum, the wait before the start of the round feels like an eternity. 30-45 seconds is too much, 15-20 would be enough. Yes, this can help beginners who have never played CS or similar games get used to it, but it is better for them to adapt to the pace of the game, and not vice versa. The characters' movement speed also feels slow, and is so. I didn’t like the slowdown after the jump due to the decrease in dynamics.
In general, the game can please you with rare game situations and a different range of emotions, but for me personally it seemed quite boring.
