Yeah, graphics are pretty but the gameplay is straight from 2002. No reliable lock-on, zero synergy between teammates, shit ai, groups of enemies teleporting in, health regen by picking up glowing balls (for fuck's sake), clunky controls, bugged missions, tacked-on loot mechanics, day one cosmetic DLC (which was enough by itself to kill Evolve, which was actually fun)... the list goes on for miles. Play the demo and you've seen 100% of what the game offers short of the final boss. Yes, the ones in the demo are the only villain cameos in the game.
The game plays like it was made by teams of students.
I'm not attempting to justify. The gaming collective has a short and very selective memory. DLC wasn't done well by Avengers and it deserves the hate, but it was done countless times between 2015 and Avengers and you only hear about it when it's a publisher everyone hates. Square mostly gets glossed over.

"The game plays like it was made by teams of students."
It probably was. Unpaid ones. Looking for "expo ..." I mean, something to put on their resume. What are those called again? Oh, yeah. "Chumps".
