The game is constantly being improved. Right now, it’s in a pretty sweet spot: it’s well balanced, there’s lots to do, and progressing has a good pace and feels rewarding. Guilds recently blossomed from weird and random to actual communities with chat and a fun array of specific goals you and your guildmates can work together to complete. The revamped guild system has been a huge invitation back into the game for me after having drifted away for over a month back when the difficulty was more punishing than rewarding, and the January 2021 update basically perfected Settlements and Watch Towers. I do prefer location-based games with higher concepts and richer aesthetics, but I guess that those scare people because Geomon was nuked, CodeRunner was abandoned, and Ingress, despite being the foundation upon which Pokémon Go and Wizards Unite was built, continues to wallow in relative obscurity. Anyway, I can’t fault this game for not trying to mess with my head and pretending to secretly not be a game. It’s fun, it’s engaging, it’s RESPONSIVE (I’m frowning at you, Pokemon Go), it’s rewarding. I don’t often give out five-star scores, but I’ve given this some serious thought and it just deserves one. Join us! Have fun!
