  5.0

  Forced offers some unconventional mechanics and an assortment of creative mission objectives, tied together by attractive environments that are pleasant to explore right up until the moment they turn on you. It's a challenging game with built-in reasons to revisit familiar areas, but it's also too demanding for its own good, and the results are more frustrating than satisfying.

  If you can muster a dedicated group to play FORCED then, chances are, you’ll have a good time of it. Although the core gameplay isn’t robust enough for most tastes, there’s fun to be had in co-ordinating a team of powerful gladiators, cleaving through wave after wave of enemies. Lacking a progressive sense of dynamism, however, this fun factor soon deteriorates while never manifesting at all if you happen to be playing on your own.

  Unfortunately right now there’s problems a plenty with servers, no matchmaking and lack of friend invites, It’s not exactly easy to get a match. These things really should be standard from day one. Of course this is all getting patched in the days to come, but it’s hard to recommend when they’ve not included it yet.
