Freefall Tournament : Steam Greenlight

Hello!
This is NotYourOrdinarySliceofBread.
Today I will be making a game review about Freefall Tournament.

Freefall Tournament is a third-person shooter game that has been recently greenlit by Steam.
What's so good about Freefall Tournament that I will make a review about it???
Well first of all, it's free. When I say free, no downloads, no money needed to play( although if you want to help the game dev, you can buy some of their in-game currency packs or even hero packs with real money).
It's also an online game played around the world, so you might make friends or foes in different countries.
It's a web based TPS game that is free to play, but sadly, as the game got greenlit in Steam, it suddenly turned into a Pay 2 Win game, that is a downside of this good game. The game used to have 5 heroes free per week,  but now, the free hero weekly rotation suddenly reduced to only ONE hero per week.
But I must say, I had fun while it lasted.
Another downside of this game being so popular is it's toxic community. People talking trash about how you play or how your allies play, people talking trash about how their enemies play, I mean, a bunch of trashtalkers suddenly got in-game when it became so popular. It feels like it's getting a bit mainstream for a popular game. For example, the online community of CoD. Yes, the famous (or maybe infamous due to it's popularity for the number of toxic players playing the game) CoD franchise, has been a den of toxic players ever since it got popular.
Having a toxic community in a popular game is inevitable. It'll happen as long as your game gets popular. The downside of this? Players will hesitate on playing due to allies and/or enemies judging every move you make, and to add to that, as they judge, they add foul words to their judgments.
Now, this game is a competitive TPS game for players who like to grind on their games, not to mention that players only get one free hero every week.
But overall, I rate this game 8/10. Why 8 Toasty? Well, simple. I just want to say that the game has potential in it, maybe if they have a banning system or maybe a reporting system, toxic players and those who cause the game to have a bad reputation will be banned and will be given a lesson.
And yes, that's my only complaint about the game, it's toxic community.
Nonetheless, try out the game yourself! See if you''ll encounter toxic or friendly players. But just a reminder, if you DO encounter toxic players and they start to talk trash, let them be. Let them flood the chat and make them look like an idiot (lol).

So this has been NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, be a toxic player and players will be toxic to you.
