sure would love to play this game without being forcibly disconnected at any moment for no reason. sometimes the disconnects are funny, like talking to an npc, and hearing "meow" before the came crashes. some of them are excruciating, like when i disconnect in the middle of a raid. but the worst of them are also some of the most frequent. and by "worst", i mean the game freezes, be it on a black loading screen, or after i die, and the game refuses to let me tab out or close the window to the point where i have to restart my ENTIRE SYSTEM just to remove the damn thing. and i love this game to death! my play time will show as much! its just excruciating that such a long running game that people play TO THIS DAY is built on code that breaks at any and all stimuli to the point where it may as well be wet tissue paper. but to make a long rant short, if you're willing to trudge through all of the crashes, bugs and disconnects and love DC and MMOs, give this a try. but dont risk it if you cant handle frequent issues that only seem to become worse and more frequent by the day.

If you like play a super hero or villain from your past, or still doing it. You will enjoy this game. You will be mentor by on of the three iconic characters. Your main goal is to get strong and defeat your main enemy. But the problem of this game is depend of players by looking for group on duty tab, Big pile of DLC that will make you forget the main story board, and the market space price can be high.

Honestly this is one of the best games i have ever played. It has amazing everything. I really enjoyed using every power and playing for each mentor. But then there's the bad side. After lvl 30 it sorta gets... kinda boring. All episodes cost around $15 which in the end really sucks. and if you want the really dope powers? you gotta pay. Honestly the developers should make EVERYTHING about this game free if they really want a good feedback from the community. And also adding some new mentors and clothing could be neat too. Because honestly playing for the same mentor with the same limited clothing items gets EXTREMLY boring. In the end, this game is really dope and one of my top favorite games (number 2 to be exact) but it could use some touches and fixes. Definetly recomend.
