Yeah. Ok I get ya. With facing just the computer it's a lot easier.
But yeah, if you didn't enjoy last years may want to wait it out. It's definitely in the same lane as last years game, just with the improvements listed. No big gameplay overhauls other than making it smoother. Have you ever played Fire Pro? Might want to check that out, definitely worth it for 10 bucks.
SOrry for so much questions but how does Quick, Normal, and Epic effect matches?
And also in universe mode, do the special cutscenes happen more often?
