It feels like everyone wants to have a live service game with a battle pass now.

I have battle pass fatigue. The only battle pass I've (technically kind-of) paid for was for Destiny 2 (because my kids bought me the Digital Deluxe edition of The Witch Queen).

The thing about a battle pass is that the game needs to be enjoyable enough without the battle pass, to make me want to come back and be willing to pay for a battle pass, and you need to have enough of a player base to make the game enjoyable.

The number of battle passes I'm currently paying for: 0.

The Cycle: Frontier fails on both of those fronts. It's a PvPvE "extraction" game, apparently similar to Escape from Tarkov (which I haven't played).

In TC:F you drop to a planet, try and collect a bunch of stuff, and then get-off planet before dying or being killed. You die? You lose EVERYTHING you were carrying.

However, it appears that TC:F has significant PvP balance issues (low playerbase?), meaning you're just as likely to get headshot on the evac ship by a high-level player. In the 69 mins I played, I didn't see another human player on the planet.

The Cycle: Frontier is just:

2: Meh
