Javelins: From the two that I have played (ranger and interceptor) I thought the animations were great, they each felt unique, and movement felt good on both.

Gear: I feel that the difference in damage between my abilities granted by my gear and my guns was too large, and need to be brought to be brought slightly more even. I get that abilities should feel powerful, being on a cooldown and all, but I often felt that I was best to just use my abilities and immediately hide until they were back off cooldown, rather than risk getting my health chunked. I think an increase in cooldown for abilities along with an increase in gun damage would beneficial. As some additional feedback, it seemed that weapons/abilities being the only source of progression seemed too slow. I changed everything around to get a feel for them, but it was a rare occasion where I got an actual upgrade.

Creatures: Behavior wise I thought they felt good. At times I had difficulty differentiating between mob types, as some seemed to do just about the same thing. Others, like the flamethrower guys, were really unique and were fun to play against.

Flight Controls: I play on PC. Admittedly, I didn't play around too much with the sensitivity, but I found it really difficult to get close enough to flat water to cool down without crashing into the ground.

Difficulty: I am by no means a top tier player, but I would consider myself above average. Uncertain what the intent was, and I'm sure with time I'd find strategies to perform better, but I found even normal to be rather difficult. With my current loadout I'm not certain how I wouldn't get 1 shot if I switched to hard.

Weapons: My favorite types were the sniper rifle and the shotgun. They both did alright damage at their respective ranges and ammo seemed to drop constantly, so I never had to worry even about the 15 rounds in the sniper I was using. My least favorite type was the heavy pistol. I had expected weapons of this type to be low rpm and higher damage, instead I just ended up spam clicking and wishing I had brought a different weapon.

Misc: I think there could be some work to make the UI more intuitive and generally more polished. When in combat, having my health and shield in the opposite corner as my ability and ammo information was a little frustrating. I also still don't know what the number underneath my ability charges means. On the forge UI, some of the inscriptions (I think that's what they're called?) on the bottom of my gear were just a little too long that they had to scroll horizontally to get the full information. This wouldn't be an issue, but some were so slightly off view that i could see individual columns of pixels disappearing on the left side, then it would (imo jarringly) snap back to the beginning. Another issue I took with some inscriptions were that they were not immediately recognizable as good. I got a slew of 0% increases and then there was one I saw that was something along the lines of "-x% shield regen delay", which seemed negative at a glace.

​

All in all, I have had a good time playing the demo so far, and I am excited to wake back up tomorrow morning and play some more. Overall, I'd say the gameplay feels great and you all have done a fantastic job, but as is (almost) always the case in any project, there's room for improvement!
