Anyone else got access to the Alpha play test?

I was really quite excited by this game as it's made by ex-battlefield devs, but hugely disappointed. They changed it into being a PvPvE, F2P extraction shooter. Graphics are good with a nice art style but I expected much more for an Unreal 5 Engine game - the graphics are about equivalent quality to the 2019 Metro Exodus. Perfomance is choppy and often you spawn in with a pick axe and are dead within less than 5 seconds. It's getting a lot of negative comments on Steam.

I don't think it's a game I would be interested in playing even if it is free

Yeah I was very interested in this under its initial premise but the move to an extraction shooter has killed off my interest in the title.
 
I wishlisted it when it was announced but removed it with the change to PvPvE.
I just want a decent co-op PVE game!

Fingers crossed for PayDay3 now.
 
Saw some footage for Helldivers 2 there this evening, and I now hope it could scratch that itch for some co-op sci-fi shenanigans. Never played the original, but seems like it was well-liked by those that did. Fingers crossed. I can't take another disappointing co-op release! :p
 
Is it that bad? I play DMZ with friends and the PvP gives it some spice but we mostly concentrate on the PvE element. Arc looks amazing in the trailers...
