Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced adventure may bounce off the continuing action-focused combat.
- Users wanting a finished multiplayer feature may hit a wall because multiplayer is still being completed.
- Players who prefer climbing, puzzle, or runner-focused gameplay may not find the shooter structure suitable.
Our take on X-17
The likely bounce point arrives for players expecting multiplayer at launch, since that feature is still being completed. Those who continue may also encounter bugs while the Early Access work proceeds, despite the story and level design being described as complete.
What is X-17?
X-17 is an action shooter played from first- or third-person perspectives.
