Wikipedia wrote:Paragon is a third-person multiplayer online battle arena video game. The maps featured in the game are asymmetrical, and bases are located at the two opposite ends of a map. Players are tasked with defeating the enemy team and destroying the core in their base. They can reach their opponents' bases through the three lanes featured in each map. Each lane is protected by defensive towers that protect the bases by attacking any incoming enemies that stand within its range automatically. The lanes are surrounded by jungles. Inside the jungle, players can find additional resources for their teams, at the risk of encountering monsters. There are also shadow pads which temporarily turn players invisible while inside.(these have since been removed and replaced with fog walls which cannot be seen through by anyone regardless of position).

In a match, 10 players are divided into two teams. Each player assumes control of a "Hero". Each hero has their own basic attack and possesses a set of four abilities. Different heroes have different skills and weapons. For instance, Grux, an offensive hero, has the ability to smash enemies, while Muriel, a defensive hero, can aid her allies with a shield. Both teams have minions, which slowly march towards their opponents' bases and support the heroes.

When players kill an enemy hero or destroy an enemy tower, they will gain experience and card points. Before a match is about to start, players can utilize a deck, which allows players to use these card points to purchase upgrades such as health boosts and strength-enhancing artifacts for their heroes and customize them. Heroes and cards are divided into five different affinities. Each hero has two affinities, and can use the cards matching their affinities along with universal cards. Card packs can be purchased by reputation points, which are earned through completing a match. Players can also use real-world currency to boost their reputation points and experience points. According to Epic, the game is not pay-to-win. As a result, players can only purchase cosmetic items with real-world currency. The game also features a replay system, which allows players to observe the match as a spectator.

Q: Where can I link my PSN ID to my Epic account?
A: You can link your account here.

Q: Do I have to link my account to my Epic ID?
A: In order to enable cross progression, you must link your PSN account to your Epic ID. You can do that by visiting this link. If you don’t, you will not be able to carry across in-game progression or purchases and will lose the ability to do so later on.

Q: Will I need to be a PlayStation Plus member to play Paragon?
A: PlayStation Plus is not required to play Paragon online.

Q: I have a friend on PC, can I play with them even though I am on PS4?
A: Yes, crossplay is enabled. You will need to know their EpicID and send them an invite through the in-game Friends Tab.

Q: Will PS4 have full mouse + keyboard support?
A: Yes! We have an early version of this in the game right now.

A 20-minute video of me and Sergei playing this to go with the mini-review of the game I just posted in the other thread: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/148103495

That's my entire experience of the game besides the godawful tutorial that I almost failed to finish. Worst tutorial ever in the history of tutorials. Wouldn't let me access settings to invert mouselook, which combined with the bad key bindings, bad movement and bad mechanics almost made me give up on the game in the middle of the goddamn tutorial. I only persevered because Sergei sounded like he wanted to try some matches.

I still can't believe I gave it one star, but I just don't see how I could give it more. It's fucking horrible!

My 1/5 review published December 1: https://www.patreon.com/posts/15637394

Epic confirms that it's shutting down free-to-play MOBA Paragon this April

Good riddance.

Next they should shut down Fortnite, and after that Epic.
