Why?
Trailer didn't seem that great,
"Mostly Negative"
They must have been in a rush to make this game.

and again the community destroyes a game that is not even finish.
all these negative reviews from fanboys of other br-games is just stupid.
this game has only 5months in development and for this it looks not bad. give it some time, support the devs by posting bugs and ideas to make things better and who knows, maybe it will become a great game.
but this will not happen. people (mostly fanboys/kids) jumping on a hatetrain and downvote this and in 2 weeks nobody will remember this.

5 months is not a lot of time. Maybe they should wait a little longer to make and promote a better product instead of jumping as quickly as possible on the cash-grab train?

If I understand this right, they try to save their studio with this. At least I would not spend any money for it (nor would I play it...)

That... is what happens if you use Early Access?
EA shouldn't be an excuse to just dump massively unfinished games, as it's being used now.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's absolutely what Early Access means.
That's the whole point of Early Access.
You don't have to play or buy it. But don't complain about an unfinished game, when you start an early access game that gives all the infos in the storepage:
"Radical Heights is a work in progress; we are launching in a state that we have branded 'X-Treme” Early Access. The core gameplay experience is complete. However, players should expect to experience placeholder assets in the world including; models, audio, animation, and even entire buildings. We are actively working on improving performance and bringing the level of polish up across the entire experience.”
It's like a review for a bike where you complain that it can't fly.

It SHOULD be for almost done games to sharpen the edges.
NOT Alpha's.
Alas how it should be and what it's used for are 2 different things. But if devs really want to put out massively unfinished games, don't be surprised if the reviews mirror such. Not our fault.

Where does it say how early access should be?
On wiki (yeahyeah, source) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_access it says "Early access, also known as early funding, alpha-access, or paid-alpha, is a funding model in the video game industry by which consumers can pay for a game in the various development cycles (pre-alpha, alpha, beta) and obtain access to the pre-full release versions of the game, while the developer is able to use those funds to continue work on the game."
Early Access is not a demo or an beta-testing. Look at Rust that redefined itself in early access.

It should also not be a cash-grab that "devs" leave in development hell as soon as they got your money. Or give a free pass of an asset-flip with 1 level under "unfinished"
Yet that's what EA is known for. It pretty much is a "drop your trash" label. And people should under no circumstances give something a pass just for being under that banner.
If you get told you'll get a plane, and you get a bike instead with "It'll turn into a plane later" you got all the right to complain.
(Not to mention getting flak for abandoning their other game to work on this is legit too. If they can't support a finished product, what faith should we put they'll finish an unfinished product? Exactly; none)

I get your point but how will you know, that this game will stay unfinished?
You can't! If you read about Lawbreakers you would also see, that you should blame Nexon America for abonding Lawbreakers and not Boss Key Productions.
I said this in another comment: I'm not a big fan of this game and I'll def. not put any money in it. I will prob. not even download and try it. But the gaming community already hunts a game down the road that not even had a chance to show what it could become to. When I see right, they had a first update just 15h after release... So why not give them a chance?
Maybe it will be good. And if not, who cares? There are porb. bigger problems on Steam than this one game. (Talking to you: achivementspam-games)

Well, it's Neutral now but I assume people are just tired of devs abandoning games to shell out a next one, EA being abused as always and being a thing most of us stay far away from.
There are plenty of people now upvoting it on the "merits". I personally don't agree with that either. Base a game on how it IS, not how it can become in the future. Since you'll never know if it even shapes that way. And then you'll end up with a ton of positive votes on an abandoned game (cough Spacebase DF-9).
And for these cases Steam DID invent the "recent reviews" versus "all reviews" indicator.
Maybe, just maybe, EA was a massive mistake...
(Oh and yes achievspam games can die in a fire. And there's still sooooo many assetflips and outright scams that are still available :( )

when you're ideas are crap, rip off more successful ideas with a twist..
Comment has been collapsed.
Except there's no twist here... I suppose the fact that the zone shrinks square by square, instead of a circle, is something new. That's about it though. Everything else is just like the games that came before it.

it seems like it has better gunplay than PUBG, which is a plus.
I always thought that game was weirdly stiff, people love it though
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know about "better" gunplay, it's very basic. Guns have varying degrees of vertical recoil and damage, that's about that it seems. PUBG is stiff, no doubt about that but the weapons all have very distinct handling characteristics. Things like vertical/horizontal recoil, bullet speed, bullet drop, bullet damage over distance, weapon sway, etc.
Radical Heights is even more basic than Fortnite in this regard... which I guess can be both a good and bad thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
Boss Key as a studio just reeks of desperation every title they make. LawBreakers was an attempt to capitalize on hero shooters because Overwatch was popular, forgettable and dead on arrival. Now Radical Heights is being made because Fortnite is popular. They are just desperate. Pathetic is another word I would use as well lol
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess they where pretty much done by the end of Lawbreakers, i would hope that if the company was in a better position they, would have taken the secure route, by developing a finished product for the PS4, where there is space, due to the lack of PUBG
