Who I would tell to buy it
Buy it if you want a 1–4 player arena game where the joke and the weapon are the same chain, and you are fine paying $19.99 or the Steam launch price of $12.99. Game Pass removes the cash question if you already subscribe.
Wait if you need a critic consensus, a finished tier list, or a promise that crossplay covers every console pair. Those are not published. The roadmap’s PvP mode is a 2027 plan, not a mode you can review today.
