That was my reaction too.
Thank goodness for boredom.
And here we are, a month and a bit later.

The biggest change by far is the third-person perspective.
This was my biggest misgiving with VX at first.
Generally third-person is not a great fit for highly tactical, low time-to-kill shooters.

Veiled Experts neatly solves this problem in two ways.
The first is a very strong focus on awareness of enemy positions.
The second method is by introducing a shrinking “ring” like in Battle Royales to each round.

Characters' abilities are useful but not overbearingly powerful.
Matches in general are quick, with far fewer rounds than in CS or Valorant.
Every misgiving I had before I started playing was quickly debunked after my first few hours with the game.

Movement in general feels very good - not slick and quick, likeApex Legends, but deliberate and reliable.
Just like the rest of the game.
just just give Veiled Experts a try if you like shooters.
It’s free to play, and out onSteamon Thursday (or Friday morning for us Brits).
