Ingress

This game is amazing at mixing ar and real life in an online war. I just want to point out just two things to make the game better. 1. Clearer tutorial The first thing is that I don’t think the tutorial might have been clear enough, because even after the tutorial, I didn’t know how to use the weapons or what the power cubes were. I don’t know, though, maybe you did. Maybe it just has something to do with me being part of the resistance. But still, even so, you should be a bit clearer. 2. Easier time leveling up The second thing is that this might go only for me, but it’s really difficult trying to level up. Now, when I say “easier time leveling up”, I don’t mean it being a cakewalk, because those games usually get boring after a few weeks. I mean that instead of taking you, for example, a week to level up, it just takes four days. All in all, this is a great game, and I hope you improve a lot :) EDIT: Also I think another benefit might be to add the app on watches, so you can check on portals and km will count even if you don’t have your phone or iPad with you😉

I’ve played Ingress for five years now. It’s a pretty good game. I enjoyed it and will likely continue to play it for years to come. Gripes: I miss the historical anomaly battles. I’ve played in 6 different city battles and met tons of awesome people. The newer events are pretty lackluster. Hopefully, they will construct new events to get people enjoying the game again. I liked the old scanner much better than the current one. The controls still don’t feel right and doing regular and repeated things should be easier with less input required. Population of resonators takes way too long, imo. Also, starting up the game before being able to actually play is very slow (iPhone 13 Pro, currently). To this day, it is still impossible to adequately remote recharge an owned portal being attacked by an opponent and be able to hold the portal. The refresh rate for the health status of the portal just simply doesn’t register fast enough. Lastly, spoofers are still a problem and it’s likely that there will never be any actions taken against them. There is absolutely no way to prove someone is spoofing to Niantic. Videos with timestamps of the area are ignored and logs are not checked. There is probably a monetary reason for the lack of cares given. Likes: The game opens up the world around me. Everywhere I go, it’s possible to find interesting or historical places of interest, trails, and user-created missions due to the portal network. Most of the community I’ve me are fun/good to drink tasty beverage with, etc. Luckily, I’ve had multiple people from the game provide me flights, room/board, and getting to experience new places (all because of scheduled Ingress events). Overall, even with the scanner limitations, the game is still fun to me. If you like making triangles, it’s definitely worth checking out.

For those looking for a great game to play, look towards Ingress Prime. Don’t let the review rating or 1 star reviews fool you. A lot of those reviewers haven’t played in a couple years and complain that they can’t play due to non-compatibility to their phone (maybe a phone upgrade from the iPhone 4 would help) or they cry about glitches and bugs that have been fixed long ago. Anyways this app is all about PvP. There’s two teams fighting for control of “Mind Units” to put on the scoreboard. Before the pandemic there were a lot of events created by both Niantic and the player base. I’ve been playing this game since Ingress Redacted and was a beta tester for Ingress Prime. It has come a long way from the beginning and Prime out does Redacted in every way! Improvements in game play are always being looked at. Again ignore the naysayers and the review rating. If you haven’t played Ingress Prime, then give it a try and give your own review of it.
