+ Only 1 Developer: Ede Tarsoly  Can you believe it?
+ Visually the game looks absolutely stunning for an RTS. Tons of detail. The grass, and trees sway in the wind. Bright vivid neon styled colors for many of the projectiles and units that all add to this futuristic Sci-Fi appeal. Great explosions and particle effects.
+ The gameplay is a load of fun especially if you enjoy other RTS games. I'd consider it a mix between Starcraft 2 and Command and Conquer. I had no problem hopping straight into this game, everything felt natural. 
+ A research / tech tree that follows you throughout the game. This encourages you to explore the maps to discover research cannisters which will allow you to unlock new units, upgrades, turrets, production perks, and so fourth.
+ Ground, Air, and Navel Units.  They all seem well balanced, and it honestly looks fantastic to have a large group go to battle with another large group. 
+ A pretty decent story. You are about 1000 years into the future, and Earth is overpoulated. A colony ship was sent out to find a new planet to inhabit Meridian. Their communications were cut off. Earth sends Squad 22 to go investigate.
+ Epic soundtrack
+ Conquest Mode, which is basically skirmish battles against AI at differing difficulty levels 1v1 while taking over plots to take over the world.

[b]This game is in Early Access so don't take these too seriously[/b]
- In campaign, if one of your "main characters" dies you lose the mission and have to restart. This is incredibly annoying as they tend to look similar to regular infantry with slightly more health. The enemy AI tends to focus fire on one unit at the time, so if they focus on one of your heroes you may suddenly lose the mission. :(
- The UI is a bit too small, especially when trying to read dialogue. I think it should be enlarged or perhaps add an option to.
- Campaign is unfinished, but that is to be expected.

~ Single-Player Only. Some people may be turned off by this as RTS games are known for their multiplayer. Personally I think focusing on the story and missions is a great thing  as many RTS games of late have had pretty boring campaigns. The missions in Meridian: Squad 22 feel meaningful and challenging.
