The First Descendant, the latest MMO from Korean developers Nexon, offers stunning visuals, engaging combat, and a decent semi-open world.


Visuals: The game boasts impressive graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, making every environment and character highly detailed and immersive.

Combat: Fluid and dynamic combat mechanics, with a variety of weapons and abilities that keep encounters fresh and thrilling.


Monetization: Some players may find the game's micro transaction system intrusive, with certain items and cosmetics locked behind paywalls. Personally, this monetization system is no more intrusive than Warframe's monetization.

Grind: As with many MMOs, progression can feel grindy at times, especially when farming for rare loot.

Server Stability: Initial launch has seen some server instability and connectivity issues, which can hinder the overall experience.

Overall, The First Descendant shows great promise with its beautiful world and engaging gameplay. If Nexon addresses the initial hiccups and balances the monetization, it could become a standout title in the MMO genre.

Ill be updating this review as my play time progresses, thank you for the read!

(EDIT) - increased drop rates, No more balls, Hardmode matchmaking, no nerfs coming in the future for gley or the tamer? Who TF are these devs because im not use to this kind of luxury in an mmo.
also no down time between updates? looking at you destiny.
Oh, and they added the materials that you needed to farm Vaults for in basic missions and made vaults 3x more loot.

This is staying awhile!
