Overall, I’d say this game is 100% worth your time.

The Good:

Rich Lore and Story: If you take your time and avoid rushing through like a typical MMO, you’ll uncover a lot of background story and lore. While the characters might not stick with you, the game does a great job of teaching you about its world, its history, and why things are the way they are. This storytelling aspect is great, and it takes about 40-50 hours to get through the Main Story Quest (MSQ) and Codex Adventure content. For a free game, that’s more than enough to justify a positive review.

Performance: It holds up surprisingly well. Yes, you might experience some slowdowns and frame drops when there are hundreds of players on-screen, but given the scale, the performance is pretty solid. If your FPS is struggling, there are plenty of options to tweak and get it running the way you want.

Collectibles: I didn’t expect to get so many morphs and amitois without having to pay for them. Most of these unlock just through questing, which is a nice surprise. Sure, there are some available in the shop, but you get a ton just by playing, which is really cool.

The Bad:

Default Settings: The default settings are rough. Make sure to go into the options and tweak things if something feels off because it likely can be fixed. For example, the default targeting and hotkeys are pretty bad—it feels like whoever set them up doesn’t play video games.

Not the Best MMORPG Experience: As an MMORPG, the game falls short. There aren’t enough dungeons, and you’ll end up repeating content a lot. It’s not terrible for a recently released game, but it’s a little below average for an MMO.

Gear Upgrading: The gear upgrade system is terrible. They make a big deal early on about crafting your own gear, but later on, they basically remove the ability to easily do that. So, you’ll be grinding dungeons for random gear drops with random traits, and it just feels like a way to slow players down so we don’t finish the game too quickly.

Final Thoughts:
These are the main points I think are worth mentioning. Overall, I do believe it’s worth your time, but it may not be for everyone.
