Absolute must play if you like the genre.
1st - the whole moaning about item shop and p2w is total BS. You cannot buy key items, and boosters etc are mostly pointless. It's for kids with FOMO/ADHD and moms credit cards on table who complain. You can make everything in game and get to end game without paying a dime (apart cosmetics).
Just enjoy the game, it's free, you don't have to have everything. I'd recommend buying season pass, which is dirt cheap. Overrall monetisation is less agresive than in Warframe.

2. There is a system showing you where to get somenthing, which mission to do, how to process item, directly from craft menu you can go to map point and jump into action to farm what you need. Extra useful stuff.
Crafting takes time and effort, and some planning, but within a week of game you'll easily have several character opened, unique weapons, resources for upgrading them. RNG is strong in rewards, But low-mid level stuff falls easily. The high end will require more time - that how reward work, and that how it should be instead of everyone having "1st descendatn UL7Im4TE Build" running clones.

3. Gameplay loop is great: there are multiple systems that complement each other: you do A to be able to access B to drop C and open D etc. This throws you around map, and typ of missions so you don't have to do constantly the same stuff. Also, because of different modificators no map, this encourage player to change characters, for most appropriate to given content.

4. Level grind is also easy, Maxing character level is a matter of 1 hour at later stage, without boosters or anything. After the first start, its a snowball effect.

5. there are daily, weekly, season challenges with reward system, and multiple rewards system in place that give you some trinkets. Also separate season progress.

Its a strong 8.5/10 game easily. Yes its a copy of Warframe and D2 with a Korean MMO twist - and that is good, as those games are best in the market. Design is flawless, NO WOKE BS in place! It's just a game not a political message of blue haired fat narcissistic idiots.

PS> Graphics and audio are great, but it's 2024 and UE5, so you need something mid range (3080/4070/6900/7800 and decent CPU) to enjoy 1440pHigh/ultra & 60+ fps.
