I'd like to Preface this review with the following...


I've been playing video games since I was 8 or 9 (I am now 28 at the time of this review) and I've played just about every MMORPG or MMO or looter shooter or any variation you can think of, you name it I've played it. I played Playstation AND PC until about 2021 or 2022 now I just play PC.

That being said there is absolutely nothing special or attractive about this game that should make anyone wanna get it. It's just another game.

This game is your typical MMO farming simulator.

You need these materials. The materials drop here, here and here but at a very low drop rate.

You go to that area and farm a single mission 39 times back to back (yes I farmed a mission 39 times back to back) just to get 500/500 needed

You still need a huge list of even more things and these things can be found here he and here but they are also rare.

More time wasted farming materials.

It's just a never ending cycle of farming.

You do all that to unlock 1 thing. Several endless hours or even days for farming for one thing ? Is it worth it or not ? That's personal preference all day long. Me ? Is it worth it right now at the time of this review for this game ? 🤣 ♥♥♥♥ NO.

Only end game content is Bosses and replaying all the main missions on hard. You have things like survival mode (Defend Albion Resources) or other variations of that, it's still survival it's just different objectives and laid out differently but underneath of the different name and objectives it's still survival mode and there is nothing different all these modes exist on all maps only difference is how hard they are


This game has Modules, anyone who's ever played Warfarme will know what these are if you don't im not gonna get into it you can Google it or look on YouTube.



Now the Main Review...

The First Descendant feels like a strange hybrid of Warframe and Destiny 2. The game clearly borrows heavily from these titles especially with its looter shooter mechanics and visual design. While there's nothing wrong with taking inspiration the result here feels more like a poorly assembled puzzle than a seamless blend.

One of the biggest issues with this game is the frequent disconnects. Whether you’re playing on PC or attempting to brave it on the Steam Deck be prepared for a frustrating experience. On the Steam Deck the disconnects are even worse making it nearly unplayable unless you have the patience of a saint.

If you're looking to unlock new Descendants, get ready for a grind that makes Warframe look like a walk in the park. Farming just one Descendant takes forever and the drop rate for main compontents you need are between 1% and 20% (yes I said 1%) and that's not including all the other materials you need as well these are just the main components. If you're aiming for an Ultimate Descendant well good luck because the materials needed for these Descendants are even more rare and take even longer to farm. It feels like the game is designed to push you toward spending real money because when with how low the drop rates are your better Off just outright buying new desendants the farm is just ridiculous and utterly ridiculous and trust me the in game store isn’t cheap either. Cosmetic skins and other items are way overpriced adding to the growing list of frustrations.

As for content the game currently doesn't have any form of PvP or Raids. This absence really limits the endgame experience leaving you with repetitive missions and lackluster boss fights and a toxic community yelling for 1 tap Lepic Nuke and if someone isn't 1 tapping Colossi the entire group leaves. Speaking of boss fights the community struggles with even the simplest mechanics which only adds to the toxic atmosphere. It's like everyone missed the memo on how to play MMO games.

And then there's the battle pass another attempt to squeeze money out of players. It’s almost as if the devs knew the game couldn’t stand on its own, so they added every monetization tactic in the book to try and keep people hooked. This is one of the worst battle passes I've seen in a long time and definitely not worth the money.

This game feels like a mishmash of better games plagued by technical issues an overpriced store, and a toxic community. Play it if you’re curious but don’t expect a smooth ride. If you’re on the Steam Deck, I’d say save yourself the headache.

This game is just your typical run of the mill looter shooter spending outlandish amounts of time farming & farming and endless farming.

Rating ? 5.0

Honestly right now I have to give it a 5.0. There are some aspects about this game that I do like, it does have potential but there are some elements to this game I hate.

Go give it a try if you need a break from your main game or just looking for a game MMO see what you think.

I don't recommend or Recommend the game I'm gonna remain Neutral to see where they take this game but for now I just can't give it over a 5.0 but the game does have potential.
