The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious, especially in the late game where progression slows dramatically.

- “Quests are not too grindy.”
- “Not grinding solo like a loner in BDO, lmao.”
- “Progression is slow and tedious, pushing towards microtransactions.”
- “The grinding after level 30 is pretty outrageous.”

Players have expressed frustration with the game's performance issues, which detract from the overall experience, despite its potential and engaging gameplay elements.

The monetization model of Bless Unleashed has been widely criticized as aggressive and predatory, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" that heavily leans on microtransactions to enhance gameplay. While some users acknowledge that free-to-play players can progress without spending money, the overall sentiment suggests that the game is designed to encourage spending, often leading to a pay-to-win experience. The presence of bots and advertisements in chat further detracts from the gaming experience, reinforcing the perception of a monetization strategy that prioritizes profit over player satisfaction.
- “Yes, the in-game purchases are very tempting, but they're not necessary to enjoy this game.”
- “If you think about it, the monetization model of Bless Unleashed is very fair, as purely free-to-play players can acquire everything you can buy with real money on the market with in-game money.”
- “Monetization is done well, without it feeling predatory: you have access to lots of cosmetics, good mounts, and stuff that's sadly often hidden behind a paywall in other games.”
- “Progression is slow and tedious, pushing towards microtransactions.”
- “A lot of potential wasted, crappy monetization like a mobile game.”
- “This game is a clear cash grab.”

The game's stability is widely criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and crashes that significantly hinder gameplay. While some players note that it runs smoothly on certain systems, many others experience frequent freezes and issues stemming from its transition from console to PC. Overall, the game is perceived as a buggy mess, with many players expressing frustration over its unplayability and lack of polish.
- “The game has amazing graphics and is not too buggy.”
- “Game runs great on an i7 and 1070, pinned at 60fps even in combat once I lowered one setting to medium - the lighting one with a weird name I can't remember at the moment.”
- “The game runs great on my ancient i5 and used eBay GTX 1060.”
- “The game is not that open world; to advance and open new areas, you have to follow a quest line. They patched the game, and now I cannot even log in; it freezes at one of five screens just to get in the game, and if by miracle you do load in, take five steps and it freezes for five minutes, then eventually crashes to desktop with no error messages.”
- “The game is buggy to no end. The UI is atrocious; I don't know where to begin. The story is so badly written, I was thinking a four-year-old had just button-mashed. The constant facing in and out makes you lose track of your friends if you decide to play together. The combat is a hot mess with unexplained mouse-button-mashing, and the actual attacks are hidden down in the corner of the screen, which makes it really hard to keep track of cooldowns or what abilities you even have.”
- “Every time I go to play the game, I will crash at least three times after the game freezes up.”

- “The music is uninspired, the sound effects are terrible, and the voices are just bad.”
- “This is the kind of game where you'll want to find a 1-10 hour track of your favorite song on YouTube, and play that on repeat throughout the boring grind, because this game's soundtrack is an absolute snoozer-- nothing like Mabinogi, or especially Final Fantasy XIV.”
- “Some cut scenes play music that doesn't even fit the scene, like loud EDM music during a conversation about assassinating a character.”

Players find joy in the game's self-aware humor, making it an entertaining choice despite its flaws.
- “I went into this game expecting a dying, desolate pay-to-win Korean cash grab, but ended up finding exciting boss fights, a decent story, an active community, humorous quest responses, interesting combat (love the quick time events), and unique features that you unlock up until quite late in the story.”
- “The game doesn't take itself too seriously, which leads to some hilarious moments like the Carzacor guard telling you to not pay attention because they all look the same, as it will break immersion.”
- “Some quests are just hilarious, like the one involving Bambi (yes... Bambi), the three musketeers, or the guy that is always hiding from monsters.”
- “It's not funny or cute; it just looks like they can't stop staring at the sky while they flop around in the direction you want to go.”
- “The attempts at humor feel forced and often fall flat, leaving me more confused than amused.”

Additionally, some users express frustration with the game's lack of traditional RPG elements, such as crafting and a functional economy, which detracts from the character development experience.
- “The combat is engaging, character development is at a decent rate, dungeons are fun as are the arena encounters. Overall, there's a good amount of things to do and it doesn't feel like a mobile game.”
- “I really enjoy the graphic and character design of this game; in fact, that's the reason why I stay with it despite the slow start.”
- “For these clowns, an MMORPG is just running around bashing something, mashing a console controller - no economy, no functional guilds, no other activities (fishing is a bad joke), no crafting, no character development... incredible.”
- “As for the character development, there is a lot to track and many options to keep things varied, but it does take a good bit of time to understand what's going on.”

- “Some are heart-wrenching, some are uplifting, some very dark and borderline disturbing.”

- “This means that for every character you choose to make, you'll have to repeat that boring story mode over and over and do the same side quests.”
- “Boring storyline with your typical chosen one narrative.”
- “Boring story full of quests.”

Players note that while the game offers solid graphics and a decent story, its replayability is somewhat limited due to a lack of playable classes and races. However, the scaling endgame content provides some incentive for players to return, and there is optimism for future improvements that could enhance the overall experience.

- “Replayability: you might find yourself playing it for some time.”
- “It still has room for improvement, but compared to the previous 'Bless Online', this version seems way more playable and active.”
- “The story isn't terrible, and since some of the endgame content scales, it makes for some replayability.”
- “There could be a couple more classes (necromancer, druid, monk, hunter, shadow knight, cleric) or a couple more playable races (dark elf, frog). I don't really think this is a big deal, but whatever.”
- “So thumbs up for a ton of potential, and I will be back a year from now when the game is fixed and ready to be played in a more playable state!”
