  • monetization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization in this revamped edition of the game is widely criticized as a cash grab, with players expressing frustration over in-game purchases that often lead to financial loss due to bugs and a lack of support from the game's developers.

  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its poorly designed questing system, which fails to provide clear guidance on objectives and item collection. Additionally, the unprofessionalism of the development team is highlighted through user interactions in the Discord chat, suggesting a lack of support and coherence in storytelling. Overall, the narrative experience is seen as lacking depth and clarity.

    • “I understand that the game is a re-release and I wanted to check it out. To be honest, I don't think the graphics are bad; it's just that questing seems very poorly designed. The 'system' quests meant to teach you about the game don't explain where or what items you need to find, collect, or loot for said quests. In fact, the first few quests meant to teach don't help either.”
    • “The discord chat alone tells the story about how unprofessional the development team is.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The inclusion of a combine system and personal shops adds depth to the grinding process, allowing for more strategic gameplay and customization. Overall, grinding is seen as a core element that enhances player engagement and progression.

    • “The constant gear looting and skill tree progression make the experience feel repetitive and uninspired.”
    • “The grind for levels and items takes away from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
