    339 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of "Life is Feudal: MMO" is a major point of contention among players, with many describing it as excessively tedious and time-consuming. While some players appreciate the depth and challenge that grinding provides, others find it frustratingly slow and unrewarding, particularly for solo players. The game often requires significant investment in time and effort to progress, leading to a divide between those who enjoy the grind and those who feel it detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Fun game, a bit grindy... would be nice if you could develop a plow into a sort of dozer...”
    • “That said, there is a really good community, the gameplay is fun and not too grindy (less grindy than Runescape for sure).”
    • “Not very grindy, but it's pretty grindy.”
    • “Normal players have to spend a lot of time grinding money/materials while others used exploits to get tons of money, tons of equipment.

    • “The game is extraordinarily grindy, necessitating the use of pay-to-win enhancements and 'purchasing' additional characters.”
    • “This is the most boring and grindy game I have ever had the misfortune to waste my time and money on.”
  • gameplay
    335 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While the crafting and community aspects are praised, the game suffers from clunky controls, numerous bugs, and a steep learning curve that can deter new players.

    • “The realistic gameplay and the ability to build together are impressive and deserve credit.”
    • “The crafting in the game is wonderfully rewarding with the different quality levels and how it all plays into the mechanics of the game.”
    • “Did actual new features, game and server issues plus bug abuse/exploit abuse support setup, then actually putting true quality of life fixes and bug fixes into this technological dumpster that impacts core gameplay and more cross anyone else's mind other than the one guy in the meeting that likely got yeeted out of a window because he suggested let's make it actually playable first?”
    • “Gameplay-wise, I was also just kind of disappointed with how easy survival was.”
    • “The mechanics of the game and the huge learning curve of trying to accomplish anything as simple as digging or grabbing a rock are a waste of time.”
  • stability
    169 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with players reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and server issues that significantly hinder gameplay. Many users express frustration over unresponsive maps, game-breaking glitches, and a lack of effective support from developers, leading to an overall perception of the game as a "buggy mess."

    • “A fantastic game that runs great; I have played the game for 103 hours in the last 2 weeks.”

    • “The map bugs out/freezes and stops responding entirely, so if you are new and out and about and trying to navigate back to your claim, good luck.”
    • “From server instability to frequent crashes and game-breaking glitches, players often find themselves frustrated by the lack of reliability in the game's performance.”
    • “The game is a buggy mess even well after the release of 0.20 - the map is bugged and sometimes shows you a very old version of the map and/or that you are in the ocean while firmly on land.”
  • graphics
    139 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the beautiful landscapes and decent visuals, while others criticize them as clunky, outdated, and poorly optimized.

    • “This game is graphically beautiful, and the ability to change landscapes and the map persistently can be a blast and lead to some interesting results.”
    • “The game is so damn buggy, graphics are stuck in somewhere 1999 and the map, please, the map is so bugged that I can't even find words to describe it.”
    • “The graphics are crap as you can't play even on medium due to bad optimization.”
    • “Glitchy beyond belief, horrible graphics, poorly optimized, and little to no effort by the developers went into this game.”

    105 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players reporting numerous bugs and technical issues that hinder quest progression.

Overall, the game offers a foundation for storytelling but fails to deliver a compelling narrative experience.

    • “The initial tutorial quests got my hopes up, but it was just disappointment after that.”
    • “The quests were so vague and confusing that I had to uninstall it.”
  • monetization
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with players expressing frustration over excessive microtransactions and a monthly subscription fee on top of the initial purchase. Many reviews highlight the intrusive nature of in-game advertisements and the high costs of cosmetic items, leading to a perception that the developers prioritize profit over player experience. Overall, the monetization practices have significantly detracted from the game's appeal, contributing to a negative reception among both new and returning players.

    • “I feel like the microtransactions were a good way to go with the old one to speed up leveling for busy people with work who still want a strong character and try different skills.”
    • “The microtransactions are almost all cosmetic; the scale and scope of the game is huge and amazing, interactions are forced, and it's not just a PvP world where everyone kills everyone.”
    • “Even though there are microtransactions, you don't need to buy anything to progress.”
    • “I already paid for the game once way back in the day, now this new company wants me to pay a monthly subscription fee and be subjected to excessive microtransactions.”
    • “The monetization strategy employed by the developers also comes under scrutiny.”
    • “The game had all the potential in the world and they sold out to cash grab nonsense because they can't manage their own finances.”

    65 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting severe performance issues such as frequent crashes, framerate drops, and server instability.

    • “Well, the devs are doing a good job fixing bugs, optimizing the performance, and so forth.”
    • “Still better optimization than PUBG.”
    • “The game is terribly optimized; unexplained framerate drops, game hitching, and rubberbanding are pretty much staples even after nearly a decade of development.”
    • “When I was finally able to get through character creation, I was plagued by rubber-banding, half-baked tutorial quests, buggy mechanics, texture and lighting glitches, choppy entity movement (hunting was quite impossible), and poor optimization with a max framerate of 15 fps on absolute potato settings.”
    • “The game is poorly optimized, with constant performance issues, bugs, and glitches that make it nearly unplayable.”

    The game's atmosphere is a mixed bag, with many players praising its rich, immersive medieval setting and detailed world design that enhances the experience.

    • “As it was said multiple times, the overall atmosphere of the game, colors, graphics, and spirit really allows you to get into your character and live his life, even virtually.”
  • humor
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, while some moments may elicit laughter, the humor often stems from the game's shortcomings and the community's reactions to them.

    • “This game is funny, and I mean joke funny. What is this, like the 4th incarnation of this game?”
    • “I lost 500k tradeskill built-up experience and 180k of combat experience... okay, that's fine I guess. Not sure why it's not part of my experience; what a pain! It would have been better for me to log off and not waste that experience... bit of a funny game mechanic.”
    • “Very funny.”
    • “The game's attempts at humor often fall flat, making the experience more awkward than amusing.”

    • “Just filling noises, no music.”
    • “The music of 'Greensleeves' on loop made me turn it off very quickly.”
    • “Music you mute within 20 minutes of playing, then you're left with dull sounds. It's really lacking in sound design.”

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players express a deep connection to their progress, with moments of triumph evoking intense feelings of happiness and relief.

    • “Once you learn how some of the deeper mechanics work, you'll understand why one character can't go it alone in Life is Feudal MMO. Once you figure out what you can do to make it easier, then wow... you see that glorious skill level 30 or 60 that you've been working on, you nearly want to cry with joy, or that last part of a wall that you've been solo building, you finally feel safe.”
