65 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of this Magic: The Gathering iteration is a mix of solid mechanics and frustrating elements, with many users appreciating the educational aspects and variety of prebuilt decks, while others criticize the clunky unlocking system and slow pace. Although it offers engaging challenges and strategic depth, technical issues and a lack of recent content detract from the overall experience. Overall, it provides a rewarding gameplay experience for newcomers and veterans alike, but could benefit from smoother performance and improved mechanics.
“The gameplay is fantastic.”
“Amazing game, features the core gameplay that makes Magic so much fun and so exciting.”
“The challenges are fun to do and help you to think about many of the mechanical synergies the game has to offer.”
“The gameplay is annoying and slow.”
“I kept reading how this version was supposed to be better than the rest, but after really playing it for hours in comparison with the 2013 and 2014 versions, I realized that its unlocking gameplay is kind of clunky and frankly exhausting, whereas with 2013 and 2014, all you needed to do to unlock the 'good cards' was simply typing in the promo codes.”
“I know I won't buy another MTG game if they try to spoon-feed you tiny little bits of the game and charge you by the bite for quick unlocks and 'foil' conversions, while gameplay stays mostly the same as last year's iteration... oversimplified and limiting even for those who've never played the game face-to-face before, let alone those of us who've dabbled in Magic most of our lives.”
