What players say

77% of 39,672 reviews are positive · 64% of 65 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the fast, fluid action combat and the amount of questing and other content. Their main complaints are repetitive, time-gated endgame progression, convoluted currencies and systems, and monetization that they say pressures players to pay to speed up the grind.
