What players say
90% of 75,448 reviews are positive · 84% of 454 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise the class storylines, voice acting, meaningful choices, and ability to play much of the game alone. Recent complaints focus on account access and limited support, restrictive free-to-play systems, heavy monetization, and newer content that some players consider sparse or weaker than the original stories.
