What players say
68% of 56,378 reviews are positive · 73% of 706 in the last 30 days
Players praise the dual-realm exploration, art direction, build variety, and online co-op with the free friend pass; many also say post-launch updates substantially improved the game. Common complaints cite floaty or weak-feeling combat, confusing layouts, bugs, and co-op desync. Recent players report poor handheld PC performance and launch failures tied to Easy Anti-Cheat.
