What players say

69% of 222,321 reviews are positive · 38% of 116 in the last 30 days

Players consistently praise the action combat, class variety, boss raids, visuals, and story campaign. The most common complaints target endgame progression, which players describe as grind-heavy, randomized, time-gated, and tilted toward spending. Newcomers also report too many poorly explained systems and difficulty joining higher-level raid groups.
