    I will start with the good things about this game, but there are some bads too, that keep it from being masterpiece.

    + The battle system is totally adictive. Perfectly crafted Platinium game. Different weapon setup totally change the playstyle. Even same weapon with different enchantments may change the day. The Attacks of all enemies are clean and visible. The bosses have great mechanics, on the level of MMO games. So 10 out of 10 on this part.

    + World is another thing that holds pretty well. There are some enviorment hazzards to keep it fresh, personal favorite was to fight sliding on ice. Pure 10 out of 10 here too.

    + Story itself is kind of mediocre, but game like this really don't need anything more. I just don't feel like this game needs to have anything complex in there, just something to keep the action going, and they deliver on it pretty fine.

    And here we go with the issues.
    - Presentation of microtansactions. First season pass is free for all, most games with this model are not giving it free, so I would call that plus, they promissed next season passes to be around 10$ and that sounds positive too (compared to the price of most saeson passes). But how badly this is presented to the player, full cinematic, dialog, every time when you log in pop up windows about it, it is just painful. There are NO GAMPLAY MICROTRANSACTIONS. But players feel like they are super important, from the tutorial they show you about the cosmetics you can buy with RMT, after that if you want to buy stuff with ingame currency, the show will open on RMT page first every time. It is just painfully annoying.
    - Visually the game is just bad, and no, if you turn off the painting effect it is not that bad. However during most of the cinematics and while you are in town, there is this painting effect that is just not crafted well enough and makes everything looks bad. Hairs are super outdated, can make even From Software proud of their work. But I would not call this total lost, because the game fly with no frame drops or any other performance issues, while you are beating the **** out of enemies, that is kind of important.

    - No scale depending on party members. The game is made to be multiplayer, I get it. And most of the missions I can fight solo if I can't find people, that is cool. Once you learn how to DPS properly, enemies die fast, so that is all fine. UNTIL BOSS, some of the bosses in this game just need a bit of punch in their HP bar if you play solo. It is just that Babylon is going out around so many great games, even square enix have great games this part of the year, it just can't hold too many players at launch, and leaving it in a state where it is expected from you to find party all the times is a bad choice.    … Expand

    I can’t imagine why anyone would want to pay so much for such an awful experience. There’s a potentially enjoyable action game trapped inside Babylon’s Fall but it’s buried deep under layers of bugs, bad design, chaos and overall misery.

    BABYLON’S FALL has plenty of quality game design in it, with a good length main campaign and even side content on launch, with more already added, and even more coming for free. Whether the price is worth it is up to you; play the demo and decide for yourself.

    While Babylon's Fall had several good ideas and had a lot of potential, it shot itself in the foot with its intrusive live service model and its painfully obvious lack of polish, making it that much harder to recommend to anyone, especially at the ludicrous price of $60.
