    At first glance, a solid, if not very creative loot shooter, where massive weaknesses in the mission design quickly become apparent. Added to that is a boring story, excessive in-game prices and hardly any motivation to stay on board in the long term.

    The First Descendant has moments of fun, but its action is constantly debilitated by tiresome mission design and a grind entirely informed by its venomous monetization. It's designed to frustrate and steer players toward an extensive storefront that lets you circumvent some of its monotony, only to be met with even more. There are no redeeming features to its intentionally infuriating free-to-play model; it feels like a game designed in a boardroom, where every single aspect of its design is secondary to the pursuit of making more money. It's a sad state of affairs, and I wouldn't recommend The First Descendant to anyone.

    The First Descendant is a fine addition to the shooter-looter family as it features the enemy variety and RPG depth many of its casual so-called competitors lack of. There's no doubt many will it their new home, although its pricey store and boring guns make it a lesser version of Warframe in our eyes.
