    The First Descendant offers engaging sci-fi action with stunning visuals and fast-paced gameplay, but it comes with some caveats. While the combat and world-building are strong, the experience is somewhat marred by repetitive missions and a lack of innovation. It’s a solid entry for fans of the genre, but it may leave those seeking something truly groundbreaking feeling slightly underwhelmed.

    The First Descendant offers a fresh take on the genre, combining elements of successful projects from the past with its own innovations, and could become a worthy competitor to any of its current analogs. Did I like the game - yes, but the game takes time, but given the good start, the developers have every chance of taking their place among the giants.

    While the game functions well enough thanks to its proven system and solid foundation, it still shows some shortcomings in various aspects. These can be understandable considering it is still in pre-season, but the game needs to demonstrate something significant in the next update to prove its long-term service potential.

    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.
