As a major new third-person looter shooter, The First Descendant is built on a lot of promises for the future. While the game has plenty to enjoy at launch, it’s following a live-service model of continued development and expansion, and remaining competitive in the long run will heavily depend on where the game goes from here. It’s already received criticism for some of its approach to monetization, so there’s certainly room to improve the average player experience even aside from major gameplay and content additions.
