The First Descendant only has fan-service going for it, because it's a typical UE5 game, meaning, plenty of micro-stutters and caching issues and hiccups in the gameplay when you don't need it most. The gunplay is unbearably generic and the story would have been better told as a single-player game.

The highlights is that the men are either impossibly handsome or rugged, and the women are all drop-dead gorgeous to appeal to one kind of male gamer or another. But that's about all it has. The platforming segments are horribly janky (due once again to the micro-stutter and latency, and the fact that the grappling isn't very reliable), and the boss fights are okay but usually just a bullet-sponging slog with some ridiculous AOE attacks.

But as yoisi said, if people don't like it, don't play it. It's the polar opposite of the woke games insofar that the gameplay isn't much of the selling point as the characters are. So they took the early approach that Blizzard did with Overwatch and banked on it.

I doubt The First Descendant will stick around on the market for long unless they do some kind of gameplay overhaul within the next year, because right now Warframe is identical in terms of gameplay loops, but it's the superior game in every single regard when it comes to actual gameplay mechanics, melee combat, traversal, and gunplay.
