Destiny 2 and Overwatch provide the inspiration for yet another free-to-play live service game that wants to take over your life, but should you let it?
The First Descendant – taste the blandness In theory, new IP is exactly what the video games industry needs. When almost every new game, particularly bigger budget titles, is a sequel or licensed product, new blood is vital. And yet with each new generation, as development costs soar, the risks associated with creating something new becomes ever greater. But just as a sequel doesn’t necessarily mean a lack of new ideas, new IP doesn’t guarantee anything original.
Where The First Descendant starts to get into real problems is that Destiny 2 didn’t start out as a free-to-play game and Nexon’s attempts to lean into those traditions are clumsy and unwelcome, with a tediously large number of resources to collect and various limitations to circumvent when trying to craft any halfway useful equipment.
