The launch of The First Descendant has been anything but smooth, leading to the game being review bombed by players.
The First Descendant is now available on PC, and here are the best PC settings for optimized performance on mid-end system specs.
The First Descendant is out on Steam and consoles. It is the next-generation MMO featuring the Unreal Engine 5 and its advanced lighting and geometric upgrades. Of course, there’s ray tracing for the higher-end PCs, but it’s complemented by frame generation (DLSS + FSR) to offset the performance drop.
One of the worst games I have played in awhile. Makes Starfield look like Skyrim. Terrible!
I’m enjoying it for what it is. A competent, albeit a bit generic, shooter with heavy looter elements. Easy to drop-in and out. It’s great to relieve some stress.
The First Descendant community supports a petition that would make the existing customization more fair. Do you agree with them?

Honestly, the game just looks bang average anyway. Predatory monetization is more than enough to keep me well clear.
I've played one of the tests and dear lord was it repetitive.
I have a hours in to the game and while the gameplay loop is fine and fun at times, it's the goddamn greedy monetization of the game that kills it. Sure I can grind but who the hell wants to grind hundreds of hours and rely on RNG just to get one character? Also, I read a rumor that purchasable cosmetics don't unlock on all characters. It only unlocks on the character you choose. So if you want the same cosmetic that's available to other characters, you have to buy it separately for them too. That's bullshit. And cosmetics are expensive. Again, yes, it's just cosmetics but forcing people to pay extra to unlock the same thing for other characters is scummy as all hell.
The game is pretty damn mid. Feels very generic. Gave it a couple hours; really tried to get into it, but uninstalled it shortly after.
