The First Descendant has proven to be a bit more popular than some might have initially expected. Though it was panned for its generic looter-shooter art style, story, and gameplay ahead of its full release, its strong shooting mechanics and high-fidelity graphics helped it kick-start its live-service journey. Having said that, The First Descendant isn't without its issues, and among the most prominent, predictably, is its implementation of in-game purchases.
