Although there is no doubt that the game has become an instant hit, it has also been facing great controversies over the past few days. It currently has mixed reviews on Steam, as fans didn’t like the developer’s aggressive monetization approach.

Similarly, critical reception has been mixed across the board, with some feeling The First Descendant does not do enough to stand out in a competitive market. Recently, the developers were also accused of copying assets from Destiny 2.

The team has already taken notice of these accusations and confirmed that it will be changing specific icons to address the problem.

This year has already had major hits like Palworld and Helldivers 2. The First Descendant has now joined the list, marking yet another exciting addition to the free-to-play market.

However, the team must ensure a steady stream of content and updates to keep up the momentum and thrive in this highly competitive market.

Overall, the game has been doing great so far. It is currently one of the most played titles on Steam, averaging around 150K players every day in just the first week.
