    BABYLON’S FALL has plenty of quality game design in it, with a good length main campaign and even side content on launch, with more already added, and even more coming for free. Whether the price is worth it is up to you; play the demo and decide for yourself.

    Babylon's Fall has fast, flashy combat and a generally enjoyable structure, but is packed with issues, ranging from it's limited co-op function to live service elements, which appear to have sealed its fate.

    Babylon’s Fall should have fared better than it has. Hidden somewhere behind a myriad of poor choices is some enjoyable hack and slash combat. Going with an online-only, GaaS model and still sticking gamers with a $60 price tag. The strange choice of the watercolor painting art style. Taking nearly 20 before introducing any of the interesting pieces of character customization. Waiting until the player completes more than three-quarters of the story before opening up any of the side quests or resulting rewards. All of these could have easily been avoided.

    An overpriced game with a solid combat system that's buried under a mountain of banality and monetisation.

    I can’t imagine why anyone would want to pay so much for such an awful experience. There’s a potentially enjoyable action game trapped inside Babylon’s Fall but it’s buried deep under layers of bugs, bad design, chaos and overall misery.

    From the technical production to its desired visual direction alike, you needn’t take one step into any of its lackluster dungeons to find something both unpleasant and unappealing to invest in. And once you do, you’ll find a core loop unashamedly insistent on dragging its heels all in the name of a loot grind that itself isn’t all that exciting. To say the dismal failings on its loot aspect — and perhaps, even its live-service ecosystem on top — isn’t even the lowest moment should give you a clearer picture on how badly PlatinumGames and Square Enix together have missed the mark here. It might then end up strangely poetic come year’s end. That after seeing what might arguably be the year’s best offering release in recent weeks, Babylon’s Fall by contrast, could very well stand as its worst.

    Babylon's Fall is a terrible experience all the way throughout. Reaching the endgame and postgame content (when the game actually becomes quite good) doesn't matter because the journey to get to that point is the most painfully boring affair in gaming. The game's dull story and horrendous visuals certainly don't do this game any favors.

    I will start with the good things about this game, but there are some bads too, that keep it from being masterpiece.

    + The battle system is    I will start with the good things about this game, but there are some bads too, that keep it from being masterpiece.

    + The battle system is totally adictive. Perfectly crafted Platinium game. Different weapon setup totally change the playstyle. Even same weapon with different enchantments may change the day. The Attacks of all enemies are clean and visible. The bosses have great mechanics, on the level of MMO games. So 10 out of 10 on this part.

    + World is another thing that holds pretty well. There are some enviorment hazzards to keep it fresh, personal favorite was to fight sliding on ice. Pure 10 out of 10 here too.

    + Story itself is kind of mediocre, but game like this really don't need anything more. I just don't feel like this game needs to have anything complex in there, just something to keep the action going, and they deliver on it pretty fine.

    And here we go with the issues.
    - Presentation of microtansactions. First season pass is free for all, most games with this model are not giving it free, so I would call that plus, they promissed next season passes to be around 10$ and that sounds positive too (compared to the price of most saeson passes). But how badly this is presented to the player, full cinematic, dialog, every time when you log in pop up windows about it, it is just painful. There are NO GAMPLAY MICROTRANSACTIONS. But players feel like they are super important, from the tutorial they show you about the cosmetics you can buy with RMT, after that if you want to buy stuff with ingame currency, the show will open on RMT page first every time. It is just painfully annoying.
    - Visually the game is just bad, and no, if you turn off the painting effect it is not that bad. However during most of the cinematics and while you are in town, there is this painting effect that is just not crafted well enough and makes everything looks bad. Hairs are super outdated, can make even From Software proud of their work. But I would not call this total lost, because the game fly with no frame drops or any other performance issues, while you are beating the **** out of enemies, that is kind of important.

    - No scale depending on party members. The game is made to be multiplayer, I get it. And most of the missions I can fight solo if I can't find people, that is cool. Once you learn how to DPS properly, enemies die fast, so that is all fine. UNTIL BOSS, some of the bosses in this game just need a bit of punch in their HP bar if you play solo. It is just that Babylon is going out around so many great games, even square enix have great games this part of the year, it just can't hold too many players at launch, and leaving it in a state where it is expected from you to find party all the times is a bad choice.    … Expand

    Dear Square Enix,
    This is the problem with the greediness. There's absolutely no reason to sell a AAA game in a price of a "next gen console"    Dear Square Enix,
    This is the problem with the greediness. There's absolutely no reason to sell a AAA game in a price of a "next gen console" for PC. PC is not a next gen console so please leave this **** from this platform. Also the game costs 70€ which is already expensive but turned out, there are tons and tons of microtransaction! A 70€ game shouldn't have any microtransaction. This is a free to play modell game with a price of a full game. The game itself is very bad and poorly made. This isn't worth 70€, not even 30€! This is a free to play quality game with unreasonable amount of microtransaction.    … Expand
