First descendant is a good game. Its not perfect but for a free game it's definitely s tier. Its available on Xbox, PS and pc not many games offer that. Its free to play and the items in shop you buy with money can be made without spending a dime. It is definitely not pay to win. Its pay to progress faster and look cooler.
It took me a while to find where they send the currency after you purchase it but there's an inbox in the shop. Almost positive thats what happened with other reviewers that said they never recieved the currency.
The aim assist can be annoying when fighting mobs that require you to hit specific spots. you are able to adjust it in the options but the default on Xbox is a problem lol.
For a looter shooter game its got a great balance between giving you good stuff vs having to grind for them. The drop rates can be low for certain items but it gives a sense of accomplishment when you finally get them. Still waiting for freyna enhanced cells to drop 😪
If you're looking for a game to play with friends I think its the best one out there because of accessibility
