102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
NARAKA: BLADEPOINT, developed by 24 Entertainment and published by NetEase Games, is a bold reinterpretation of the battle royale formula that replaces traditional firearm-dominated encounters with fluid, high-intensity melee combat.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay & combat itself feels highly rewarding however, the learning curve is steep & I don't think there is an actual skill ceiling to this game or if there is, I can't see it yet...theres a lot of mechanics to be mastered.
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When Blizzard announced Overwatch 2, the big new feature they announced, the entire premise that made it "worth the sequel treatment" was the PvE campaign mode.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Highly recommend giving this a try if you're looking for an alternative BR/Combat focused PvP game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
