Nearly 20 days after its release, The First Descendant arrived to breathe fresh air into the saturated looter shooter genre. To directly compete with the popular Destiny 2, this game has introduced various mechanics and opportunities to create and customize each character to one’s liking.
Players can combine different abilities with weapon usage to create the optimal build. The game has already received several criticisms from its active players, and now, thanks to the new patch, it seems that performance is not improving.
The First Descendant and a Community Attentive to Issues
Nexon presented its new third-person action game that offers a variety of characters with different abilities and weapon usage.
This year, The First Descendant has already surpassed a significant number of players, and it appears the game will continue to grow if the studio can keep players’ attention with new content and other additions.
Any popular game has players who are unhappy with its performance or other aspects. A Reddit user detailed extensively in a long post what he likes and dislikes about the game.

Among the issues, he specifically noted how performance dropped after the latest patch. This user fervently asks the studio to fix these issues.
Nexon Needs to Focus More on the Community

One of the things this Reddit user described was that he had a lot of time to play The First Descendant, which allowed him to test it and detail all the problems he found so specifically.
After the last patch, the game stops functioning normally after two or three hours of play, forcing the user to restart it. He also added that even after doing this, the issue persists.
Many users seem to agree with what this player posted, detailing other issues they encountered. A user expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of lip synchronization and audio synchronization.
Another user appears to have expressed concerns about input lag and how the controls respond once pressed.
The conclusion to all these issues is that Nexon needs to work much harder to improve The First Descendant’s performance. Despite being free to play and recently released, the title appears to be far from its peak.
This community of players wants the best quality and performance possible from this title from the start, and it seems they will become increasingly demanding.
