PC Critic Reviews

Will I keep playing Blade & Soul Neo? Probably. It’s a way for me to relive the summer of 2014, hunkered down with my laptop, next to my partner, coordinating how to duo a boss we had no right fighting. And if I stick around long enough I might even get the chance to check out classes that were released by the time I dropped the game. I just can’t see the revival of this MMORPG being a particularly large success for NCSOFT, even if I wish it would be.

Blade & Soul NEO feels like a MMORPG stuck in the 2000s. There is plenty of grinding to be done, but neither the gameplay nor the writing will be compelling enough for you to keep playing.
