The value story

The value story

Its score sits in the top 38 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Super Animal Royale (free, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats 武侠乂 The Swordsmen X ($24.99, scores 0).

It is still busy. 4.9K players were online when we last checked, on Nov 4, 21:45 UTC, across 35 days of weekly checks. Free to start. PCGamingWiki lists loot boxes in it, the aggressive kind of in-app purchase.

More about NARAKA: BLADEPOINT

Players rate it 73 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 62 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 4,854 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It carries the aggressive kind of in-app purchases, and the score already docks it for that.

HowLongToBeat players log 21.7 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 119, 5.5 times as much.

The rating rests on 303,566 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

What players say

After almost 250 hours on this game I've concluded the following: - 1) THE GAME IS IN DIRE NEED OF A DEDICATED 1V1 GAME MODE - The current "lobby" 1v1 game mode is very slow and bottle necked due to its current structure. The current structure forces players trying to do a 1v1 battle to just sit there and watch as the whole lobby franticly fights to be next in que, waiting around 1 stone statue to be next in line.
