Why you might like it

A distinctive sci-fi/fantasy setting and deep character customization set it apart from typical Western fantasy MMORPGs.
Fast, stylish action combat with a wide variety of weapon types rewards players who enjoy mobility and combo-based fighting.
Free-to-play with a large amount of story and combat content accessible without spending money.
The New Genesis update introduced a more open-world design, giving the game a modernized structure over the original 2012 release.
Cross-play between PC and Xbox lets friends play together across platforms.

Before you play

Things to consider

The Western population has declined substantially since the New Genesis relaunch, and community sentiment on its post-launch content pace has been mixed.
The Japanese version receives content ahead of the global version, and account/region transfers between them are not possible.
The New Genesis overhaul streamlined some systems in ways that longtime fans of the original PSO2 have found less satisfying.
Anti-cheat software compatibility issues have caused ongoing technical friction for some PC players.
Cosmetic and convenience items are a significant part of the cash shop, typical of many free-to-play live-service games.
