Babylon's Fall Reviews
Babylon's Fall is a multiplayer online RGP game where you can personalize your character to fight cooperatively with more online players. This game mix severals mechanicals, such as hack and slash, action RPG or online cooperative. This risky approach is interesting but, we cannot explorate all the potential of this game yet. The plot and how this game looks like, needs to be nearer to the current generation of videogames. However, could bring us some good experiences and could be enjoyable.

Babylon's Fall has fast, flashy combat and a generally enjoyable structure, but is packed with issues, ranging from its limited co-op function to live service elements, which appear to have sealed its fate.
Babylon's Fall is simply a nonsensical title that conceptually could have worked and at times seems to, but then the predatory and currency-locked design comes into play and ruins the whole experience, if not completely nullifies it. This is literally a "Pay 2 Enjoy" title, meaning that in order to enjoy the best armour, aesthetics and rewards the only way is to either pay or agree not to do so and be fobbed off with armour recycled from Final Fantasy XIV (and at this point we'd recommend spending the money on that). We don't know how long Babylon's Fall will go on, but the only way to at least save the game will be to remove the premium shop completely and put its rewards in as drops for major tasks, then maybe Platinum's Games' tried-and-true rhythm will keep a loyal niche.

If you love loot-based games and like the idea of wielding four weapons at once, you can get some enjoyment out of Babylon’s Fall. You’ve got to look past the drab visuals though, and have plenty of patience to get through its opening hours and lack of direction. Ultimately, there are some good ideas here, and some fun moments to be had, but they’re wrapped up in a package that feels rough around the edges and not up to the usual standard that you’d expect from PlatinumGames.
Once again, Square Enix fails miserably with another one of these infamous games as a service. Babylon's Fall feels like it was just made as a quick and easy cashgrab, and even PlatinumGames's incredible talent isn't enought to save this trainwreck.

Babylon’s Fall is a failure on multiple levels made worse by a plethora of outdated ideas and Square’s reluctance to innovate on the games-as-a-service model that ensures that it’ll never stand out in a sea of other mediocre live service games. This would have been an ok game if it weren’t for the premium track battle pass that really doesn’t seem to appeal to anyone. In its current state, it’s not worth the asking price.
Babylon's Fall is not only not a good game, but it is the worst game made by Platinum Games.

Babylon's Fall is a huge wasted opportunity. Supported by ingenious mechanics such as the Gideon Arms or the Dynamis Abilities, the combat system had the potential to shine with a new and intense light, but the questionable choice to postpone to the endgame the unlocking of crafting and skills related to the three races greatly slows down the progression, placing the player in front of an unbearable monotony and spurring him to abandon the product within a few hours.

Babylon's Fall isn't a broken action RPG, but it isn't a good one, either – and it's one of the ugliest games in several console generations.
Not only the worst game Platinum has ever made but one of the worst live service titles of any kind, with an especially disgusting attitude towards microtransactions.
I honestly don’t know what they were thinking when designing and releasing this game. Avoid Babylon’s Fall as it is not worth your money or your time.
Unfortunately, the attempt by Square Enix and Platinum Games to enter the world of Games as a Service with BABYLON’S FALL has ended in a mediocre game that will pass with more pain than glory in the world.

Babylon's Fall is a mixed bag with combat mechanics and customisation standing at the forefront of the positives. But the majority of the game just doesn't flow as well as it could’ve with dated graphics, shockingly repetitive gaming loop and expensive microtransactions, Babylon's Fall is a bit of a letdown.
From a dismal effort on the front of graphics, user interface, player onboarding, sound design, and essentially every other aspect of game design, Babylon’s Fall is a failure. Games have bounced back from disastrous launches in the past, but in this case, I feel like it may be best to let sleeping dogs lie. The game’s one and only saving grace is that Platinum Games truly are the kings of combat, and while Babylon’s Fall is nowhere near the top of their collection of works, hacking and slashing your way through the Tower of Babel is at least, occasionally, kind of fun. It is just a crying shame that there is very little else to enjoy from the game; there isn’t anything pretty to look at, nice to listen to, or easy to engage with.
BABYLON'S FALL is a huge disappointment. The initial charm of the combat system fades off very quickly and the level design feed that feeling of monotony of boredom. This is a shame, as the combat and the narrative concepts have so much potential.

Babylon's Fall gets wrong everything that you can get wrong in a game.

Babylon's Fall is a terrible experience all the way throughout. Reaching the endgame and postgame content (when the game actually becomes quite good) doesn't matter because the journey to get to that point is the most painfully boring affair in gaming. The game's dull story and horrendous visuals certainly don't do this game any favors.
Babylon's Fall doesn't have the ability to offer a rich and enjoyable multiplayer section.

Babylon's Fall has a very fun and well thought out combat system for a multiplayer environment, but it needs several tweaks to make it a more accessible and user-friendly experience if it is to succeed in the long run.

With lacklustre combat, serious flaws in visual design and clarity, and a complete absence of synergistic team-based gameplay, Babylon’s Fall is a disappointing attempt at a live-service game.
