The open world of Aelio is an absolute joy to run around in, in no small part because Sega made movement so freeing and fun. Core chapter beats will frequently divulge bits of story regarding the conflict against the DOLL threat, then ask players to meet a “battle power” requirement, which serves as a way to gate people from continuing.įor me, the delight of the adventure itself far outweighed the reliance on battle power, or the need to immediately do what’s next. The campaign will end around level 13-15 or so (the level cap is 20 at the moment), and from there, you have the opportunity to embark upon Urgent Quests (boss battles that are the main endgame at the moment), level up all six classes on the same character, or try and max out your loot. Right now New Genesis is about where PSO 2 was at during launch in terms of content: that is to say, it’s roughly 15 hours worth of story and a tenuous endgame, which relies heavily on how much you like playing as a whole up to that point.
It’s kind of important to know if it’s worth the investment! After all, free-to-play games don’t cost money upfront, but they do cost time. I’ll get right into the dirtiness first though, so you know what to expect. New Genesis is an interesting beast of a game.
