Once you’re created and named your character, you have the option of playing a short prologue to introduce the story. It’s nothing special in a world with character creators like the Sims 4 or Black Desert Online, but at least you probably won’t run into your doppelganger while exploring around the world of Bless. Character customization has the requisite amount of sliders, hair options, and features that make it serviceable. (Where are my bunny boys and big buff cat ladies, Square?!?) Once you pick a class, you can choose from generally one of two races to begin customizing. At least there aren’t any gender-locked races, which is about the only thing Bless has over my MMO of choice, Final Fantasy XIV. Want to play as a small bunny/dog-ish thing with a gigantic axe? Bless says no. Bless Unleashed starts off on the wrong foot by committing one of MMOs’ great sins: Race restricted classes. But, for the sake of organization, let’s start at the beginning: namely the story and character creation.īefore you begin customizing your avatar, you’ll have to choose your class. When you actually start playing, however, that step forward becomes more of a step to the side: combat feels sluggish and unresponsive and your running speed is so slow you could take a nap and reach your destination when you wake up. Combat is more active with strings of combos that expand as you level up and no more clicking on a quest to automatically walk there. On the surface, Bless Unleashed is taking a step in the right direction. It’s satisfying to put in the effort then see the fruits of your labor, but what I don’t find appealing is when that effort only consists of waiting a long stretch of time. If I’m being honest, there is a part of me that finds numbers getting bigger in games appealing for example, in the Xenoblade games I love to get at least one of my tank’s HP to the max of 9999. From what I could gather, it was essentially a waiting game where you watched the numbers go up so you could wait more and get even bigger numbers.
All I remember is that I played as a large cat-lady archer, combat consisted of short combo strings, and exploration boiled down to clicking your current quest and waiting until your character automatically walked there. I only played a bit of the original, and at this point I’ve forgotten almost everything about the game.

It’s the kind of train wreck you’ll actually look away from, because there’s nothing to see here.īless Unleashed is the successor to Bless, which only released on PC and was… also pretty bad. It’s the kind of bad game that feels awful to control in every aspect, but every time you log in it’ll ask you for more money. It’s the kind of bad that will ask you to cross a large map then tell you your gear isn’t good enough to progress, so you spend the next few hours grinding for better equipment. Now, MMO’s are famous for being time sinks – I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XIV since 1.0 launched in 2010 and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon – but Bless is a special kind of bad. Each time I started up Bless Unleashed, I could feel my time and energy being sucked away.
