I REALLY wish there was a "Maybe" option instead of yes or no, because while I love this game, it's a very "your mileage may vary" situation.

While the core of the game is fantastic and one of the best entries in the series in a long time, there's so many little negative things that pile up and sour the experience, from the poor optimization, to small annoyances regarding how weapons feel compared to past entries like World, to the washed-out colors making everything look bland, to the relative ease of the base game's monsters compared to past games. The game is good and fun and I love it!

But it needs work. Badly. Hold off until bugs start getting fixed and the performance gets optimized a fair bit. After that all gets done, I can recommend this 100%.

World had a similarly rocky launch, but was eventually fixed up to be amazing. I'm hoping the same happens here with Wilds.

Doesn't really feel like a game. The idea is there, but it's just not engaging.

Pros: Good, fun, giant monsters, I have a dog, co-op is super fun

Cons: No cross-play or cross-save and I can't pet the giant monsters

11/10

An unending grindathon, awesome monsters and fantastic combat. Yeah, I'd say it's pretty good.

That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
A++ Would waste 30 minutes of my life again.

I really wish there was an in-between vote for recommendations, because I would otherwise set this game as a "maybe." As someone who has played all of the DotP games, this is probably the clunkiest release since the first game. I mean, if you can get past that, it's still pretty fun, but I wouldn't go out of the way for it. If you're looking for a decent MtG game to while away your time, I would personally recommend DotP 2013 or 2014 over this one. If you enjoyed those, you might like this one, but I'd advise you to wait for a sale.

For one, the menus are AWFUL. They're a pain to navigate, somewhat unresponsive, and the design direction just so unnecessary. Thankfully, the main dueling UI is very nice and clean, though it also suffers from a lack of responsiveness. The AI is still horribly flawed and I've noticed that it still likes to "cheat" in cards that it shouldn't have in it's hand, namely spells that had already been cast the maximum times for the deck in use and had never been retrieved from the graveyard. The game also looks to favor customers who pay for card unlocks. All cards can still be unlocked, but it'll take a metric ton of time and grinding to do so.

If you can get past the serious flaws of the game, it's still quite enjoyable and it's still a fun and cheap way to enjoy Magic without dropping a fortune on the physical cards or MtGO.

Amazing game. I highly recommend this one.
It's definitely a bit dated by this point, but don't let that deter you from trying it out. There IS a main story quest, but you can completely ignore it if you want and just go around doing whatever you wish, whether it's helping random people, experimenting with alchemy, sacking villages or destroying bandit hideouts. The ammount of freedom this game gives the player is astounding, making every playthrough and character unique. So go on, give it a go. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
