Summary
The successes of Defiance are quickly overshadowed by its flaws. Trion Worlds promises that Defiance will continue to evolve and improve. I hope so: beneath the muck is a game that deserves better.
We like
- Solid gameplay
- One of the only MMOs on PS3
We dislike
- Forgettable story and characters
- Extremely repetitive
- A lot of technical issues
