There are games – the kind that do not make headlines in the specialized media – that come and kiss the saint as soon as they set foot on Steam because, for whatever reason, they have managed to connect with users, causing unbearable hype that they do not like. leaves more output than buying it. And that seems to be happening with the latest phenomenon that was officially launched on December 1st: Predecessor .
Then you have to maintain the hype
It is true that we have many games in our memory that followed the same path and when they started playing all those who trusted him decided to go to the same place they had come from and give up everything they had spent. In Predecessor , at least, that amount is not too high because it is free2play , although if we want to get hold of a bundle with selected objects, there are quite discounted alternatives.
And so much so that Predecessor has arrived on Steam, placing itself in the top 10 of the best sellers with its full version in a few hours , specifically in seventh position and very close (in 12th and 13th) its variants: on the one hand the pack of game plus the Rare DLC and on the other the Rare Bundle that includes the two out of the blue. And of course, who is not going to bite to get different heroes, ingame currencies and items and advantages when we can get everything for just 9.99 euros?
So, if you don’t know what Predecessor is, we are going to give you a few brief hints in case you are missing one of the names that will surely give the most talk in the month of December and that, for the moment, is located in a comfortable early access phase that, basically, means that we must forgive it for any bugs it may have before the arrival of the patch that marks its final release.
What is predecessor?
The key to this game is that it mixes two genres that have an inexhaustible source of alternatives in online competition. On the one hand, it is a MOBA, such as League of Legends or DOTA 2 , where we take a character with very specific qualities and jump into battle from scratch, gaining experience and configuring his skill tree, and on the other hand, the intensity of the FPS that they have, for example, in Destiny 2 one of its most recognized exponents.
It is true that the combination can yield very good results and in the case of this game that has been the main trump card that it has decided to play in the face of increasingly fierce competition within video games designed as services that try to survive being active for decades, changing only seasonal and always adding new content to keep the community alive.
It is obvious that on paper Predecessor looks very good , so much so that the reviews on Steam are all “Very positive”, but everything will depend on what happens in these first weeks of life , if it manages to connect and engage a community sufficiently large enough to guarantee its viability for the future.
If you try it, leave us in the comments if you think it will end up succeeding. I hope not?
