\u201cIt\u2019s just not very good. Rare well-designed quests are overshadowed by a host of others that feel phoned in, and though the fundamentals of shooting are competent, weak enemy AI makes the PvE combat a bore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edge<\/a>: 5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cA bigger problem still is the absence of a motivation to work with other players. Objectives are usually thinly disguised fetch quests or encounters where you must defend a character, usually Cass, against waves of enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nEurogamer Germany<\/a>: 8\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cDefiance does more things right than you might initially think. The MMO shooter does take its sweet time until it gets going, but the collecting of weapons and the massive battles kept me engaged even when not doing some quest. It’s a surprisingly eclectic title, that managed to do away with my skepticism and that still holds my attention, even after many hours of play.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gamespot<\/a>: 6.5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cDefiance is the B movie of massively multiplayer games: rickety and unrefined, yet a good time all the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polygon<\/a>: 6.5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cEven with its blemishes, there’s a lot of enjoyment to be had in the creaking world of Defiance 1.0. Its creators have banked on the “fun shall overcome” school of game design which, with exceptions, Defiance achieves. I only wish it didn’t have to overcome quite so much.\u201d<\/p>\n
PC Gamer<\/a>: 62\/100<\/h3>\n\u201cA competent MMO shooter marred by a lack of polish, whose TV tie-in ambitions only seem set to cause problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
