“This game feels so good and so fun—it gives me pure nostalgia, like playing LoL back in the day when it was all about having fun and testing stupid builds with friends. I’ve been a LoL player since 2015, but after 2022…”
“Fun game that's easy to pick up if you have any other MOBA related experience. Not perfect but fun and enjoyable.”
“I played a lot of Paragon back in the day and the state of Predecessor today is far superior to it in every way. Mainly, the heroes are more fun to play with some nice tweaks to character abilities and deeper augments…”

“I'm fairly new to the MOBA community with just under 155 hours. I've spent the last decade and more playing FPS/Shooter styled games like: Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. So this is a refreshing experience to say the least. I'm deeply invested into Predecessor as it has been…”

But I've put almost 3000 hours into it so clearly it's doing something right. If you played Paragon back in the day, you already know what this is. Omeda Studios picked up what Epic threw in the…”
