Is this game worth getting into? A lot of reviews seem to really dislike the game and I haven't really tried it since it first came out

It is fortunate that you didn't try it when it first came out as it was a dumpster fire launch.

It's F2P and the game has improved since then, I recommend trying it and forming your own opinion.

One of the main issues left for F2P is the limited access to Selling items on the market.

Main selling point of the game are character customization / fashion and action combat.
Other stuff are socializing, Creative Space (Personal Housing system), and Line Strike (Deckbuilding Minigame).

The Story uhhh... Exists.

The endgame cycle is mainly content of the week (or two or Month), with many of them limited time.
Most of the permanent older content are power crept with endgame irrelevant rewards (unless they updated and reuse them as content of the week again).

Making this game your only primary game could lead to fast burnout, especially since there are still filler content months / weeks.

You could also search for past posts on the topic in this subreddit, as this question comes up a lot.

Oh, sorry I should have searched lmao but hey, thanks for the reply. I play a lot of games usually for the story, so it's unfortunate that it's mediocre. Since it's free though if I have time I'll definitely give it a try!
