• The Duskbloods network test was not good between lag, stuttering, and bad PvP

  24-08-2026 20:59 via gamesradar.com

Between significant performance issues, convoluted rules, and frustrating PvP, I really don't like The Duskbloods so far.

Meanwhile, it's not hard to find RPG fans claiming they've spent more than 1,000 hours in the game with multiple playthroughs.Take Ray Chase, the voice behi
