4/5 ★ – EddyJpeg's review of Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel.
when I learned this would be a competitive focus online Yugioh honestly I had totally lost interest in it as someone who is very much a casual Yugioh player but when randomly got released last week was a surprise to find a fairly impressive single-player mode with some of the most challenging decks I have ever seen in any Yugioh campaign
it's also just really great looking and by some miracle given this is a Konami game the way to build a deck seems pretty fair and so far, not being too pay to win which hopefully stays that way
basically, the way it works is when you acquire a card from a certain set you unlock a "secret" pack that you can buy with the in-game currency that gets you other cards from that set so it's surprisingly easy to get the cards you might actually want which can be a problem in duel links
also once you have a card you can simply craft another one-two to make a playset which is super helpful especially for staples
I am probably not gonna play this game too much now that I have completed its single-player content but honestly, this seems like a really strong entry in the Yugioh series especially for those looking for a more complete and competitive experience (and also playing legally I guess) that just isn't there with duel links
I say this as someone who likes duel links and has put over 200hours into it
