We've been treated to a brand-new League of Legends experience on Xbox this week in the form of The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story, and the good news is that it's getting very impressive reviews so far.

There aren't all that many scores out there just yet, but OpenCritic classes the game as having an 82 Top Critic Average, which places it in the "Strong" category. The Metacritic rating (for PC) is also around the same figure right now.

Here's a look at what some of the reviews are saying:

PC Gamer (89/100)

"If you like media that combines high-octane action and bombastic political intrigue, The Mageseeker is well worth the time."

God Is A Geek (8.5/10)

"The Mageseeker is another reason for both fans and newcomers alike to be excited about where Riot are going to take League of Legends in the future, and despite it’s relatively short runtime it’s a solid action adventure in its own right."

GamingBolt (8/10)

"The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is another compelling spin-off from Riot Forge. Despite some imperfections, it offers fun gameplay, a well-realized world and a likable, if headstrong, protagonist."

Digital Trends (4/5)

"Whether you’ve put thousands of hours in League of Legends, only engage with ancillary material like me, or have never experienced anything set in Runeterra before, there’s a good chance you’ll find something enjoyable in The Mageseeker."

Siliconera (7/10)

"The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story manages to retain the essence of what it is to play Sylas, but suffers from consistency issues with its storytelling."

Polygon (Unscored)

"It’s very easy to fall into a Mageseeker hole and lose a few hours to its fluid gameplay loop. Levels are relatively short and snappy, punctuated by high-impact fights and challenging boss encounters. These missions are bridged by intriguing cutscenes and a much more complex plot than I had expected."


It sounds like The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story is worth the price of admission, then, which on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S is £24.99 / $29.99 at launch.

We'll leave some more details below, along with some screenshots.

"From Digital Sun, creators of Moonlighter, The Mageseeker is an action RPG in the League of Legends universe. Play as Sylas, a mage now freed from years in captivity. Wield the chains that once bound you and liberate Demacia from the Mageseekers' tyranny."
