# Lineage2M vs Perfect World

The clearest difference is rating: Perfect World at 3.8 against Lineage2M's 3.0. Perfect World also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 21%). Lineage2M's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (919 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lineage2M sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Perfect World sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Perfect World holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lineage2M has 919 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of Lineage2M's written reviews are positive against 39% of Perfect World's.

Lineage2M ships an update fortnightly, Perfect World every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
