    Solid MMO with a lot of good ideas

    I'll just start by saying this is NOT the game for everyone. If you like old school MMOs like WoW, Star Wars Galaxies, and Ultima Online then you will find a ton here to love. The overall story is kind of "meh", but the gameplay is solid, the weapons and combat feel good, the visuals are impressive, and there is a ton of fun stuff to do with your friends and factions. However if you are looking for something like Dark Souls or Skyrim, this is likely not the game for you. There is a ton of inventory management, content is gatekept by a creeping power score, and overall it is a VERY grindy game. For those of us who love the grind this is a keeper. Oh, and the game is visually stunning. Ray tracing really shines (thank you thank you) here and you will often find yourself gawking at the sunrise and rays of light casting through the trees in a haunted forest. The graphics aren't always amazing, and some textures get a little funky, but when everything hits just right it's a *chef's kiss* moment. You can play this totally solo. I completed all main campaign content in about 150 hours totally solo outside of some random people showing up to help. If you have friends or family to play with it's a lot more enjoyable. Tip - sign up with a faction early and get into a large company if possible. You will be able to take part in some really fun PvE and PvP content that you may otherwise not know exists until you complete all the campaign content. Plus, you'll likely find a lot better gear in the process. Microtransaction note - this is a full priced game that also presents a $10+ battle pass and has tons of cosmetic items you can buy. The transmog system is mostly locked behind a pay wall. If you hate microtransactions and paid content being around every corner, just brace yourself a bit ;)

    Wasn’t expecting much but pleasantly surprised. Has voice acting for not only main story but even side quest. Gives off a “Fable” vibe as one of the OG Xbox classics. Has enough variety to entertain you and keep it from getting stagnant. Skins are nice and considering they are expensive in game not the worst purchase.

    I thought this game was very enjoyable. The only negative is, it is very repetative
