The Elder Scrolls® Online

Honestly a real fun game. I bought ESO (with all the DLCs on Steam) when it was on sale, and at first I didn't think I'd enjoy it that much, because I prefer singleplayer games, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoy playing. That said, it does have some downsides. ESO+ is basically a must-have. Okay sure, you can play without it, but inventory management will be a genuine nightmare beyond what you may be thinking. ESO without ESO+ is only for people who enjoy constant back-and-forth for hours on end. Also, bear in mind that, even if you buy the game with all the DLCs on Steam, you still don't have access to all in-game content. There are a significant lot of regions that are stuck behind DLCs you either buy in the in-game store with Crowns (a currency you buy on Steam for the game), which is the very expensive option, or by having ESO+ - but the latter means that if you drop ESO+, you no longer have access to those DLCs. It's kinda BS all around. So... I think the game still earns a solid 7/10. Frankly, gameplay wise it's arguably a 10/10, but the annoying financial choices for this game drop it to a 7 for me. If that's not an issue to you, then I doubt you'll find anything to complain about this game!

Great MMO its a shame that they all have the same problem. Kill x of these, Run to location x,y,z, pray for loot drops. I will say this is one of the top MMOs tho and highly recommend it. Just wish for something new GW3 might scratch that itch and bring us something new

With this many hours in the game, I don't think I could NOT recommend it. In it's current state it's harder to stay actively involved in what's going on in the game though. The Elder Scrolls Online has entered it's "next stage in life", which isn't the same experience that I have had, when I first started the game. The game still have roughly infinite amount of content, but with the halt on new expansions to the map, they've changed their trajectory more towards a maintainance mode and updating what's already in the game and as sad as it has been, it was never exactly unpredictable. I wouldn't advice to buy this game if you struggle with FOMO, gambling addiction or similar afflictions as the game is pushing you to invest more and more money into it, with the base game giving you a limited experience of what's out there. The optional subscription model is fair from my own point of view, but the numerous in-game currencies really cloud your judgment in how much you end up spending and it's way too easy to go overboard. I have no experience from other MMORPG's to make a comparison if ESO is functionally better or worse than any other MMO out there. A big draw for me for ESO is and was that the social aspect for a lot of the game is optional. They've made this even easier over the years with NPC companions and Group Finders so you are able to opt in and out as you please. But when you do want to be social, the community is actually pretty nice and helpful. And despite what everyone says, ESO isn't dead just yet. Now is as good a time as any to come to ESO or to return back to ESO. It's perfect as a solo or a group activity and you'll find so much to do that you'll completely forget about the amount of money and time you've spent on it.

I started playing ESO again after few years and I couldnt remember why I stopped. After 14 days I am sure I know why. So many downtimes. There are maintanance days (literaly). I had multiple login server issues (EU) during that 14 days. I don't mind paying for mmo with so much content but this is just unacceptable. There are MMOs with basicaly zero downtime (looking at you Guild Wars 2 - not a single downtime in like 14 years) and no subscription. If you are looking at stream with developers, there is no metion about this so I am sure they don't want do anything about downtimes. So happy they are reworking classes when you cant even play a game. Fix your servers. This is a joke.

its a good game,hope dont be dead

Yes, this game has an incredible amount of awesome content. I play it as it would be any singleplayer ES game, its is fantastic. Finally they added in overland difficulty setting so you can scale it better and make the game more challanging. It was just to boring before. I came back after many years of pause due to this change. I I can recommend the game a lot.

is fun

its fun challenging and hard and you can play with friends!!!

Пишу как чел, который любит сюжетные игры, без достигаторства, гринда, дэйликов и соулса. Искал простую рпг игру, симпатичную, светлое фентези, но не скайрим и обливион. Как любитель пве и соло - игра пока отлично заходит. Насыпают интересных квестов. Тут нет миссий с принеси-отнеси и есть выборы. Прикольные и интересные нпс с их разговорами. Из минусов хочу отметить более ммо-шную магию что ли, с применениями способностей, хотелось бы пулять из рук как в Скайриме. Играю за хранителя, нашел посох, который бьет постоянно током и вызвал компаньона медведя. Так что терпимо. Была бы возможность выключать других игроков, а то они иногда из под носа уводят опыт и забирают сундуки, но с другой стороны ты тоже можешь получить опыт от босса нахаляву) Итог: пока всем доволен.

9+
