World of Warships: Legends

COMBAT ACTIONS AND GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME...

I played World of Warships Legends for a long time on PlayStation. I don't have that console anymore, and when this came to PC I was very excited. Warships legends is a bit more arcade style than the OG PC game. It's also more user friendly if you ask me, gameplay wise. It looks great on PC, and runs super smooth for me. There are some odd rare lag spikes, but being a fan also of World of Tanks, it's not my first rodeo with this. Gameplay wise, it's fun. A lot of fun. I work hectic hours sometimes and it's nice to come home and play some quick matches before I pass out. PvP could use some work. Matchmaking is like any other Wargaming game where it's always a gamble. One match you get a great team, the next you really wish you were on red team instead. It's tough sometimes to enjoy PvP when your teammates saw the Leroy Jenkings video and said "yeah let's do that". It's still fun, but expect some frustration. Expect a grind like any Wargaming game. The tech trees Tier VI and beyond are a bit of a grind, playing with a division helps. I kind of wish Wargaming just kept the PvE Operations mode War Tales around 24/7 as it's an excellent way to grind the tech tree ships. Commanders are also the other grind of this game. Specifically, promotion orders and insignias can hold back leveling up a Commander. Weekly quests help, but you've gotta keep up on them otherwise you'll be like me with over two million commander XP, and not enough promotion orders or insignias half the time. The only thing that Legends just like anything else made by Wargaming has issues with, is its premium shop. Not everything is terribly priced. While not on PC yet hopefully, on other platforms for $10 a month you get 30 days premium, some boosters, and 2,750 doubloons which is more than needed for each month 's campaign. For me, that's perfect. That allows me to play the campaign each month to get the goodies. Their ship prices are a bit more whack. Ranging from some starter packs for $3, but getting as high as $100+ for one ship at higher tiers. I haven't ever bought a high tier ship, only just done the campaign ships or got lucky with a free box. I strongly recommend others do the same, as spending $100 for a single ship isn't worth it if you ask me. But, where the purchases fall short is their limited time events. Specifically, anything crossover. Wargaming has gotten a bit out of hand with these. Star Trek, my favorite TV show of all time, for example needed around 70k doubloons for all the items. That's about $250 USD+. Now, the Azure Lane event with all seven ways back, is almost $1,000 USD for all of them. Sure, you could buy the lootboxes and gamble to spend less but I'm not here to gamble. I am here to have fun. Overall I still recommend World of Warships Legends. It's a fun time, especially with friends. Wargaming needs to bring the $10 a month offer ASAP that includes the premium and doubloons as I think that's a fantastic offer PC players deserve as well. But the game does have its faults with the not so great matchmaking, and it's crazy premium shop prices. If you get into this game, I highly recommend at least not go crazy spending. Grinding the tech tree is the best way to get experienced at this game.
