    A cool museum piece, but far too tedious and clunky.

    A fun reminder of how RuneScape used to be back when I first played; It's amazing to see just how much has changed (and wonder how we lived with the potato graphics). If you're new to RuneScape then definitely go with RS3, you'll have a much more enjoyable time. If you yearn to go back to how things used to be (or really enjoy tedium

    If you yearn to go back to how things used to be (or really enjoy tedium and hate Quality of Life updates) then this is the game for you.

    Very fun game, but a LOT is locked behind a paywall, which just gets rid of the fun.

    You just go and play until you have to pay.

    You wouldn’t know to look at it though, its graphics looking hilariously ropey by today’s standards, but playing it reveals a game that is still in a class of its own. Without a central story or campaign to anchor you, once you’ve completed the grossly insufficient tutorial you’re left to do practically anything you like in a world that contains well over a decade’s worth of gameplay for newcomers.

    Despite some battery and bug issues, Old School Runescape's port makes it clear that the classic game belongs on mobile devices.

    One of the best MMOs comes to mobile with most of its charm and playability intact.
