The game is fantastic and if you are a 'normal' person that doesn't get scared by every obstacle in life and you like challenging, intellectually stimulating gameplay and content with probably the best social incorporation in MMOs to day, you will love EVE online.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best "game" in the world. As ever, a reader should discard any review of a multiplayer game where the reviewer has failed to play the game with other people. Lo and behold, most of the negative reviews on this game are from people who start out saying "I spent a day figuring this game out" or "I couldn't get into it" or "who plays this piece of crap" or "I like the character creator herpderp". If you aren't willing to take the time to play a multiplayer game with multiple players, you've never played it. That's rule number zero. Rule number one is increasing reward for increased risk. With EVE, this is true ingame and out. Risk more time and more resources, put yourself out there and meet new people and you may well be rewarded with endless fun and the best gaming experience there is -- or your name might be googlebombed if you try to become an internet celebrity like The Mittani did. Risk your ship and your ISK and you might make it big, or you might get ganked on the way there. The trick is managing those risks. Rule number two: EVE can be modelled as one big series of prisoner's dilemmas. Is the chatty guy in local out to get you? At what point should you grab the loot accrued with your newfound friend and run? Are the people around you whom you have chosen to risk trusting going to take everything from you tomorrow, or while you sleep?
   
   Rule number three: specialize. Yes, there are people smarter than you who have been playing this game for almost a decade. Yes, you may never catch up to them. But skills work such that no one character has them all, and this is unlikely ever to happen as CCP grows the game. If you choose a niche or playstyle (do your research) and if you apply the resources to hand intelligently, and better yet if you team up with people you can trust, nothing can stand in your way. A corollary of this is specialist knowledge: don't hand out the tricks of your trade for free, or you won't be able to charge as much for them. And so, I leave the rest of the rules for you to discover. Here's a rubik's cube. Go **** yourself.… Expand

   EVE Is interesting because there is nothing else like it, and most likely won't be again for a very long time. Most of the issue with the game is just on the business side of things.
   
   It really should not be subscription-based at this point. It's not worth that much to be honest.… Expand

   First and foremost: unless you can find a bunch of co-players - you're nothing.
   That's not how it was advertised...
   Activities which could, in theory, be solo'able are either not worth the effort (i. e. quite low income vs playtime and no fun) or hidden deep within 'back to 2000'ies' user interface.
   
   Second, unless you buy Omega subscription - you're nothing.
   That's not how it was advertised...
   In theory, your character can learn some skills to be quite decent. In fact, you'll be crushed by pilots whose ships, while being of same model with yours, have twice a durability and twice a firepower (at least!) just because of all OP things Omega allows to use. Even as a tackler you'll be just worse than average Omega-powered tackler. Aside of tackling, you have no use for anything without Omega anyway.
   
   Third, after all those years of megacorporations' domination, developers decided to cut the in-game cash flow for them...
   ...without increasing solo/small guild playable activities' attractivemess. Awesome.
   That's not how it was advertised...
   
   Fourth, 15$/month for just staring into display while my character is researching blueprints? Diggin ore? Trying to do one's best at market?
   15$/month is too costy for playing an in-game character 'class' whose sole responsibility is to click few buttons every once a while. Result: a good digger/researcher is hard to find. Thus, outrageous, desperate multiaccounting, botting, etc. Which doesn't add any chance to play and actually enjoy the game for solo and/or non-Omega players.
   
   Fifth, despite seemingly strict moderation the game is full of 'git gud' jerks.
   Which is NOT novice-friendly. Asking for advice may result in anything except an advice.
   
   Long story short, if you didn't played it - don't even try unless you have 2-6 friends to mess around with - and spare 15$/friend to purchase Omega for each.
   And, there are way more fun games to mess with 2-6 friends around - for less cash.… Expand

He who has stuff or tons of friends, goes around picking on the weak and yes, they can detect and come after you no matter where you are. Some find this fun, the problem is that its mindless. A few reviewers write that the game has a hard learning curve, but it really does not. You can learn how to fly anything once you learn what the equipment does then its just a matter of quick min/max depending on functionality but its moot and the game boils down to he who can afford better stuff = win. New players are at a huge disadvantage and are reduced to fodder for everyone else or are forced to join gangs (I dont call them guilds in this game). Thats basically Eve in a nutshell, if it were not for trolling/zerging weaker enemies, there is not much to do. Mining and missions are insanely boring and not well implemented. PvE is not done well as enemies are dumb as door knobs and easily defeated by re-configuring your ship or using a different ship as needed. The AI does not work together even when they have numbers and frankly... its embarrassing, and soooo boring due to how slow it is.
   
   Now lets talk about the worst part of this game. Skills are learned through a timer in real time... yep. You read that right. You click on the skill you want to learn, then you wait. As you move up in skills, the time to level new skills goes up significantly. Some skills take a week to level if not more (this is where I stopped). There is an obvious problem with this system. The person who has played longer will have a huge advantage over someone new because they simply spent more time in the game leveling skills. It does not matter if they are skilled or not, this system is so imbalancing that its comical. Dont listen to the zealots who review this game highly. They will tell you the game is balanced and new players have a chance, they really dont unless the veteran player is drunk and asleep at the keyboard. Veterans of the game are handed huge advantages in almost every way (dont forget they will also be very rich and can afford any ship they want) and since this game is all about PvP, you will never encounter a fair fight in this game. Thus, PvP is moot. Its like an adult picking a fight with a kid. Its trivial 99% of the time and not fun unless you are the type of enjoys this sort of thing. To that, I say, grow a spine.
   
   Very badly designed game.… Expand

Jogabilidade ridícula, e um sistema de combate enfadonho e a falta de animações e detalhes em coisas simples relacionadas a nave, mal otimizado. Interfaces confusas, mal feitas, e complexas, essa complexidade não se deve a profundidade das mecânicas, mas sim como elas são apresentadas de maneira porca na sua tela, customização de naves ridícula e progressão tediosa e arrastada, é um jogo de 2013 que não evoluiu desde então, mas é sustentado por uma comunidade fiel. E pra fechar com chave de ouro, pay 2 win até o talo!!!… Expand
