    P2W as hell, once you do adventure tomes - there's really nothing left to do but boring daily chaos dungeons and what not. Bots, poor feature unlocking for NA/EU (Summoner was original launch class on every region, also was in beta, but will be available 2023?..) and more bots.

    True story: my 4 year old daughter was able to play for long stretches without dying while pressing 1 button at a time on a controller. Yeah, combat is that poor.

    Also, the story is terrible and lazy. The quests are boring. You spend 75% of your time riding past enemies on your mount. You don't even bother fighting. Just ride right past. Might as well just have a "quick travel to mission marker" feature, because the experience would be exactly the same but take less time.    … Expand

    Honestly the atmosphere is so bland it is baffling. Over-the-top animations which at first seems very nice but ends up being repetitive quickly. Insanely easy gameplay all the way through leveling, It seems like it wants to do everything and just ends up being so forgettable.

The fact that its this popular boggles my mind. It shows that people are DESPERATE for anything....even doing HOURS and HOURS of non-missions and very little combat. Its sad. Your main objectives in any given area are as follows: Go here. Talk. Move object. Emote to someone. Talk to someone again. Go to a previous area, run the entire length of the map to talk to someone for 2 seconds, teleport back to quest giver. BLAH!! One mission had me teleporting TWENTY times. I didn't see combat for a half hour.

    It's a good game with horrible P2W systems. Pretty much what you would expect from every MMO these days. If you want to RMT or P2W through the store, this game can be really fun. If you want to be a F2P player like I was, you are too late and you will always be behind. Go try a newly released MMO instead.

There’s a million different systems in place to try and milk you for overpriced in game purchases, to the point you just feel overwhelmed. I know people have said “it really gets good in the end game”, but I can’t bring myself to suffer through that in the hopes that the game might get good at some point.

    Your average corean F2P MMO, but on a isometric ARPG format. Something like a Diablo 3 clone (combat is quite similar) but with F2P MMO elements inside.

    It could indeed use an "autopath" function and play itself like many mobile MMOs wich plays quite similar. It locks endgame content behind a campaign wich basically consist on getting from point to point getting and completing quest.    Your average corean F2P MMO, but on a isometric ARPG format.

    It locks endgame content behind a campaign wich basically consist on getting from point to point getting and completing quest.

    Combat is irrelevant as enemies doesn´t gives you noticeable exp or drop. Same goes for Sidequest, they could be completely removed from the game and would make no impact whatsoever.

    Playing with friends makes no sense, as the campaign is so easy and straightforward that teaming up will just slow you (there are little combat, and most missions are, again, just to get from A to B for the most part)

    When you reach endgame you´ll be overwhelmed by the amount of different kinds of "tokens" to purchase different kind of stuff. And the renowned endgame content wich you can finally play with friends, will be gated. 2 tries per day.

    That being said endgame consist on running the dungeons (just 2 times per day/characters, encouraging you to make alts) to farm gear and materials to craft gear wich will enable you to get to next tier dungeon. Sounds somehow ok-ish, until you find your progression artificially locked by daily chances or whatever.

    And again, the annoying missions persist as dailies: run from A to B then go to C and talk to D wich will send you E.

    So overall: its your regular F2P MMO, now with isometric view.

    If you are into those kind of games, go ahead. Its more of the same stuff. Otherwise, stay away.    … Expand

    I think this will go down in history as one of the best games of all times, at least in its genre.

    The combat starts out good, it's very flashy and meaty-feeling, but it begins to get repetitive after a bit and unlike many other MMOs it takes a very long time to get new skills, which ends up making your character feel stagnant in terms of power.

    The races suck. Each class being locked to a single race is honestly garbage. Want to be a Mage? Well, you HAVE to be a female elf so you can play as a Sorceress then, tough if you wanted to play as any other race or as a male character. And if you thought the World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XIV character creators were limited, they look like PSO2 next to Lost Ark's customization.

    The story is a joke. It's not even good for a laugh, it's the most soulless basic fantasy storytelling I've ever seen in anything. Before the game EVEN STARTS you're given a backstory where your character has already killed tons of important enemies presented as a slideshow. The fact that I've heard people compare this game's story to RPGs like Final Fantasy XIV or The Witcher is ludicrous.

    I will say the game LOOKS very nice though, if you're into a game for just the graphics this is probably the best MMO on the market visually currently. There are a few graphical bugs though, mainly to do with hair (longer hairstyles clip a LOT with armor too), and some of the running animations are almost comedically bad.

    The endgame is also, from what I've seen of it, incredibly grind-y. Maybe that's your thing. But personally I think I'm going to pass. If you're a casual player MMOs like FFXIV or PSO2 are probably worth your time more.    … Expand

    The environments look good and it can be fun to play with friends. That's about where my enjoyment of the game ends. Classes are restricted by gender currently. Every single female character is in stilettos with no way to change footwear. Ultra thin with large upper bodies. Zero variation. If you play a male class you get the amine beefcake body type or you get Dante from DMC.

Every single female character is in stilettos with no way to change footwear. Ultra thin with large upper bodies. Zero variation. If you play a male class you get the amine beefcake body type or you get Dante from DMC.

    I found very few classes to have an actual flow to their gameplay. It was often a series of disjointed abilities that didn't compliment each other or simply served to fill time between cooldowns of abilities that actually mattered. Every class, of it's 8 abilities you get to test prior to making a decision, had 3-5 abilities that literally did the same thing with a slightly different flair. Berserker had 5 downward slash abilities: two typical slashes, one slow one, one short hop slash, and one slightly larger hop slash. None did anything different than each other, just an animation and some damage. Why did this need to be 5 different abilities? Why not one with upgrade variations that changed what it did or how it looked? I ended up with the demonblade rogue class for most of my playtime, which also had about 4 minor variations to "two slashes" with no additional effects. Upgrading skills also seems to come down to more damage, speed, or some resistance to crowd control while mid-animation.

    The story is terrible. Voice acting probably hurts it more than anything. After about 10 minutes I found myself already skipping every piece of dialogue or cutscene I could. Which, turns out, is not all of them. Lots can't be skipped, I guess they're "too important" to the story to skip.

    Lost Ark has the isometric top-down camera of Path of Exile of Diablo games.

    Interesting character classes, enticing atmosphere, visual attractiveness, satisfying combat – Lost Ark hit the mark on everything one expects from a good action RPG. I could feel my character’s power from the very first step in this interesting, varied world, and saw potential for one of the best Diablo’s cousins in years. It’s a pity that the MMO aspects of Lost Ark forced some compromises and simply get in the way of enjoying the satisfying Diablo-esque side.

    Lost Ark is literally great enough to re-ignite my passion for MMORPGs after 15 years. That’s not a joke, and it’s not something that I’m just saying for the sake of this review. Because of that, I don’t know that I should be reviewing this game so much as I should be thanking it. I’m incredibly happy to have finally found an MMO that I can look forward to playing every day, and, if you’re willing to take my word at all, I think you’ll find that you’ll end up the same way once you sit down with this game for yourself.

    No classic, then, but Smilegate has delivered a big, silly, characterful romp that's best experienced with friends. [Issue#370, p.118]
