    It's well polished and gorgeous to look at. There are some very fun moments, especially in solo dungeons. But the leveling and overall progression feels hollow and unrewarding. I never died once from level 1 to 30 ish and gear seems to be the exact same thing over and over with slightly increased stats.

    2. Can form a static group to do said content with each week.
    3. Are addicted to making alts in the games you play.
    4. Have lots of time to spend playing to grind for equipment enhancement/honing materials, or are willing to spend real money for them.

    If the first two of those four things in particular do not match up with you, or what you want from the games you play, it can impact your enjoyment so significantly, it would be best to not even bother downloading the game. Honestly, in many ways this kinda felt like an isometric version of Blade & Soul, as both are built around difficult mechanics heavy weekly group content, with dull daily grind content, and have a toxic elitist player base.

    In regards to number one, they have mechanics during fights where you stop fighting, to execute a mini-game, like a typing test, or leading a thing, to another thing, under certain conditions. These sort of "mechanics" mostly come up in the later weekly content, and to an increasing degree with each new piece of such content they add.

    .

    .

    Some added notes:
    A. The game could really use some form of solo training tool for its weekly raid/dungeon content, as it can do a poor job of relaying how you should handle mechanics. This is why there's so many detailed guides on how to do things, but really the game should be teaching people how to play, it's not the community's job to do that. This is also why you need a static group to do that content with, it just gets more demanding over time, complete with raid wipe mechanics if even one person made a mistake, so what should be a twenty minute piece of content, instead can take hours to complete with teams of random players.

    B. Because of how mechanics heavy things are, explaining things can take a lot of time, so people don't want to do that, and just expect others to know how to do everything. As a result, it's not long after new content is added before about all you see in the party finder is people looking to do fast runs with experienced players, or just selling the service of AFK carrying people through content, as many try doing that as their way of getting loot from them.

    C. If you think you can power up your character, then face roll everything, you're very wrong. There are plenty of mechanics that will kill you, and maybe even the whole raid if even one person screws up, no matter how geared people are.

    D. Most every active player at the time this was written has at least one character with a gear score of at least 1415. Due to this there's a fair amount of content below that which is basically dead now, particularly guardian raids, field/world bosses, chaos gates, and ghost ships. Except for guardian raids, they do not scale with the number of people there, so you just can't expect to do them solo, and can be wasting your time even trying. Some higher level people will do the lower weekly dungeons for a chance at card drops, which results in you just chasing them around as they insta kill everything, even bosses. Then a lot of the people queuing up for the sub 1415 guardian raids these days, honestly suck, and tend to be rather under geared. End result is your experience in multiplayer content below 1415 can be pretty poor, meaning you'll be playing mostly solo for a long time.

    E. The daily resource grind content, gets really boring/annoying, pretty quickly, and there's a fair number of things seemingly added solely to waste time.

    F. If you're more of a solo player, don't bother. While the daily grind content is a mostly solo experience, the weekly raid content can only be even attempted with a group. There is just no recurring solo content that will be able to keep your attention, or is worth working towards.

    G. The standard equipment upgrade system has a type of pity system, so if you fail enough times, it will just give you the upgrade. Basically if you stick with it, you can have your entire account stuffed full of characters with their equipment at a high, to max upgrade level.

    H. A good chunk of the player base is pretty toxic, and elitist, or just want to be carried through everything, and can't be bothered to look things up on their own before hand, as they expect people to explain mechanics to them, and so on.    … Expand

I also found myself always using one combo most of the time, even though I tried to change it. Progression is just meh, with the equipment increasing the same stats all the time and nothing else. You basically level up just so you can kill stronger monsters so you can do it all over again. Story is generic, not much to say. You just materialize in this world and all of a sudden you are tasked with the mission to save the world. There is some kind of backstory to your character, but it feels like it's there for sake of it being there. Most of the quests are straight up unnecessary, with you having to talk to several people before you get to see some action. The only thing I found interesting are the songs your character performs for teleporting and other things.… Expand

    i could go on for hours how bad an akward the characters and the story are, but i think i made my point.
    Lets go to the gameplay: Well, you have a nice set of very different classes and a s*itload of nice different named skills, and spells etc.
    BUT they all do the same. just exploding and flashing while doing ae-damage to hordes of nameless, faceless, purposeless enemies while you literally cant die, as long as you have your keyboard plugged into your pc.. why tf would they even implemented cooldows and "mana" when you dont have to manage that anyway. Just smash the buttons like you feel and switch your brain off. There is not even one single spell/skill that buffs another action or does anything to make a difference to this endless stupidity. Its like a cellphone game.
    But hey, you can fine-tune the s*it out of the face of your character before you start the game. Makes sense in an iso-view game with fixed camera perspective, lol. And dont get me started with that point/click movement.
    I score it 5/10 bc, it is indeed some fun every now and then to just smash in stupid hack/slay style through some stuff    … Expand

    **combat is a mess of random skills and dodging. The “mechanics” are all super avoidable and uninteresting, and there is nearly no challenge even at end game…you literally have to try to die if you wanted to**

    Even with this, it was entertaining enough, but I paused to realize the “combat” is maybe 5% of the game.

    I have four level 50 characters, and you honestly spend the majority of your time sailing around on your boat to small islands full of mindless story quests like: “kill 10 rats” just to collect the materials to boost your items to overcome whatever ridiculous gate you have placed on your character. Once you hit the arbitrary ilevel, you unlock some more story quests in which you ride your mount from point A, to point B, and press your “G” key to ignore them. All until you find yourself in the same position again—grindfest.

    The “raid” and various “dungeon” content lasts around 10 minutes each, and you are back to sailing around for rat killing.

    There are a lot of positives about the game, but I definitely cant’t suggest it if you are a traditional aarpg lover. This is an mmo, and an extremely grindy one.

    Don’t let the flashy character skills and combat persuade you…it’s very rare in this free to play, let down. 5/10. Could be an 8 with some actual decent combat and less grind.    … Expand

    Feels like a mobile game for PC. Retail on steroids, everything is super streamlined and arcady, loot and something to click around every corner, immersion doesnt exist, and most of all not really multiplayer. I hate its guts.

    If you are used to MMO with proper rotations in depth mechanisms, you just pass on Lost Ark.
    The combats are especially messy, and it is targeted to Asian audience, who loves grinding. Anything to do in Lost Ark takes forever, and you spend more time waiting than playing (shipping from island to island). There is no real story, and I skipped every single dialogue in this game.

    This is a tough game to rate.

    Visuals:
    The game looks great. It runs smoothly because of its isometric camera angle, and animations are clean and responsive looking.
    The armor is a bit of a low point, a lot of quite frankly looks like trash, and you're stuck with the armor for extended periods of time while you upgrade your gear.
    The character models are pretty nice, but it's a little annoying that some features are locked behind classes. For example the mage archetype is only playable by females and is also the only archetype that can be a sylvain (elf). Everyone else is is stuck as a human.

    Story:
    The game really is lacking here, but I'm sure that's not a surprise to anyone that played it.
    It feels like your player character is a side character for the first 50 levels, and the characters that the story focuses on are really bland and boring. There are a couple good points here and there, and it definitely feels like you become more important later, but it's really hard to follow the story sometimes.
    The voice acting can be hit or miss and more often than not it's a miss.

    Gameplay:
    This is what gave me the most trouble. It's tough to rate this game because the good in this game is really good, and the bad parts of this game really put me off of it. I'll section this part off into pros and cons because there's a lot more to unpack here than the other sections.

    Pros:
    -The combat is very responsive, a lot of fun, and feels generally balanced.
    -There's a lot of small activities you can do in this game in terms of collectibles that can be a lot of fun to just chill and do instead of raiding.
    -The actual pve content such as abyssal dungeons and trial guardians are a lot of fun, and can offer a real challenge to players.
    -The pvp content is a lot of fun, and it feels like each class is able to hold its own. And as an added bonus it's all scaled so whales can't just pay for advantages.
    -I never really felt like I needed to or even wanted pay for anything, but I also stopped playing before I hit that point.

    Cons:
    -The gearing is a MASSIVE chore, even at lower item levels the chance based upgrade system can be incredibly irritating, and I've heard at later levels it just gets worse and worse.
    -There's caps on how much you can do daily/weekly once you start unlocking actual content. You can run chaos dungeons infinitely but only the first two times you run it during the day give you any real items. Abyssal dungeons you just straight up get locked out of once you've done them during the week.
    -It feels like the game doesn't want you to play one character, you're not 'forced' to make alts, but encouraged to so that you can juice your main character with upgrade materials.
    -You're heavily 'encouraged' to log in daily to do these menial tasks just so you can upgrade your gear.
    -The pve content is locked behind story, and story is locked behind item level, so in order to progress anywhere you have to do your dailies and grind out your gear upgrades.
    -There are for sure pay to win elements in this game. Some people might dispute this since there is a ceiling on it, but regardless you are able to swipe your credit card and gain an advantage over other players that don't pay.

    TLDR;
    Great looking and feeling game, with some really interesting pve and pvp, but the end game is incredibly repetitive and can be frustrating at times.
    It's free so I'd say you can easily get some enjoyment out of this like I did, but if you're looking for an mmo to play long term I'd say keep looking, unless you enjoy doing dailies.
    It's a shame because there really is a lot of good stuff in this game... It's just marred by anti-player systems.    … Expand

    While it may be popular in South Korea, not everyone is a fan of the anime style characters. I don't find it appalling, but the graphics aren't awful for the art style it employs. And the story isn't complicated or stunning, but it goes quickly with great looking dungeons.

The sailing is kind of ok. The sand box (build your manor something) isn't that great. I find it quite useless and very slow. The fighting and specials powers are a blast. Very easy to pickup. The control with the gamepad was odd at first. I got used to it but, you still need a keyboard/mouse. The graphics are good. I give it 80%. It's a pretty deep MMORPG with some little flaws.

    Update 2: I did some multiplayer. I think the invite party doesn't work that well, but the matchmaking is extremely efficient. I find some odd decision tho, like putting a story element into a multiplayer level. Not especially smart, as it isolate a player while the other are going further the road. The sailing paths are also very basic and goes straight into danger. I have hit a big wall at 1000 level items. You have to go to 1100 to see the end of the plot, but the item honings fails so often, that you have no choice of grinding into the sub systems. Compound the fact that the boss have complex mechanics you have to learn, that make most of multiplayer toxic and difficult to learn. I have read it's even worst to get to 1320 level and tier 3 items. So, I am downgrading my review to 65%. It's not the worst of the free MMORPG, at least I was able to play for a long time.

Y hay que destacar que los enemigos muy raramente se reutilizan y las clases de personajes que puedes jugar se sienten razonablemente distintas entre sí.

    Gráficamente el juego cumple bien, pero hay que destacar de modo especial el buen trabajo de diseño en los escenarios, con algunos de ellos siendo realmente espectaculares. El sonido tiene un nivel bastante medio, su música siendo un punto flojo y un doblaje que no cubre todas las líneas de diálogo del juego. Y, aún después del desastroso lanzamiento, sigue habiendo bugs y problemas, cierto que más ocasionales, pero sigue habiéndolos. Por no mencionar que el optimizado es flojo, con zonas que tardan en cargar.

Instead they tried to build a huge game in a small space of time and then filled it up with boring crap. Like you'll have a really good quest, then when thats over you will then have 5 to 10 quests where you gotta collect an item, destroy 3 ..... , kill 5 ..... , etc... Then after 20 to 30 minutes of boring quests you will get another good one. As you can imagine this gets boring extremely quickly.
    The combat isn't bad. I haven't worked out the point in mana thou but it mite just be because I haven't progressed far enough. Although I did play this game quite a fair bit over the space of a week. No matter how many spells I cast I don't even use half my mana bar. By the time my spells recharge then my mana fills back up to 100%. Maybe you upgrade certain spells so they use more because I have unlocked almost all the spells in the game.
    Its not bad having no camera movement as of course the game was built around this bit I wish you could move it around at times. Plus the zoom feels weird aswell.
    Micro-transctions are basically robbery and extremely over priced.
    Loot is bare bones and isn't done well. Everything was the exact same accept different stats. Why not have perks with certain loot like this staff increases damage with fire spells or something?
    Lack of player freedom. After I get past all the tutorial part of the game (When you unlock multiplayer) I should be able to do what the hell I want.
    Everything is locked behind a level and a quest. You're treating the players as if they are dumb or something. Let me learn for myself. If i stroll into a dungeon and get my face stomped into a curb because everything is to high level then I won't go in that dungeon again for a bit but then I know there is likely some good high level items in there for later on. Everything in this game takes ages because its locked behind the story. The hole point in MMO's is player freedom. You explore places and find awesome stuff. This game doesn't do that. It's extremely linear. It tells the player everything rather than you finding it for yourself.
    There wasn't much I could do with friends. We couldn't run quests together or dungeons. If we were at different points in the game then we couldn't play together.
    I see exactly what they have done. It's like those mobile games where everything is fun at 1st than you hit that point where everything is at a boring standstill unless you spend money more money. The devs don't care about this game at all. Rather than thinking, how can we make a good product that the community will enjoy and want to invest in.

    SKIP SKIP SKIP G, G, G, Exp->Mapa ( repetir * 40hrs) = LOST ARK
    A ver el juego visualmente esta bonito.
    yo he jugado muchoooooos MMORPG y entiendo que este tiene bastante contenido y cosas que hacer y literalmente es un tutorial del 1 al lvl 50. PERO NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA: 1-Los que buscan un juego para jugar con amigos: aquí literalmente es para frikis solo player. de las 41hrs no    SKIP SKIP SKIP G, G, G, Exp->Mapa ( repetir * 40hrs) = LOST ARK

    PERO NO LO RECOMIENDO PARA:
    1-Los que buscan un juego para jugar con amigos: aquí literalmente es para frikis solo player. de las 41hrs no encuentro contenido para jugar con mis amigos. matar enemigos te da 1 de EXP. a lo mejor para completar tomos del aventurero pero aun así no hay dungeons mas que los que te van abriendo del quest.... estoy esperando el lvl50 para ver si puedo jugar los dungeons con mis amigos... pero me estoy cansando de tanto quest.
    2- Los que no disfrutan historias lineales: A ver yo la verdad solo que son 7 arcas lo demás me lo voy SKIP SKIP SKIP G G G G G dame mi EXP Nuevo mapa y repetitivamente lo mismo hasta asumo que llegar al lvl 50.
    3- hasta el momento el juego me ha presentado 0 dificultad todo se pasa rapido y sin mucha complicacion ( entiendo que porque no estoy en el endgame que seguro comienza lo hardcore.
    4- Si nunca has jugado un MMORPG, no te recomiendo este juego es un nuevo estilo al genero a lo que tradicionalmente es.

    LO RECOMIENDO PARA:
    1- SOLO PLAYERS, si tienes tiempo de sobra sin mujer e hijos ni trabajo muy bien. pero los que tenemos 2-3 horas al día para jugar meh.
    2- Si te gusta "Diablo, Path of exile" etc etc te va gustar.

    Dato curioso: Si ven los Achievements apenas el 1% ha llegado al lvl 10 en tala y pesca ( cosa que hice en un par de horas...). asi que ahorita es puro hype.

    Aspectos positivos:
    Extrañamente me gusta el sistema de farming lo han echo genial dan ganas de pasar leveliando las skills de Tala, Mineria, Caceria, Runas etc.
    Aspecto negativo:
    Nuevamente el echo que tus primeras 50 horas no las vas a jugar con amigos y si es un MMO pero solo ves players haciendo los mismos quest en el server pero nada relevante mas que uno que otro random boss de algún mapa cercano.

    llego al endgame y veo si cambio mi review....pero bueno es lo que pienso.    … Expand

    After playing it for around 600+ hours I can say that I can't recommend the game to anyone.
    Combat is really good, every character feels good to play.
    Grinding is the worst and wont be fixed ever together with honing which is upgrading your equipment. It would take you 16 hrs per day with 8 char so that you can have a chance to succeed in a upgrade cause since it's a korean mmo and the    After playing it for around 600+ hours I can say that I can't recommend the game to anyone.

    Review con polemica . El juego es una pasada si te gusta el genero pero manejaron tan mal el lanzamiento con el tema de los servers que me veo obligado a bajarle un poco la nota.

    Graficamente es muy bonito, me encanta los detalles en los jefes y lo bien definido de cada personaje con los que me tope en la historia. Lo que si es que almenos me pasa con la clase que uso, que veo que todas las espadas que voy encontrando son basicamente la misma (hablando de su forma) y eso aveces le baja un punto, haber pordrian ponerse y hacer 1000 diseños de espadas, que tampoco se pide la gran cosa.
    A nivel gameplay creo que esta muy bien, bien organizado aunque tienes que aprender a jugar y aveces es complicado es completamente entendible y no es dificil realmente. Me encanta tambien que cada enemigo tenga sus ataques y caracteristicas, ni hablar de los jefes que cambian sus patrones a medida que van perdiendo vida, realmente una pasada. Este es el lugar donde mas desarrollare por que hay que tocar muchos puntos como los anteriores que me parecen los mas primordiales, tambien cabe destacar que solo use la clase Berseker (con espada) y que quedan otras tantas por probar y ver, sin contar las builds que se pueden armar y demas. Realmente es un juego muy interesante y que cada jugador puede moldear a su gusto. Los dungeon, me gustaron mucho la verdad, tanto los del modo historia como los secretos (no recuerdo el nombre que le dan en el juego) y recomiendo hacerlos en dificil, no en normal, si son complicados aveces pero la recompensa es bastante buena siempre. Para cerrar la parte de gameplay veo que muchos se quejan del grindeo, y bueno es un MMO si no te gusta grindear creo que te equivocaste de genero no?
    En cuanto a optimizacion creo que esta bastante bien, el juego es fluido y no hay practicamente lag, lo cual se agradece muchisimo en estos juegos (eso que mi Internet es 3er mundista) aunque si se toma algo de tiempo en entrar al juego lo cual se soluciona iniciando y haciendo algo mientras carga (ir a el baño, llenar el vaso con coca o algo asi) tampoco es que tarde media hora pero aveces se toma unos minutos.

    En conclusión, creo que es un buen juego y aun teniendo una PC no tan buena si les gustan los MMO tendrian que darle a este una oportunidad, es gratis y a mi almenos me gusto mucho.    … Expand

    It's really repetitive hahah and although the playstyle is pretty interesting it doesn't really give a sense of interaction much.

    Lost Ark has too many aggressive methods to make you stay in the game and/or spend money in the game. Every system integrated are based around consuming these two from you.

Every system integrated are based around consuming these two from you. Game is incredibly abrasive when it comes to your time. You will find the most loyal players call LA "alt-friendly", however it is in actuality "alt-mandatory". At this point in the game there is no way to realistically reach the hardest content in the game within reasonable time unless you have several characters that you must farm daily/weekly with to feed your "main", or if you spend real money.

    The hardest content in the game is what makes the MMO part of the game amazing. This alone almost makes it worth sinking your life into depravity for. Unfortunately this part of the game, which is the most fun, is weekly content; which means the rest of the week your main content is being a farm-bot.

    If you are a new player looking to start today then keep in mind that it will take some time before you reach what the community generally perceive as fun, good and relevant. To put things into perspective for you, I have invested at least 1-2 hours farming the daily content since a week after launch. I am still at least a week behind before being able to do Valtan Hardmode (newest content at this time).

    The game will occasionally give you items (powerpass) that will speed you through the processes of reaching end game. However, as for today there is nothing in place for new players to progress faster. With that in mind if you start today, do not expect to reach late end-game before a month at the very earliest, and that being extremely generous.

    This is the worst time for new players to start the game and in all likeliness the progress you would do now would be diminished by the fact of a buff/boost is imminent to come likely in mid or late July.    … Expand

    Got this game recommended as a replacement for Diablo 4. As in progression, it is miles better than Diablo4, but that's pretty low of a bar to cross. The pay to progress aspect is so strong in this game, I wouldn't recommend any one in the right mind play this game. You will be constantly stressed and given a way out by the cash shop they flash constantly flash at you. Some vids notesGot this game recommended as a replacement for Diablo 4.

Some vids notes people claiming to spend up to 100k or more in this game which seems possible with how they try to mask how much they are actually spending to upgrade gears. How is ARPG this bad in 2023?… Expand

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    Jogo bonito, muitas coisas para fazer, jogabilidade incrível (na minha opinião a melhor dos MMO's atuais), porém com muita microtransação e "moedas"do jogo que poderiam ser substituidas facilmente por outras já existentes.

    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]
