    5 hours of queues to play indicates that amazon has learned absolutely nothing from the New World experience.

    Игры нет в Steam, есть только на непопулярном mail, почему я не могу играть на нужной мне площадке ?

    Feels like a mobile game and its very very grindy. Player interaction is next to none, and it feels really unrewarding. Played the Korean version and finished the endgame raid in like 3 tries

    Muy buen juego, pero desde hace semanas AGS no han podido parar a los BOTS, las personas vendiendo RMT o tener los cojos de banear permanente a este tipo de personas que causan daño a la economía del juego. Es increible a la 2da semana de valtan ya exista gente con armas +25 reliquias y con un nivel de fortaleza o elenco que da mucha risa. Lo mismo paso con New World.

    Installiert und die Server sind down. Am nächsten Tag versucht, wieder nicht online. Die nächsten zwei Tage versucht uuuund deinstalliert. Never play on a patch day? Der Spruch ist veraltet. Never play on a patch week or month or even worse. Da ich es nicht testen kann, gibts die 0 Punkte.

    Extreme Wartelisten bevor man einloggen kann. Von 40 Stunden Spielzeit konnte ich nur 8 tatsächlich spielen. Der Rest war in der Warteschleife. Macht keinen Spaß!
    Und es wird von Tag zu Tag schlimmer. Jetzt bekommt man nicht mal mehr die Serverauswahlseite angezeigt und das Spiel beendet sich selbst. Ich könnte mir in den .... beißen dafür gezahlt zu haben. Zurück gibts das Geld auch

    Amazon is not giving a crap about EU players, out of 56 hours of game time I queued for 30+ hours and played less than 26... And after a 8 hours of queue disconnects me for server errors.
    Literally unplayable.
    Please do not buy, and do not download till they fix the servers, because the game does not exists till then.

    I feel like this game was talked about as one of the best MMORPGs without having good fundamentals, the gameplay and graphics are good, but I've seen them before, the skills have very exaggerated cinematics, when in reality you do little damage and so you don't feel the skill progression. It has a very simple story

    The game is great fun when you can actually log in and play it. This, however, has been near impossible, even during the three-day headstart.

    The game is great fun when you can actually log in and play it. This, however, has been near impossible, even during the three-day headstart.

    First off, the queues amount in the thousands of players - you could pretty reliably calculate one hour in the queue for every 3000 in front of you. This was a problem on both day one and two of the headstart.

    On day three, someone had the amazing idea to introduce some patching/downtime in the EU primetime from 2 PM to 6 PM, where the headstart ended.

    This in turn led to 8+ hours of additional downtime for every player, headstart or not.

    I should add that this game is not new - it is running successfully in other regions and have been doing so for years.

    Each server in the EU region is now so full that you sit in queues for 6+ hours just to get in - and even then, you risk getting kicked from the queues due to bugs and have to start over again.

    And don't get me started on the founder pack items or characters not being transferable to newer servers with less players to alleviate some of this.

    I would easily give the game a 7-8 score even with the limited amount of playtime and content I've experienced, but as it stands, it is (literally) unplayable.

    Holy crap. First they delay the launch and I couldnt play despite buying a founder pack, now I get 10k people in queue. Should I leave my pc on in the morning so I can play after work? It's a joke. 2 days in a row I couldnt play. If it doesnt get better tomorrow then screw it, I;m outta here.

    It's a fun battle system, but other than that, it's a boring story and a repetitive Korean girndFest game.

    Combat animations and the basic fundamentals are good to great. The Issue is there's zero depth at all to the combat. Just don't get animation locked in the red indicators and that's it.

    'The best game for 5 year old child'

    Graphics are great, but the game's UI is messy and the story is childish.

    Region-lock, gender-lock, F2P-lock, server-lock. Welcome to LOCK ARK!
    In all seriousness this game art direction is so bad, it looks pretty but missing that substance.
    Characters are very disproportionate and animation looks like from 2000 era.
    Everything about the story and music is overhyped just because there are big monsters.

    This game is just a P2W grind with almost no creativity, and full of censorship, despite they would sell with Female character, therefore lacking bikini/bikini armors. I cannot tolerate the goons who is shilling this trash to be equal with western games.

    If you like JRPGS, this game is for you. If you were expecting maybe something between Path of Exile / WoW - dont bother installing this game.
    It looks very, very bad. Cutsenes and some effects are pretty, but after 1 pretty moment, era of gaming from 1980 hits you in the face. I am purposely lowering the score for balancing reviews.
    If you like TERA online, go for it. If not, stay on

    AGS manages to screw up yet again.
    Only, this time, they are royally hurting an ok game.
    AGS has been known for their incompetence for years. Why did it have to be them to pick up Lost ARK.
    Why... oh god why

    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]
