    Dont understand the negative reviews here. This game is by far one of the best games ive played in 10 years. Yes there are some server issues, but the combat is really amazing and has dept. Its not just pressing 4 buttons like people say, if that is what you are doing you clearly lack skill.

    Enjoy this game, its amazing.

    Compared to many other MMO games released over the years, this game is diamond.

    Although there was an EU server queue problem. But for that reason, I don't understand people who review this game negatively. Some game stories are good and some are not. However, considering that the genre of this game is MMO, it is not fair to play only 5-10 hours and review this game. From my personal

    Don't let the clowns fool you guys. Once you reach the endgame, this is one of the most enjoyable games ever made. Slaying hordes of monsters is more satisfying than in Diablo and PVE-Content is pretty challenging (maybe too challenging for the kiddos here that give the game 0 because they need to "git gud").

This game is not pay2win... You only progress faster but eventually every player will reach the content they desire over time. PVP does normalize characters to make it more fair -> no p2w.
    Giving this game less than a 5 is just ridiculous and shouldn't even be allowed. Even if you don't like it, objectively this is a solid game you can sink a lot of time in and enjoy the huge amount of content that is given players i.e. Chaos Dungeons, Raids, Hundres of Islands to explore, collectables, Waifus, Booba-Skins and more.
    Obviously this is not a perfect game but I'm still giving it a 10 because of all the clowns with their 0 rating.

    Lost Ark is a game that's been anticipated since 2013? Promising engaging combat in huge cinematic scenery with fundamental MMO elements. It does just that, giving players Zones to organize the overall chaos of seeing dozens of players and NPCs on screen. The plot is incredibly straight forward and easy to follow with some hilarious

    Lost Ark is a game that's been anticipated since 2013? Promising engaging combat in huge cinematic scenery with fundamental MMO elements. It does just that, giving players Zones to organize the overall chaos of seeing dozens of players and NPCs on screen. The plot is incredibly straight forward and easy to follow with some hilarious B-listed voice acting. It's pretty monotonous. Overall though, the game isn't as deep as Path of Exile in terms of builds, it's more of a Brawler MMO than a dungeon crawler and sometimes that's OK- not everything needs to be lifelonging progression. I notice the people complaining are ones that spends dozens of hours a day grinding and build crafting for years at a time, which is an opinion you shouldn't take seriously because if the game doesn't cater to their insurmountable free time, it's deemed garbage. Which is a terribly imbalanced viewpoint. Just try it, it's free and judge for yourself.

    People who have never played are criticizing for p2w. In fact, You can enjoy all the contents for free.
    And the server problem is due to Amazon, not Smilegate.
    I read why there were so many negative reactions, and I completely understood it.
    There are only losers who are angry that people don't like their favorite rpg.

    The game is fun and pretty addictive.

    I think the real fun of this game is raid. The story is like that, but if you endure the story and go on a raid, you can see the real charm of this game. I'm doing that right now.

    The best MMO I've ever played, with amazing graphics and fast gameplay, with lots of action and fun. No other MMO has delivered what Lost Ark did. The 0/10 reviews are from frustrated people, who can't get into the game on launch day because of the queues. The queues are understandable, as it's the second most played game EVER on Steam. 10/10.

    40+ hours in, well worth the 5+ year wait. The game really opens up after level 30+. fun, skillful pvp, fun co-op with friends (4 player co-op, up to 8 for raids). if you loved diablo 2 you'll likely love this. It's everything diablo 3 could have been, but wasn't.

    40+ hours in, well worth the 5+ year wait. The game really opens up after level 30+. fun, skillful pvp, fun co-op with friends (4 player co-op, up to 8 for raids). if you loved diablo 2 you'll likely love this. It's everything diablo 3 could have been, but wasn't.
    The character art is really great, puts D3 to shame honestly, much more fun 8+ skillsets with customization that could go a bit further in terms of being able to make your class feel different, but I think instead of diablo's way of building 3-4 different potential builds into a single class, Smilegate split them up into different sub-classes to push for more alts. I honestly prefer this as it lets them push each sub-class further.
    In regards to NA launch, it was the smoothest mmo launch i've ever experienced, got in instantly on early-access and there was a slight delay on official launch of a couple hours. i haven't experienced any kind of lag, runs buttery smooth on max settings even if I keep my zbrush/maya/browsers streaming vids open in the background. Party system works great, but I wish it would do more to keep parties together when in the same area, but easy enough to swap channels when needed.
    There's a ton of depth to the game, you're not going to learn everything you need to in a day, this isn't your grandma's diablo.
    The dungeons/raids are the shining point of this games PvE. Super fun to go through with friends or solo.
    I haven't really spent too much time yet doing pvp, so i can't comment too much on that yet, but from what I've experienced I'm pretty confident that I'm going to enjoy it a lot.
    I really don't get the hate for this game on launch, I guess NA launch was better than some other regions. This is a hack-n-slasher's dream through and through. If you grew up with diablo 1, 2, and all the other hack-n-slashers of the early 2000's, you're likely going to have a blast with this game. Don't listen to all the child-tantrum 0 reviews, try it out if you're on the fence (it's free after all) and form your own opinion. I feel like a lot of the 0 reviews out there have never played a hack-n-slash in their lives.

    It boasts excellent and beautiful production, and the unique characteristics and stories of each island are interesting. People who suit their tastes are expected to be very immersed and raise their levels. I am very interested in the story of each NPC in this game. And I'm looking forward to the end content.

    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]
