Nov 7, 2024Engaging and approachable, New World: Aeternum mostly nails the modern MMORPG experience with its refined and cohesive game world and intuitive combat system. Crafting and gathering remain a highlight here but all types of players will find this game worthy of its upfront price of admission. That said, those looking for a wide range of high-end raiding content will be better served elsewhere and the game also suffers from an unfocused and muddled art style.

Oct 27, 2024New World Aeternum is a re-imagining of the 2021 game with the goal of releasing it on consoles, having improved story integration with better narrative, controller compatibility, and unique elements like archetypes to make it more accessible. But it remains the expansive MMO with many possibilities to get lost in and invest many hours in its individual, cooperative, and competitive missions

Oct 30, 2024I enjoyed New World: Aeternum as an action RPG with relaxed character-building and challenging content but was never motivated to stick around and grind out an insane amount of hours. This almost feels intentional, with the quickened road to endgame and retooling of the campaign. The game certainly feels more fleshed out than it did three years ago and has settled into being a perfectly decent online game that I can drop into and enjoy in short bursts when the MMO itch comes around.
