    Hot flaming garbage.
    Original hardcore full loot pvp vision was nice and good.

    But then AGS realized it would not bring in the MOST POSSIBLE AMOUNT OF CASH
    and changed everything, literally. Now noone is happy (neither the original hardcore pvper, nor the pvers, nor the crafters, noone)

    STAY AWAY
    DONT BUY
    IF YOU CAN REFUND ASAP

Your character willThis game is massively overhyped. The worst part of it is the clunky and erratic combat system. How people can say its smooth have obviously never played ESO or Guild Wars 2. Mobs occasionally 'teleport' around you, almost like their dodge/attack animation is glitchy which makes it frustrating to land hits especially when using more precise weapons like the rapier. Your character will also occasionally do the same when attacking, enough to be noticeable. Some people will say oh it because of high latency. This is nonsense because other games I play like the aforementioned I don't have these issues. When moving, your character also seems occasionally 'stutter' around/over the terrain. This is the most basic component of any action type RPG/MMO that should be waxed before anything else in the game is focused on. I switched between New World, ESO and Guild Wars 2 and both latter games have smooth, realistic and much more satisfying combat. New World sadly to say feels like the combat is still in development and this is the deal breaker for me.

    The visuals are ok but are lacking for a MMO released in 2021. The only way I can describe it is that the objects in game seem 'blurry' and lack that sharpness we see in other games like I mentioned earlier. The only really nice thing about the visuals is the UI. I have a very high end gaming PC which I recently even overclocked and ran through a myriad of performance fine tunes from you tube videos to try get better FPS but sadly it seems New World is poorly optimized I don't see any improvements at all.

    It is sad because although I like PvE as much as the next person, PvP is what keeps me coming back to a game and this game is designed first and foremost with PvP in mind. I won't even bother to grind to the point where I am feel I am ready to flag myself and try out the PvP as the general mechanics of the game are broken. Even when you switch between running and walking your character will stutter.

    Also lacking is character creation options. Its just not enough. The only things you can change are body type (male or female), hair style and color and skin tone. There are like a handful of badly designed tattoos thrown in to the mix to add more 'depth.' You cannot change the height, weight, or any advanced face options. You expect this from a game launched in 2005 not in 2021.

    The idea behind this game was good, but just very poorly executed. Honestly I want a refund. With the financial clout Amazon games has, this is shockingly bad.    … Expand

    This game is unfinished and lacks PVE end game content. This is a rock, paper, scissors clone of guild wars 2 and lacks innovation. Players will be done with this game in 3 to 6 months.

    Now, because they refuse to watch the gamelog, which would show this is a case of two people making a minor one time trade and then writing each other about their confusion. They decided to lump her into the group of exploiters who make economy crashing amounts of currency as a continuous strategy.

The cash shop skins are 100% bait to get people to spend hard earn money to cover up their ugly characters. Shame on you for luring people who loves MMORPG with nostalgia on such low quality game. Should be renamed to Queue World because that is the only playable content so far.

    Also, the game is full off ridiculous censorship. Can't even joke with friends. Someone can report you for saying F word, and you will receive a 24 hours ban.

    Great graphics, fun combat, some room for improvement in the enemy variety and A.I. but bear in mind, the game has been out about a week. The gathering and crafting is incredibly addictive. The PvP is a BLAST. The ability to truly build your own character is second to none in the MMO market. A bit lacking in endgame content from what I've heard (that's what you get for racing to endgame in a new MMO...) and the leveling content is a bit too repetitive. While this is a drawback, it's hardly noticeable if you let yourself explore, gather, craft, fight over territory in PvP and spend time making some friends.

    Not the greatest game of all time, definitely the best looking MMO since FF14 1.0, best combat in an MMO for sure (unless you like Korean MMOs in which case you may prefer BDO). If you've ever played Albion, this is a lot like a beautiful, improved and more fun version of that, played from a 3rd person perspective rather than isometric.

    Several months later: This game sucks, every update breaks stuff, the economy is ruined, the crafting is pointless, the gathering is ruined (thank you bots and thank you AGS for not caring at all)... This game is awful. I did get about 80 hours out of it, but it's an MMO. I don't feel like I got 80 hours of fun for $40, I feel like I wasted 80 hours *and* $40.

    1/10, horrible awful game with great graphics and amazing sound design. An absolute joke. AGS should never, ever make another game. Ever.    … Expand

The world is designed around PVP, the servers are capped but they cannot handle the populations they intended now you have thousands of people who have put work in unable to access their characters. Players keep remaking their characters only for a streamer to come to that low pop server and completely destroy the game for them.

    When it comes to combat mechanics, combat can be super fun when you start learning how to string animations together. It will certainly not be for everyone. It has a high skill ceiling for sure. Crafting plays a huge part of the world and it is worth your time to gather. The resources are so plentiful it feels like filler to replace the fact that there the story was clearly an afterthought in this "MMO". There is PVE Content, after the community outcries "inspired" them to make a PVE end game, its not great but its there.

    The faction system is entirely impossible to balance. Soon as 1 faction takes over its pretty much over. If that faction brings an army of streamer simps, youre better off re-rolling.

    Travel time is long and boring. There are no mounts, there is only a "click here to fast travel" network. Kind of defeats the purpose of an MMO. the world sure feels small when you blink everywhere.

    Weapon balance - there isn't any, its a joke end of story.

In fact I was really excited to try a new modern MMO. Surely with the budget that Amazon has and decades of watching other MMO's succeed and fail to learn from, this game should really advance the genre and add a bunch of new exciting features and gameplay mechanics. The answer is a solid no....it does none of that .

    New World is an empty shell of a game built by a committee fueled by hype and advertising and nothing more.

    Graphics- People always talk about how good this game looks, and as a 40 year old pc gaming veteran i can tell you its just ugly. Its a case of sprinkling glitter on a turd. Sadly i think that works for most people.
    The textures are boring ,blurry and low res. the poly models are decent at best and the environments are uninspired with zero diversity . I hope you like looking at forests for 300 hours. In all honesty it looks like an XBOX 360 game but with modern lighting and effects , and i think those lighting and effects tricks are what fool people into thinking the game looks good when it doesnt.

    Animations - The animations are maybe the worst offender here. They are so amature and laughably bad. Why does my character look like she is running at 30 miles and hour but only moving 7 miles and hour ? This is some loony toons level of nonsense. Jumping animations are terrible, combat animations are stiff and horrible , no swimming animations. I guess they just gave up at that point. Its all just Terrible.

    Music - Music is good.

    Story and Questing - This is more or less just non existent . So there isn't really any thing to say about it . If you like Extremely repetitive fetch quests and kill X and bring back X amount of something then you will love it . I think for most. Its another fail. Zero innovation here, and extremely boring.

    Combat - I dont even know what to say , Its just a floaty , un-impactful ,boring mess. Especially as a caster.

    PVP - Here we go something the game is good at finally right ? No. Its broken, and is plagued with exploits.

    Crafting - you know .... crafting is decent. Not groundbreaking or innovative. Just par for the course for a game like this .

    This game is terrible. I would have given it a lower score than a 3 but because of the fact that its a 40 dollar budget title with no sub, i felt i should at least give it a higher score. At the end of the day though i think for what you get 40 is still a bit steep when there are games out there that are much better for much cheaper or free. Wait for a massive sale this game will eventually have to have to retain some player base or just avoid it all together . Maybe in a year or two They can turn this broken mess of an application into something worth playing.    … Expand

Very little variety of mobs. Very little variety of quests. Very limited story. Other than looks it has nothing to recommend it. If the game had been made by a less woke and more experienced game making company the idea may have turned into something decent. Amazon should stick to delivering products to consumers and especially it's Kindle books. Books are it's roots and what it is good at if it keeps it's political views out of it. Consumer items to deliver is an extension of the expertise delivering books prior to Kindle. Gaming is a whole different business and their corporate business folks know nothing about how to do that well and don't seem to care. All they care about is extracting money and pushing far left politics.    … Expand

    -Dungeon you are given 3 keys per dungeon one via the main quest, which makes you want to open your veins and the other two via sidequest or farm the faults on the world map to farm resources and craft them.
    Level contained in the dungeons the void 10 see 15 min grand max, let's not talk about bosses a big joke.

    -PVP 50 with random selection of registered players except if a guild and tag it can kick registered players and choose its members.

    -The skills amazon did not look very far 3 skills max, two talent trees per weapon if you want a perfect build out of the ordinary forget everyone is playing the same thing.

    -Server bah that lag the servers are in total pick-up.
    Have you just purchased the game and your friends are on a locked server for new players? too bad you're going to have to play a solo mmo on your own, isn't it cool?

    -Bestiaire everything is similar even their attacks by their damage a bear that you will kill quite easily bah the second goes oneshoot limit ...
    -vocal system in play the worst system ever you enter a city either you go between a guy telling this thrilling life or hear the children crying you can turn it off and I highly recommend you.
    -Chat ingame you want by to a person next to you impossible there is no chat / say so everyone sees what you are saying.
    Or his flood as not possible and insults them from everywhere for nothing cat cancer ...

    I expected a lot from new world but frankly it should have stayed in beta and listened to the players a little more

    New World is fun for about your first ten hours as you gain new abilities and start to discover the world. However, you quickly realize that they are hiding a lack of content by sending you out on quests that both have a faraway goal and a faraway turn in point. Combat also quickly devolves to using the same rotation for all of the enemies.

I played Korean Grinders 15 years ago that had more soul. This is what happens when you let Amazon execs make an MMO based on what they games they see their kids playing. It is a soulless corporate cash grab.

    -Worst questing and PvE of any MMO I have ever played. It has 2 types of quests. Collect the shining object, and kill X mobs. That is it. It would be bearable if you didn't have to take 10-15 minutes walking to the quest, do the utterly horrid quest, and then walk 10 minutes back to the hub, and across the entire map again to the next quest. It feels bad.

    -Worst mob variety I have ever seen. There is a wolf, a zombie, a zombie with a gun, and a host. You have now fought every mob in the game.

    -Horrid, clunky, trash combat system. Weapon combinations are gated to stats, so there are only a few combinations. Most skills are trash, so you are gated into the same three skills, with the same 2 weapon builds.

    -PvP is gated by who wants to let you join, and is a zerg fest. Fun for one fight, then a tedious bore.

    -Dungeons are trash, with the same 3 mobs you find in the outside world.

    -Banks and trading houses are glued to every single city.

    -Fast travel costs a rarish currency.

    Avoid this game at all costs. It will be dead in a month. I want a refund but Bezos and steam are in bed with each other and denying refunds for waiting 30 hours in a queue. Pathetic.    … Expand

    I didn't bother too much with the crafting system. But I feel like this is going to end up VERY messy. There's a lot of crafting involved and it takes time - again just another survival game that wants you to show how original it is. The skill system is okay, it's a different method compared to other MMOs. I can't really say what I'd prefer.

    But I can honestly say: this game just lacks a certain something. While the graphics do a fine job (I played on high settings) I'm missing that certain kind of love..or detail. It's kind of bland. The same for quests. Just boring.

    I didn't expect to instantly fall in love, MMOs often start very unpolished and implement many new features over the course of time, but I'm not even a bit infatuated. I think the base game is just not really appealing.
    Before I left I checked the ingame store - juicy prices.
    And given that this is amazon - the reason why I didn't preorder the game - I'm a bit biased of this is going to turn out.

    It's something new, it's okay but certainly not what I expected. Overall I didn't enjoy my time here. Maybe in another year or so I'll have a look again.

    In short the game is shallow, boring and unenjoyable.

    Lets put New World into comparison with WoW when it was released ~17 years ago.

    Lets put New World into comparison with WoW when it was released ~17 years ago. WoW came with 14 playable races, 6 classes with each having around 30-45 abilities (Not counting the talent tree active abilities). Meanwhile New World is released with 1 race, 6 weapons (what you could count as classes) what each comes with ~ 6 abilities. So basically in 2004 they released MMORPG with ~180 abilities and in 2021 they release game with 36 abilities in total.

    One could argue that more abilities doesn't nececeraly mean better game. In League of Legends (Ofc it is not a MMORPG) each character come with 4 abilities and still it is one of the most popular games. So you can see game doesn't need 36 abilities per character, but what it need is to abilities make game enjoyable and New World fails.

    There are few things that New World gets right- There is no timegating, no layering or instancing in zones. You actually have to aim with bows. You are stuck with one server, means people you see are there "forever" (obviously they can quit or buy server transfer). But these few thing aren't enough to outweigh something like boring gameplay or missing endgame. And these are big problems. More you play more you notice smaller problems like missing images, generic monsters that you see even after playing 100 hours.

    And as you play more you start to also see major flaws in concept. LIke if you joined later and you server is mostly done with leveling part it is hard to find players for dungeons. Because there is no need for alts, new players are more scarce and when there ain't much of a new players means there is lack of your level players to play with. Most people are running with PVP mode off, means you aren't going to get spontaneous PVP action in the world. Markets item prices are at minimum, because everyone can craft everything and those why most of the items lose their value.

    Fallout 76 was criticized for having no NPC. New World NPC's aren't anything special either. They act as just static points on map that just give you quests. Fallout 76 story was all on audiotapes and voiceacted, while New World story is in text. Fallout 76 had atleast one friendly NPC (wandering super mutant) that actually interacted with it's surrounding by attacking enemies. Meanwhile New World NPC's do nothing. Yet Fallout 76 called crap because of missing NPC, while New World, that has even worse NPC, get called "A good game".    … Expand

    The bad

    - Lackluster customization. Couple of haircuts, couple of skin colors, couple of beards and thats it.
    - The game tries to by everything but it is nothing. You cannot call it an MMO since thereare max two thousand ppl on the server, and when there is that many ppl the whole quest design breaks. There are literally thirty people stealings mobs from each other that you need to finish a quest. You can spend hours doing simple fetch quest because of that.
    - The " quest design" if you can call it that is copy pasted across the whole map.
    - The server issues. Imagine you were playing slightly bigger battlefield. But your progression is tied to a single server, where there are 2000 ppl in queue.
    - The "AI" is dumb as it can get. It will often get stuck.
    - There are LOTS of clipping bugs.
    - The whole faction system is great on paper. But every server ends up with one dominating force. So if you picked a wrong faction (the loosing one), well you better start over on some other server. And you better pick the dominating faction this time.    … Expand

    Probably one of the worst starts of MMORPG in a history of MMORPGs. Absurd queues and lack of anti-AFK measures makes this game LITERALLY unplayable due to impossibility for most players to connect. 2000 player limit per server is a disaster.

    The graphics are fine, the UI and crafting system is great, but it is seriously lacking content and polish everywhere else. This issue is especially noticeable with the questing system, where you have the same fetch/kill quest only. Together with the three group dungeons, this is more or less the PvE content of the game. Sadly, in all PvE encounters, you have only the same reskinned enemy types.
    But maybe I am unfair. Maybe, besides the advertisement, New World is meant for PvP not PvE. Well, PvP sucks. One faction usually controls the server (syndicate, if you didn't know) and gets all the benefits from it. You can do the literally same three quests for each city to try to steal the control away from the overpowered faction. If you then control their fort, you can declare war on them. In the war, the fifty best people from the faction can fight for dominance over the city. Cool and all, but it is not likely that you are chosen for the fight with 2000 players on the server possible competing for the positions.
    Open world PvP is imho pointless. Even though your attributes are adjusted when you fight higher players, the benefits from their weapons skill points and equipment is unreal. If you are not with a strong group, you often get ganked, if you don't manage to run away. As a "motivation" you get 5% more XP. Why bother.
    Running is the next point. Fast travel is expensive and there are no mounts. You will run a lot, since the quests, your way of levelling, making you run non-stop from point to point for minutes. Once, I had to travel for half an hour because of a quest. I kid you not. It is a ridiculous waste and disrespect of your time.

    Tl;dr
    I think all the money went into marketing to try to make a win of a failed game. They succeeded. Don't add to it and buy it. It disrespects your time and is just not worth it. Play ESO, if you like Story, GW2, if you like PvP and fantastic mounts, or any other MMO.    … Expand

    People were cheating for weeks, getting like 1bln coins, maxing out all their skills, getting the best gear, obliterating everyone in pvp and capturing all the cities. And all of this resulted in getting a temporary 24h ban.
    There are exploits for everything: duping gold, invulnerability, enormous weapon damage, instant skill cooldowns, instant healing, etc.
    If you're into cheating, this game is for you. If you're extremely unlucky, in the worst case scenario (you run a twitch stream while using an exploit), you might get banned... for a day or two, just to come back and continue to abuse exploits.
    Anyway, let's get to the gameplay.
    - Character creator. It's just non existent. There are like 2 body types, 10 faces and 10 hair styles to choose from. And that's it! There's no way to change race, height, hair length, voice or boob size. To be fair you'll be wearing armor and helmets so you wouldn't even see your character that much.
    - Hair animations are not there. The hair is just stuck to the head. It will go right through theirs helmet and body, so the bolder- the better.
    - No swimming. There is none. The character will just walk under water until they die.
    - No mounts. Lets say, there's a quest on the other side of the map. You'll have to run there on foot for like 20 minutes of real time. It's good for pvp- there is no way a raid would just warp behind your back, and you can just control all roads to the city. I'd totally love to have some kind of mount just to move faster.
    - Fast travel is... weird. You can warp to any city once per hour. You can also walk into the teleport and warp anywhere by spending a specific type of currency that's also needed to improve crafting results. It's either you teleport once a day, or you craft like 10 great items.
    - PVP factions system. It feels rather dated. There are like 6 repetitive quests u can do to get some gear and ranks. You can also fight for castles... but u can't unless you're in top 50 pvp in your faction. So, most likely, you will never get to play huge scale pvp. Oh, and there is no equalizing of factions. So, everyone just joins 1 faction and the other two are outnumbered like 10 to 1. Anyway, I've cooperated with random guys, joined a group and did get some frags.
    - Guilds. There seems to be no way to apply for a guild unless you create your own, or yell in chat and get invited... They didn't let me join, so there's not much I can say about it.
    - Crafting. I like it. You got to spend hours running around chopping wood, fishing, hunting and collecting herbs. Then you just come back into town and craft the hell out of it. Lotsa components are interchangeable, so you will be able to craft a ton of stuff at once.
    - Classes. There are no classes, and that's great! You can pick up any weapon you want and just use it. The more enemies you kill- the better you get. You unlock skills and perks of a specific weapon. There are 2 sets of weapons you can carry simultaneously. So, you can shoot enemies with a gun, and switch to shield and sword when they get close. Oh, and armor is fully independent. One can create a heavy armored close combat healer. Skill cooldowns are rather long (about 20s), so you can switch between weapons and use skills from both. There are only 3 skill slots per weapon, but it's not a big deal. Combat is still fun- you have to aim, block and evade, not just press LMB to win.
    - Optimization. The game is running at around 144fps on a 3080, all settings maxed out. In towns, when there are like 100 players running around on screen, it drops to about 80fps. And the game looks absolutely awesome!
    - There seems to be no way to sell stuff to NPCs, only to players.

    All in all, New World is fun to play. It might not have the best character creator or the best quests, but the gameplay is good. It offers a ton of stuff to do. You wouldn't be running around talking to NPCs and reading some boring dialogues for 3 months like in FF14. Though I hope they'll add some stuff to polish the game here and there. And once you beat the game and get bored of pointless farming (took me about 3 weeks), you can just turn on one of hundreds exploits out there and start hacking with no risk of getting banned. Just cause that's what everyone does.    … Expand

    Add to this the total mess of a launch with mental queue times, players using other regions just to end up messing them up once their own opened. and a mountain of login issues.
    If this game (term used loosely) is still alive in 6 months time, then there is no hope for humanity (or future MMOs).

    4 hours in and... nope I'm out.

    Now dont get me wrong, it has a lot of things going for it.

    I could have endured the soporific questing and total absence of PvE stakes or story - I usually dont care much about them - but the two things that are really a no-go for me are the combat and world travel.

    Regarding combat, I've only tried PVE (obviously with so few hours in), and I know it's a hit or miss ; I usually (vastly) prefer action combat style over tab targeting, but here the implementation feels too clunky. Too few skills, huge CDs, weird hitbox registration, turning around feels sluggish due to lackluster performance (and you pretty much need to turn around all the time), zone cast feels imprecise. The two weapon slot system (and leveling) is a good idea, but in the end it all boils down to magic range for pulling then melee with very little motivation to switch again once engaged (unless you play melee / life staff, in which case you indeed swap back to LS, to alleviate some of the potion-chugging that would go on otherwise, and it seems to be the meta). Mob attacks have no meaningful telegraphs (apart from heavy attacks) meaning any over-aggro will remove any strategy and turn fights into hopeless and frentic button mashing (well, mouse-clicking to be precise, as you'll be waiting for your next 10s CD to come off).

    And then there's the travel. Not much to say here : you'll walk. A lot. A LOT. Now I know, I know, it is supposed to be a PvP-centric game and having people fast traveling around all the time would have defeated the purpose. I fail to see why it couldnt have been made more lenient in starting zones, because as it stands, you'll walk almost 10 minutes to your designated quest spot then back (unless your inn recall is off its 60m CD or you have enough fast travel currency), only to realize that the new quest you got is in the exact same place (in which case you either wasted time, currency, or both). Here you go again, have fun !

    As others have stated (and better than I did), the game feels like it doesn't really know what it wants to be. PvE-wise, it's atrocious. I like PvP as well, so I could have endured, but not when coupled with the (imho) far too lackluster combat. I'm afraid I will pass for the time being, and I'll check it out again in a couple months :)    … Expand

Opposing Governors get their companies and friends to mass report enemy Governors and their Company members to get them auto banned, making taking their territory in PVP a cakewalk. AGS says they do not have an autoban system, but it's pretty apparent to everyone by now they do. People have literally been banned for asking for a group in text chat. And the developer/moderators, like Windsward, are virtue signalers on steroids. rofl They haven't banned me and won't because 1.) I took the heads up to stay out of their chat system and use Discord instead and 2.) I've went back to games that actually hold more than 2000 people on a server with no ridiculous queues and have actual story and content.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to love this game- but ultimately I can't. I'm going to tell you what's good first so that I can get to my issues:

    GOOD:
    The world itself is absolutely stunning.
    The sound design is out of this world incredible.
    Gathering utilities and combat feels like it has weight behind it. (Actual impact)

    BAD:
    Questing is terribly repetitive and grindy
    What in the hell even is the character creator in this game? 2021 -- there is no excuse for this. Not only is the character creator bad- my character doesn't even look like the (One not hideous) face I selected when in game.
    Questing takes you back to the same locations over and over again.
    By level 20(ish) you've really seen everything the game has to offer for leveling PVE
    Toxic crowd- more than any MMO I've ever seen. Amazon Studios allows players to abuse the reporting system to target enemy factions before wars causing players to get banned right before a fwar.
    Craft grind is wildly inconsistent depending on where you spawn.
    Questing takes you a 20 minute run to a location to kill a group of mobs, to have you return, to have you go right back out to the same place and repeat the quest. Over. And. Over. And. Over. I've mentioned the quest repetition already, but this is more geared to the 20 minutes there and back that is required to do the questing.
    PVP: There is no real pvp outside of a war which most won't participate in. Open world is 100% opportunism on lower levels. Not fun, especially when... it's tied to a quest you're doing and PVP death automatically fails the mission causing you to have respawn, run 20 minutes back to get the quest, run back to the pvp quest location and try again. Not fun.

    Overall, this game is sloppy. Just not fun. And after two weeks of playing- I an honestly say I'm done.    … Expand

    You can spend days trying to get a group together and it is likely they will be trying something they have no chance of doing because the competent tanks quit out of frustration or boredom. Those that can dps stay quiet and instead go dps. Being a tank is boring and thankless. It is one of 2 classes that cant participate in PVP effectively because pvp has become so divergent that it is a separate game and dps, in comparison with tanks and healers are massively out of balance with them. So they become largely pve classes. But with no tanks, there is no pve and no groups. You can spend days waiting for nothing. Everyone is so bored with minute amount of end game content and the cheap and low effort repetitiveness of the same dungeons over and over and none more so than tanks (in particular) and healers. You could make other characters but the way they made the game is so badly designed that you need banks and banks full of equipment for equip one (Angry Earth Ward, Corruption Ward, Ancient Ward, Lost Ward and PVP if you aren't a tank or healer or just want to do it anyway. Trying managing that lot. It is bad enough for one, let alone two or three classes. So they managed to push enough tanks out that it is no longer viable at all and nothing left to do. It has been talked about for a year and they did nothing to stop it even as more and more left or respecced.

    Not region locking is huge. When you don't have any ability to communicate with anyone else it is making it feel like you are basically playing with bots. That is the number one flaw and it effects everything else.

    I love the world they created. It is amazing. I played a lot of hours but a lot of it I am just farming while watching netflix or amazon to be honest. Though it is nice to have it open and craft etc while doing something else. To be honest, it badly lacks content otherwise.

    On a gaming level. I have literally played almost every online MMO since everquest 1 beta onward and this is the most obviously class delineated pvp game since then. There are pvp classes, and those that are nerfed into oblivion. Unfortunately, several classes are really tedious to play because they are at a disadvantage in pvp (healer/tanks). Yet the game needs more healers and tanks to survive. Because they didn't fix this, getting groups is a real nightmare and I have been through three servers now because they merged following a server population crash. Every one of them you lose friends and concentrates the bot population and off service sellers.

    Massive amounts of different armour sets for each role you play. It is sheer hell and very quickly becomes unwieldy and boring to manage switching and endless managing of your various banks.

    Fortunately, though it takes a huge amount of time and grind, you could respec. ( Most just leave ). It is just generally a massively repetitive grinding experience.

    I do like the style and the graphics, big time. It is beautiful. The crafting is also very broad yet in some ways just not worth it for some skills (armourer). But the content was designed by folk without seemingly understanding how normal people might engage with it or appreciate a forced and tedious grind without new things to do in the end.

    PvP is a stun locking affair and in the main, it is as much down to which class you are and whether you kept up to date with the youtube and so on sites telling you what the current meta is. The focus on ranged is an obvious one and it is disappointing that they don't seem to get that this is a problem as old as Everquest 1!.
    It begins with creating the right sort of build and gear and understanding the skills and builds you are likely to be fighting. But it is not very rewarding in practical terms either, so pvp feels a bit pointless half the time as it is a side show and limited by class and the very repetitive and unrewarding battlegrounds. It's almost like 2 separate games.    … Expand

It really feels like an unfinish product from the start (you cant even swim you just walk under the water like some pirates of the Caribbean zombie pirate)

    Questing - has to be the worst part about this game, it is just gets unbelievably monotonous and boring. Endless go here loot x chests, kill x enemy quests that would normally be ok but you end up going to the same places over and over again making it seem like some dumb radiant quest from fallout 4 or Skyrim. In order to level you will be doing this just doing endless world events until your brain melts. The game mostly feels like the hinterlands from dragon age inquisition where you are constantly stuck doing some dumb monotonous task for little reward. Very minimal story/lore almost seems like an afterthought.

    Graphics - i personally think this is where the game shines, the game looks absolutely awesome for an MMO and might have the best graphics out of any MMO today. The one problem I have is that a lot of the areas are literal copy pastes from each other and when you enter the same type of house for the 100x time it's kind of bothering.

    Combat - very basic combat system where you only get 6 total spells. Enemies hit pretty hard and the defensive options are mainly based on dark souls with the combat dodge and blocking. Animations are well done and satisfying, but due to the low amount of available skills combat can get pretty boring fast.

    PVP - Lots of cool moments defending forts or getting into 2v2s and you get decently rewarded. There are some problems like not being able to catch any fleeing enemies but overall it's pretty fun and worth a try.

    Social Aspect - This is what disappointed me the most, there is very little incentive to actually interact with friends/other people other than go to dungeons and take forts. Personally, i started a character around the same time as my friends but since there are different spawn locations we weren't able to quest together from the start, so we ended up just questing in different areas never really seeing each other until lvl 20 when you get to enter your first dungeon. So after about 10 hours of gameplay we see each other once for some dungeon quest then we split up and go our separate ways again because there isn't really any reason to stay in a group. This is an MMO, interacting with other players should be a huge part of the game, but unfortunately there is not much incentive to do so.

    Crafting/Gathering - really well done, it feels rewarding when you finally get enough skill to harvest that really cool looking rock/tree/plant then taking it back to craft a cool item. Leveling the crafting skills is rewarding because you can make a really cool item that you can either sell or give to your friends. Really enjoyable, one of the highlights of the game.

    This game COULD be really good if they spent some dev time fixing some of the glaring problems with the game, but for now I would stay away until they make some progress as the monotony just becomes too much after about a week of gameplay. Personally, i will be taking a long break until the game becomes more developed.    … Expand

    Another 2021 generic MMORPG, nothing new.
    Poor fight mechanics, repetitive quests and content.
    Money and time waste, for free is expensive.

    Amazon poured so much money into it that you never dreamed of it. They brought suitcases of money to everyone who could. From each iron there is an advertisement for this craft.

    50 dollars and 1 hour spent just to get the game running and my friends server is full. They cant move their character to a new server either so I'm just supposed to play this game which is meant to be played with other people with my friends. This game shouldn't have been released yet, just another early access game accept this game doesn't have the decency to admit that.

    Absolutely no story line whatsoever, the journals are essentially a copy paste between all of them. During launch the que times are horrendous, but now they added more servers and locked the older ones, meaning that your friends who want to ply must start on a different server for the time being until their “free” transfers start in 2 weeks.

During launch the que times are horrendous, but now they added more servers and locked the older ones, meaning that your friends who want to ply must start on a different server for the time being until their “free” transfers start in 2 weeks. The PvE in the game is alright, definitely subpar compared to others in the genre. “Dungeons” are super easy and blown through with a competent group. This game is focused on PvP and honestly I hate it, so I avoid it. The gathering and crafting are in my opinion the shining stars of the game. Good RuneScape vibe and it’s fun to explore and chop down or mine some rocks. My biggest gripe about the game though is the fact that you can get a quest to kill “mob” and skin it for “materials”. Now this is almost impossible when there are about 20+ players all farming that same mob. Grouping doesn’t share or duplicate materials so you have to kill that mob “X” amount of times and hope your team makes it in time to skin the mob before someone else. Bezos said that after multiple failures, they have finally had success. This is only partially true. If it wasn’t for the fact that WoW is dead and FFXIV players are also leaving due to micro transactions, it’s only logical to assume that the reason the game is doing good, is because it is new. If Amazon wants to keep this game going they will need a good story, which from how it is now seems like they have no ability to do so. They need better questing systems with more impact with the story line.… Expand

    No proper coop content, no mounts, no lore, no minimap, no convenient interface, just nothing, no any point to play this crap. Don’t waste ur money on it!

    An MMORPG with great potential - but there’s so much work to be done. It is, however, already highly addictive for those who are patient and forgiving.

    New World is an mmo that could be straight out of 2010. It hardly adds any new ideas to the genre and therefore feels dated in content. The faction system offers interesting possibilities for wars between players, but is not yet balanced. New World demands a lot of time from its players, but does not actually give anything in return that we have not seen before. Graphically, everything is fine, and although the game has microtransactions, they are only of a cosmetic nature. There is no subscription: for the entrance fee, the entire base game is open to you.

    New World is such a large MMO that we will have to spend our time in the vast world of Aethernum. While some mechanics or functionalities don't have much of a place nowadays, it has other things that seem to me to be genuine and cutting edge in terms of massively multiplayer online development.
