    Remarkably derivative and devoid of new ideas, creativity and innovation. What a waste.

    Launch headaches aside, the game is empty and boring after the first 20 levels. Nothing in the new world that makes me actually care about the new world. Wish I could get my money back.

    Anyway, in response to this (and looking at you Steam Reviews as well) I decided to create a Metacritic account to post my review which up to level 36 is a strong 8 which I upgraded to a strong 9 in response to all the obvious trolls here. Frankly I wanted to give it a 10 but there are a few small flaws which mean this game is yet a Masterpiece, and unlike the 150 Negative reviews at the time of writing I want to be somewhat objective.

    Rant over. Let the review begin.

    Once you beat the queue which we all acknowledge was/is an issue, the server I played on was rock solid until a few lag issues in dungeons materialised over the last few days. Really, for an MMO launch I thought this was very smooth in general and the polish of New World is immediately apparent and the onboarding is great.

    On my RX580 with a Ryzen 5 2600 and 16 gig of ram I enjoyed a rock steady 30-40 FPS on my 1440p monitor and I am still blown away by the beauty of this game. Similarly to Vanaheim earlier this year the hues and ocres provide a visual feast. My one complaint is a lack of a weather system as each zone has its own unique biome. I would have preferred dynamic weather effects.

    It feels apparent this game took many design ques from the brilliant and under appreciated Conan: Exiles, and I find the world similar in some of their design aesthetics and concepts. The more commonly referred to combat system of Dark Souls is oft mentioned but I felt at home here as my last PvP MMO/Survival game was Conan.

    The story line if you bother is actually reasonable. Very ironic as you read the threads on blue tinted notes and feels as though you have seen it all before (in a good way) with very similar troupes used in our favourite games to date.

    You wake on a beach and head towards the First Light encampment, along the way fighting Lost, Undead and Pirates, steadily moving forward with a multitude of interesting distractions as you unravel the mystery's of Aeternum and become more powerful.

    I wont say much more, but if you love crafting, exploration, PvE questing (which serves to showcase the beautiful world and engaging combat) you become ready for the Expeditions (PvE Dungeons), PvP, Housing and general casual chill of this game or all out PvP if thats your thing too.

    No complaints what so ever for the price of entry and what a beautiful canvass to build on.    … Expand

    I was able to get a refund from Amazon. If you don't like this game and use Amazon a lot, I highly recommend getting a refund before it is too late. I had to get in to chat using one of my other orders, but then they had to transfer me to a service rep who handled digital orders.

    I told them all the problems I was having and since I was a "valued customer" they gave me a full refund.    … Expand

    The crafting is cool and I suspect it feels extra grindy because you can basically level all your professions to max in the starting area. I have no idea why they didn’t area gait this.
    The combat is ok, there aren’t many weapons with most people not using dex (ranged) builds because of manual aiming.
    I used sword/board•life staff and found that when I came to the first dungeon, I could go tank/healer/dps. I had to craft separate armours but it was still a good decision.
    Haven’t touched pvp yet so can’t comment first hand.
    Pve questing is what you’d expect, nothing original there.
    Gold is scarce and there’s loads plenty of flipping going on via the trading post, which is a shame.

    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

    Combat is awful. Animations tend to be long and lock characters into them, move them around, and generally cause problems for placement. PVE gameplay tends to be repetitive. Crafting is okay since there's plenty to gather and make, but selling anything produced is a challenge. Group combat has collisions between group members so it's terrible combined with the animation locks and forced movement.

    It's been extremely enjoyable so far. I wasn't going to make a review for it, but a lot of the negative reviews only point to the server issues at launch and the score here doesn't reflect the current game fairly. Most of that has been resolved, it's a fine new addition to the mmo genre and is a great foundation to build off of.

    This game is an absolute mess. I played till level 30 (which took a lot of time, doing every single side quest and still being under leveled) and couldn't find anything in this game that was enjoyable. What did they thin when they released a RPG with zero Progression? You have the same 3 clunky skills from level 1 to level 60 and there are like 4 dungeons in the entire game.

    New world has a huge focus on PVP and Crafting. Pvp is unique and a lot more involved than most MMOs. You'll find yourself fighting for land, forts and missions to try and overtake one another. Also being able to flag up for pvp rather than just having pvp dedicated servers is a great way to handle it.

    Crafting is amazingly in depth with this game. Not only do you need to gather materials to level up each crafting attribute, the crafting tables in the towns themselves have to be leveled up to make higher tier loot. Makes it a faction project to start getting the next tier loot rather than just grinding for endless hours.

    Where this game does fail is in PvE. The combat is fun enough, and some of the enemies are cool. In general though, enemy variation is some what lacking, and quest can be bland. Very rarely do I get a quest that I am excited to do. When a good quest does come along, it's great! Ive only had that happen a hand full of times though.

    In the end, this is one of the best MMO launches I have seen in a long time, and an amazing base to build off of. As more content gets added to this one, it'll easily be one of the best MMO's out there. Till then, I will just call it a good start. So if your in it for nothing but PvE, I would hold off till the first DLC is released. If you love crafting and PvP, this is a great game for you already.

    Великолепная графика для ММО
    Интересные анимации, например, очень понравилась возможность зацепиться за карниз и подтянуться, когда тебя скидывают вниз.
    Очень качественный звук. В хороших наушниках прекрасно слышится с какой стороны к тебе бежит волчара, чтобы впиться в задницу:)
    Когда стреляешь из мушкета чувствуется "импакт". Можно стрелять, лёжа в кустах:)
    Интересная механика рыбалки, да и крафта/собирательства в целом:) тому, кто любит "мирные" профессии зайдёт 100%.
    Система смены оружия - великолепная идея, к тому же, хорошо реализованная. Сначала я скептически относился к двум панелькам по 3 скилла, поэтому был приятно удивлён в итоге. Время кастордера на 4 строки (вспомни эверквест, вов до лк и фф14 и др.) прошло.
    Не новая, но хорошо реализованная идея разделения локаций на биомы с соответствующим распределением погоды, местности, времени года и природных ресурсов: на болоте часто можно встретить нефть, на лугах различные лекарственные и не очень травы, а в горах месторождения руды, то же касается и биоразнообразия.
    На самом деле интересных аспектов намного больше, но для детального разбора придётся писать слишком большой объём текста.

    Из минусов:
    Очереди на старте, к сожалению, как и любые другие компании, амазон не справился с запуском, из-за этого очень много гневных, но по сути необоснованных отзывов, хотя проблема решалась элементарно, созданием персонажа на свободном сервере.
    Дисконнекты в очереди со сбросом места, однако, один раз моего друга после этой ошибки вернуло на его место, видимо, не успело пройти обновление статистики до рекконекта.
    Отсутствие возможности перезагрузить интерфейс (reload UI), при некоторых условиях перестаёт работать компас, пропадают квесты, панели скиллов, перестаёт работать автобег.
    Технические проблемы в подземельях, пинг, дисконнекты.
    Игра сильно загружает видеокарту, Требовательна к качеству соединения.
    Очень спорный инвентарь, кое что удобно, но то, что его можно открыть только СТОЯ (из положения лёжа/сидя персонаж подскочит в полный рост) на одном месте - это провал. Вас тупо могут убить, пока вы ковыряетесь в своих шмотках.

    Smooth gameplay, fluid combat, amaizing and complex graphics, the fauna and foliage are abundant and on point. The sky is really well done. The moving particles are also on point. Class customization is all up to you! Very enjoyable as a solo. Regions can be overtaken by a npc faction called the Corrupted!! Take your time and enjoy this game. It's just up hill from here!!

    After playing for a week, this is really badly designed multiplayer game. If you want to play a PvP (true) MMO for a fixed price, Guild Wars 2 is far better choice.

    - The forest environment is quite nice
    - The combat is OK-ish. It would pass for an indie game.

    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

    Now dont get me wrong, it has a lot of things going for it. UI is super clean, gathering / crafting works well, and although the whole Spanish Conquistador-type design is not my cup of tea, the artistic direction is nice, graphics are pleasing and the draw distance is certainly impressive (despite being nothing new in this day and age). I could have    4 hours in and... nope I'm out.

UI is super clean, gathering / crafting works well, and although the whole Spanish Conquistador-type design is not my cup of tea, the artistic direction is nice, graphics are pleasing and the draw distance is certainly impressive (despite being nothing new in this day and age).

    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

The game has a lot of potential but falls short in many areas. 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

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

    I didn't and don't have high expectations from this so I guess I will enjoy it. Start with low expectations and move on.
    About the Queues : Yes it's unacceptable. I really didn't have a problem because I remote log my PC while I'm at work 3 hours before I come home. So when I get home it's about to login. But it's unacceptable to having paid for a game and not be able to play it. Imagine all the people that come home from work, wanna chill with the game they bought and they have to wait for 3 to 4 hours. And they also cannot refund it because waiting in Queue surpasses the 2 hour threshold needed for a game to not be refundable. I don't know about consumer rights and stuff but I guess this is against a law or something and could sue the company. But who's gonna sue Amazon lol
    The dungeons : Really laggy and bugged. Attacks not registering 50-70% of the time,which is really bad for a game. Huge issue. If a SINGLE attack or spell in World of Warcraft didn't register, people would go nuts in the forums. This is huge.
    Sound : Sound is very good. Good sound effects. Music just decent.
    Graphics : Not something great, but acceptable.
    The game has potential, it has many bugs and flaws, but I hope it will be fixed a lot from time to time. ( i hope) .    … 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.

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.

    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.

There is less than nothing to character creation, the armor is boring, and everyone looks the same. The skill trees are laughably small with a handful of usable abilities and a few mostly useless passives.

    Movement feels like you are standing in taffy. There is a dodge button you are supposed to use, but it only hops you like two inches and half the time you are locked into some animation and cant even use it.

    Ranged is a joke right now as enemy AI pathing is broken for many mobs standing at the top of stairs, and hitting moving targets is subject to lag jank.

    Also, The community IS TOXIC.
    There is this quest to kill this tough bear and skin it. I managed to solo it with a bow and some rando ran right past me and skinned my kill the moment I fired the last shot. Now I couldn’t finish the quest and the mob would take who knows how long to respawn.
    This isn’t fun. That type of helpless griefing with no possible way to prevent it is horrible game design.

    This whole generic mess has one purpose. Greif you. Your bank is unique per city. The auction house is the only way to make money and it is also unique per city. If everyone is in a different town, none of your hard work matters as no one buys your crafted wares. And it costs money to list items. Fast travel is discouraged as it costs a ton of a rare resource and there are no mounts in the game. All of this exacerbates the unique bank and auction house problems.

    If only Amazon put as much money into the game as they did paying off streamers to give away thousands of free copies to boost launch player and viewcounts we'd have something a little more than mediocrity posed as brilliance but alas

    Shills on here will tell you to ignore valid criticism much like they told you to ignore asmongold when he rightly criticized aspects of the game, but then they themselves leave single sentence positive spam reviews most of which have absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. They post memes and one liners and have the audacity to moan about legitimate criticism in negative reviews, hmmm. Shills out in full force. Even worse are those pretending "queues" are this games only faults.

    I played this game in beta, found it to be mediocre then, but decided to give the full release a chance, and it hasen't really improved at all. Forget the queue's, forget the crashing that's beside the point and anyone using that to cope about the negative reviews is missing the point, the game is just mediocre. What if you took ESO's format, mixed it with a little runescape, slapped Dragon Age Inquisition's dog crap combat onto it, created the most generic world you could create with the most generic concept you could create, took every early access survival game of the past 5 years and tossed it into a boiling pot that you left stewing on the stove unattended to. That's this game, a confused lot of conflicting concepts

    The gameplay has got to be some of the jankiest garbage i've played in an MMO yet. It plays like a worse Eso, same two weapon switching and everything only with more uninspired abilities. For some strange reason they opted to imitate Dragon Age inquisition, same auto-attack, design philosophy and all. What a strange choice, the worst installment of the franchise, that's the one you want to be like, interesting. Gone is the fun combat and fluidity you've seen in WoW or FFXIV, no we're Dragon Age Inquisition now with even less abilities. I'm sorry but I read one review here calling New World's combat complex and I just had to chuckle, it is by far the most casual combat in a mainstream MMO, bar none, it's just serviceable. Hell even ESO does combat better and that's saying a lot because that's one of the things ESO doesn't nail that well. You can tell the developers have no idea what they're doing, are very inexperienced and just looked at a bunch of different concepts from other games and copy pasted them horribly.

    I've seen some people raving about crafting in this game, it's nothing we haven't seen before you collect the material by pressing E, you craft it just like that, all automated. This is something even most standard single player titles do. Far Cry comes to mind, there's many others, it's a staple in video games now. It's very streamlined for an MMO. Whereas in other competitor mmos one of them being FFXIV you have entire classes and skills and items hell even side content and mini games and activities dedicated to crafting. Now I don't want to compare games so much, but when you're raving about certain aspects of a game, atleast they should be distinct, unique, different from everything else enough to warrant such ravings, and it's just not. Compared to other MMO's in this genre, the crafting is bare bones.

    The questing? NON-EXISTENT, well it exist, you'll just wish it hadn't. You wanted to copy the ESO format, you could have at least taken some pointers on their questing. It's very clear to anyone that they slapped these quest on last minute because people complained. It is so obvious.

    The boss fights? just as janky as you would expect them to be from an already janky combat system. It gives you insight on just how the endgame for this game will be, a janky cluster F, but i'm sure you've already witnessed this whenever you saw 40+ players farming a tree. Pure jank orgy. The enemy variety? there isn't much, you fight zombies, and zombies, and zombies and more zombies even at higher levels this does not change. For a game called New World, everything in it from the terrain to the enemies seem very old and uninspired.

    I wanted to have hope in this game, but here we have another soulless cash grab. Looking for a good MMO instead I got a recycled early access survival game I played in multiple incarnations before. What is it with these devs and especially from the West as of late and being devoid of any and all creativity. Copy paste, sell the same game.

    5/10 the game atleast looks shiny, but a better game in this format exist already, it's called Eso, and i'm quite ashamed I spent $40 just to play a lesser Eso.    … Expand

    It doesn't deliver any interesting features... Rust and vallheim did it better

    Kind of embarrassing for Amazon to release a game like this. Character creation is a joke, quest are all fetch quests making the gameplay feel tedious like homework. It’s not dynamic or world building to go kill x number if enemies or go find three items spread throughout a map. Oh wait you’re having fun though? Wait until you encounter faction territory. The combat is a worse version ofKind of embarrassing for Amazon to release a game like this. Character creation is a joke, quest are all fetch quests making the gameplay feel tedious like homework. It’s not dynamic or world building to go kill x number if enemies or go find three items spread throughout a map. Oh wait you’re having fun though? Wait until you encounter faction territory. The combat is a worse version of Elder Scrolls Online, which I’d suggest you play if you haven’t and have tried this. If you’re a casual player or parent skip this all together. They have no idea about the current climate of gaming audience. The 1% are the try hard all day grinders and this game caters to that right now. Majority of players will fall off in ~2 months. I realize it’s launch but it’s embarrassing for Amazon to release something like this at launch. Did they even investigate what an MMO is before? Save your money and time. If you’re a hardcore neck beard lonely loser looking for something to help you forget about your depressing life, New World is the latest shiniest “MMO” tag thrown at a game. Knock yourself out.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Played during the various previews and the Beta, so I could see how the game would take shape with the playerbase's feedback. To their benefit, many changes made are in line with what players wanted. However, the game at it's current stage is still lacking too much content, bith in PvE and PvP. It's not excelling at any particular aspect of an MMORPG, which will hopefully be addressed in future expansions.… Expand

    But when you are getting disconnection over and over and over and over and over again from online session because of server error, it's gets you bored and ruins all game experience.

    How else can I tell developers that starting in an MMORPG is the most important thing?

After spending many hours in the game in closed beta testing, we gathered our clan of 83 people and planned to start the character leveling race together so that everyone's progress was uniform, in a network game you depend on the progress of the character who is next to you, this creates a balance of the whole game. But the developers did not give everyone an opportunity to start an even start, and 1 out of 10 plays, and the remaining 9 sit in a queue that lasts 8-10 hours, which does not allow the person who paid for the game and has a job to play at all, and this is outrageous. And the worst thing is that so far the developers have not done anything to increase the bandwidth of players and reduce queues.… Expand

    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.
