    Great game that breaks the mold of just copying WoW as closely as you can. Negative reviewers mostly just lie about there not being an end game (they probably haven't even done invasions or the outdoor elite areas) or combat being bad when it's solidly the best combat in an mmo thus far.

    For someone who has been playing video games/MMO for 20 years including WoW, FF11/14, AION, Runescape, BOD and GW. New World is high quality. Yes not perfect but no major issues.

    Combat is fun. PvE for once is not dull. The game feels alive and crafting is amazing.

    This game is unique and probably the freshest MMORPG this decade , it's an action combat MMORPG so take that into account if you want to get this game for the PVP aspect , game is stunning and feels like a survival sandbox where everyone is equal.

    Try it before you KNOCK it , i know i jumped on that hate bandwagon and man I was wrong.

    Good game , Fun exploring the world. The Crafting system is complex and engaging. Didn't try PVP but the PVE aspects are fulfilling. The game didn't add anything new to the formula, But that's OK , My only complaint is the long queue times. Hopefully that's something the company will address soon.

    After comparison with price+quality with current world of warcraft and playing it a bit more ~35 hours can surely say we were hungry for the new mmo products. It isn't perfect with version 1.1, it's less then month after release.
    Setting 10 just to support the developer if non-biased i'd rank it around 7 but lets get shortly to pros and cons:
    cons: little diversity of mobs/questlines,    After comparison with price+quality with current world of warcraft and playing it a bit more ~35 hours can surely say we were hungry for the new mmo products. It isn't perfect with version 1.1, it's less then month after release.
    Setting 10 just to support the developer if non-biased i'd rank it around 7 but lets get shortly to pros and cons:

    cons: little diversity of mobs/questlines, wish there was quite more of that, but if you're BDO/lineage player you won't feel that much difference in terms of questing, it's rather con for ex-WoW players.

    Needs better optimising the settings. 16 ggb ram is recommended, 8 ggb ram, even with a good videocard will be only possible to play with medium settings. Well, if that possible of course, i've never seen personally MMO's with such beatiful pictures but in the same time system requirements yet :)

    pros: great combat system and non-target is made much better then it was in asian setting game "Tera" back then.

    One of the few "Western" stylish MMO's, since most mmo's are asian-style.
    way better crafting system then wow has, crafting is very important here for your character, it's surely one of the main activities of the game

    Very good pvp-wise. Only here you can shoot with musket as it feels you're wielding AWP in CS. It's totally unique for an MMO.

    No limitations due to classes. Basicly your character may be any spec you want depending on gear. Respec is very cheap(stat respec), respec with weapon skills is free any time in the city. And yes about weapon specs. Basicly you choose 2 weapons to combine, which use some common stat to empower and you max stat to the one you need with your gear + talent points. If you want to go from for example sword+hammer to fire staff/frost gauntlet - you can store your streight gear in the bank, respec everything to intellect/focus/const, get cloth gear with these stats and go level your weps to unlock weapon talents in the open world on mobs or in pvp after you got some skills. PvP gives much more experience in weapon skill then PvE. TLDR; your character can be any class, you don't need to level alts as you do for example in WoW.

    Hope that helped!

    P.S. most hate is from wow players about quests/mobs, people think all mmo's are same as wow and should be done as wow, when in lineage2/GW it's quite similar to new world. Jeez please just go buy your Vanilla 3rd time a row or return to your Scammerlands and let people play the new game, thank you    … Expand

    This one is going to make a lot of classic MMO players angry. This is not a good game if you like to skip the leveling process and starting playing higher level content immediately.

    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.

    - vaste map etendue.

    - Le pvp présent, ainsi que du RvR comme je le souhaitais

    - Les joueurs ont un impact sur l'economie et les diverses politiques et prises de pouvoirs de territoires.

    - Différentes manières de pexx. Que ce soit des quetes standards au craft recolte etc.

    - Une ambiance calme et sereine. Je prend énormément plaisir a voyager de zone en zone tout en regardant le paysage proposé ici.

    - Pas de MONTURES. Parce que oui. Pour moi, quelles soient terrestres ou volante, on perd l'aspect rencontre et entraide. Y a suffisament de zone de tp pour aller rapidement d'un point A à un point B

    - Les développeurs ECOUTENT sa communauté. Et ça fait PLAISIR. Même durant les alphas et les betas, ils ont ajustés, supprimés et renforcés des mécaniques au sein du jeu.

    Pour ce qui est des points negatifs, les files d'attentes de 3 siècles n'ont pas arrangées les choses. De même pour la partie PVE qui n'a pour l'instant pas encore sa place en jeu. Les bugs graphiques, et le respawn beaucoup trop court denature le jeu. En espérant que tout ça soit corrigés.


    En bref, pour moi le jeu mérite un 7.5/10. Je met ma note à 10 pour relever le review bombing qui certe est dû aux premiers jours de la release qui ont été catastrophique, mais clairement pas mérité.

    I expected the queues to be quite bad at launch - which they are. However, once you get in there are a lot of fun to be had. Servers are stable, combat is alright and the crafting and everything in between is excellent. Highly addicting game. Graphics are gorgeous aswell for an MMO. Highly recommend it.

It feels like a interesting open world you want to explore.

    What do I mean by "great potential"? Well I can see both, depending on how they'll support this game in the upcoming month and what they change.

    If they fix some bugs, the sometimes not relateable npc KI, bring new content like e.g. 10 man raids, seasonal competitive ranking lists, new dungeons and countries, it might actually be an great long term star in the MMO sky.

    If they don't fix any of the few little problems it has, but rather start to milk the players by making it an p2w or p2skip game, it might end up as nothing more than another MMO that HAD great potential.    … Expand

    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

    After putting in 60 hours into the beta and 150 into live I feel I can finally give an honest review.

    The developers have created a fantastic foundation, the world is brimming with life and feels lived in, the audio is incredible, visually it's by far the best-looking MMO on the market and while not perfect the combat is a refreshing change of pace from the more dated TAB target system.

    The developers have created a fantastic foundation, the world is brimming with life and feels lived in, the audio is incredible, visually it's by far the best-looking MMO on the market and while not perfect the combat is a refreshing change of pace from the more dated TAB target system. But as with any new MMO, it's not perfect and for the most part that's OK, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with New World that can't be fixed with time, something every MMO needs to fully mature.

    First I'll take about the elephant in the room and the reason for the majority of the bad reviews which are the servers. Now the servers themselves are almost perfect, once you're in there's no lag whatsoever. However, there are queues on certain servers, at the time of writing this not many servers have queues and if you're a new player there are tons of populated servers without queues so this will never be an issue for you. AGS are working on offering free transfers to everyone which should be available in a week or so, making it possible to join friends. As an MMO veteran, I can honestly say this is one of the best MMO launches I've experienced, queues do not make a bad launch, WoW Classic had queues and suffered from horrible lag even once you finally made it in, which is not the case with New World.

    After reaching the max level I will say this, it's not for everyone, this is a grindy, often difficult MMO that requires some level of skill and commitment, it will come as quite a shock to some people who are only used to easier MMOs. And that's OK, not everything needs to be spoonfed to the player, but just be aware this isn't retail WoW before you jump in.

    New World currently feels very much barebones, what's there is enjoyable but there's not that much of it, which is often the case with a new MMO, they generally need 1-2 years to mature. The later levels are extremely difficult to earn because the quests start to dry up, you can tell they ran out of time. And once you hit max level pretty much everything requires a group. The basic gameplay loop at max level is to farm outdoor 5 man dungeons, Expeditions (instanced dungeons) and slowly build your gear score, which works very similarly to the Division and Destiny 2. Obviously, this isn’t everything New World has to offer, it also has an incredible gathering and crafting system and a wealth of PvP modes.

    Speaking of the PvP, you might not get to do it as Company/Guild leaders get to pick who they want in their Wars and Invasions, this is a sore spot for me as I do not believe paying customers should be able to gate content from other paying customers. The whole system needs to be reworked IMO.

    As a new MMO New World is also missing a ton of QoL features, and some larger features, for example, a transmog system which is completely absent. There are 1001 QoL issues that I won’t go into, but you will often be left wondering “Why can’t I do that?” “Why doesn’t it work like this”?. Several features feel like they’re still in beta, most notably the chat system and auction house which are both woefully inadequate.

    Overall New World is a solid MMO and I’m very excited to see where it is in a years time.    … Expand

    The distinct lack of new MMOs makes New World one of the better massively multiplayer games to come online in recent years.

    That's not to say it's a great game. But it's good enough to be diverting for a while. And in this environment, that's enough to give it an 8 instead of a 5 or 6 that it would earn in direct competition with MMOs that have been out for a decade or more.

    What's good about New World?

    First, it has a top notch gathering/craft system that makes travel/exploration worthwhile. New World is one of the few MMOs where you can walk out of town, chop down a forest, cut it into lumber, then craft some weapons or furniture from it. Overall, I've found this part of the game to be quite enjoyable and probably the only genuinely unique thing about New World.

    The weapons/combat system is solidly engaging. Actives/passives are based off of the type of weapons you use and your choices of specialization. It's got a lot of room for expansion and fine-tuning, but it's pretty good as is.

    Travel is slow. A lot of folks complain about the lack of mounts and the Azoth (resource) cost of fast travel. As I said before though, the gathering aspect of the game makes this palatable. If you're picky on your gathering, you're not going to enjoy the travel though. If you gather, make sure you have the +Azoth chance perk on your tools and, combined with your Inn and a house or two, Fast Travel won't be so bad,

    The quests are typical. Go kill mobs and/or loot their chests for quest items. Nothing new or surprising the whole way through. Stay in your level range +/- 3 and it's all fairly easy to solo without reading the text or really having to think about anything other than efficient travel.

    For me, the biggest flaw of the game is that it doesn't really change. From your first 10 levels to your last 10 levels, you're fighting the same few NPCs -- boars, bears, wolves, bobcats, cougars, crocodiles and a surprisingly limited variety of undead pirates.

    I guess you could toss in rabbits, buffalo, goats, sheep, elk and turkeys too. But all those are really just there to be hunted as they wander around. Rabbits and turkeys are one-shot kills at every level, so you can't even really count them at all.

    I'd say the game has roughly a dozen distinct fighting enemies from beginning to end. Only the names and levels change. That was a problem with Dark Age of Camelot when it released in 2002. But New World makes that game seem like a living Monster Manual by comparison.

    At Level 1 you're killing boars and undead pirates with your wooden sword. At high levels, you're killing boars and undead pirates with a legendary weapon that doesn't look or feel much different. Your armor has improved, but it's probably not all that striking either. You can dye it, but the colors don't really pop enough to make that exciting. And no matter what you do to look good, you'll be outdone by a low level who just paid for the visuals

    In the end, we're left with a leveling trip that was fun enough, especially when no one seems interested in launching big MMOs anymore. But it's not the kind of fun that really makes players excited to do it all again.    … Expand

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.

    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.
    Многие говорят, что квесты невнятные, внятные квесты в фф14, представьте себе нью ворлд с диалогами и катсценами по 5-15 минут после каждого задания. Бойтесь своих желаний.
    Отсутствие фильтров на трекинг ресурсов.

If you're one of those people who were worried about getting this game because of the long queue times then don't worry. I've played this game everyday for about a week now and I have never had to wait to get into a server.

    This game is an MMORPG and has all the core basic mechanics that every MMO has. Although the quest are simple, routine, and nothing really special, I'm still really enjoying the story so far. I can say the same for the all the side quests. This is an MMO so if you're expecting for mind blowing quest then you probably shouldn't be playing this game or an MMO. Leveling in this game is a huge grind so I'm actually kind of thankful that a lot of these quest are simple because I can just blow through them, get some XP/gear, and move onto to the next. I've never been one for really grindy games like this one, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm excited to get to level 50 so I can participate in some of the end game PvP stuff.

    I really enjoy the combat in this game. It's not hot bar based and I like that a lot. I love being able to dodge, block, attack, and use my weapons special abilities. I love switching between weapons and creating my own style of play. A lot of MMOs are classed based, but there's no classes in this game. I love how I can be Melee DPS/Ranged DPS at the same time. I'm not limited to just one class per character. Depending on the weapons I use, I can be DPS, tank, or heals. I can work on those weapons and level those weapons up so I can unlock more abilities that I can use with that weapon. I can work on attributes and work on the specs i need to work on for whatever two weapons I want to main for whatever role I would like to play as. If i wanted to switch from DPS to healer then all I have to do is re-spec and set my attributes up for a healer and so on. I think it's a great system because everyone can be whatever they want with just one character.

    Running around everywhere in this game does really suck at first, but you can always fast travel if you have enough azoth. I see a lot of people complaining about the azoth system, but i have not run out of azoth yet. I try to be smart with my fast travels so i don't run out. If i have a quest to go to or turn in that's 500M away, then i'm better off just leaving auto run on and heading straight there. Now, If i have a quest that's 1000 plus meters away then I'm going to use some of my azoth to fast travel as close as possible. If you fast travel everywhere all the time then i can see how it's really easy to run out eventually. I think the reason why there's no mounts yet is so that people actually explore the game. Also I feel like a lot of people wouldn't work on any skills(logging, mining, tracking/skin, harvesting, and etc) if there were mounts this early in the game.

    The best part about this game Is that it has a lot of potential and room to grow. I'm really excited to see what Amazon Games adds to New World in the future. Things like new weapons, the addition of mounts, new zones, new dungeons, new PVP modes, and so on and so on. The future is really bright in Aeternum.    … Expand

It definitely has its fair share of bugs, but Amazon Games is very quick about patching and does a good job communicating with the players. The combat is one of its best features. Compared to similar MMO games (Elder Scrolls Online, Blessed, Neverwinter, etc) the combat is smooth and fun. Movement feels real. From swinging weapons to harvesting resources. It doesn't feel cheap, cartoony, or arcade-ish. The graphics are awesome. The world looks and feels alive, especially if you're on a server that isn't super low population. The game has huge potential. Now to the not so great stuff.

    Leveling isn't too hard, but it is a slight grind. But if you've ever played literally any MMO, then this shouldn't surprise you. The crafting system needs work. The good thing is that you can potentially craft the best gear in the game. The bad thing is that its nearly impossible because of the way they have it set up currently (trophies, crafting gear, food buffs). The grind to max certain crafting skills is also extremely hard and tedious. There is a lack of good pvp content at the moment. The wars are pretty fun overall, but they aren't really something that happen enough to consider true pvp. They have Outpost Rush, but its really not great, and if you're on a low population server its hard to get matches going. They recently introduced a 3v3 pvp arena mode, and I think that is going to be the first step in a good direction for New World pvp. My one and only true gripe with the game is the lack of content currently. Once you've maxed your character the only thing left to do is the repetitive grind to max your gear score. Once Amazon has added more content (pve and pvp) I really think the game will be great.    … Expand

    Customer Service: I had no problems buying, installing and playing. As for support due to problems, I could not evaluate it at the moment.

    Cost / Benefit: Excellent. You only pay for the base game which has an affordable price, does not require a monthly subscription, the cash store is only for cosmetics and does not sell power-ups or gold.

    Duration of the main story: At the moment it is short but it is expanding with the addition of content and this adds up since it has continuity.

    Relevance of past content: For now it is good since it is a relatively new game and it has great activity in its different areas.

    Reward Gratification: Good. It is always possible to acquire an upgrade or useful materials.

    Approach: Focused on the gaming experience in its two versions, PvP and PvE.

    Class balance: It does not have classes as such. The different styles are in the process of adjustments, currently decent. It has the advantage of being able to rotate styles with the same character for greater versatility.

    I have enjoyed the leveling experience, it took my about 50 hours to hit level 60 which is the cap at the moment I am writing this. For the $20 I spent, the 50 hours of gameplay was well worth it. Not a game that draws me in for long periods of time, but I do truly enjoy playing it here and there

Graphically, it’s superb but the underbelly feels exposed, nothing else of worth has been developed on Lumberyard, so I guess we’ll find out.
    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.

    I participated in the beta version of New World and drifted off to other games before coming back to New World. They acted like I was getting all this great stuff when I pre-ordered, but I was not. They give you some new skins, but they are constrained. I thought I would get much more by being a part of the beta testing. I will also state that New World is becoming less popular as time goes on and not the other way around. Less and fewer people play this game. Also, during busy server time, I have to lower my graphics settings to remove game stutter. I think gameplay could get old, too, as New World is a borderline hack and slash game. I think the graphics are beautiful in this game and the design is well made. I like the Company system and faction system. This game is inexpensive compared to WoW or UO, which can run into the thousands if played for years. This game has a down payment, which allows it to include lower SES players than other MMORPGs. The market system is rewarding and straightforward. Resource gathering is pleasant, and the storyline is pretty good for an MMORPG. As for character development, there is no ceiling, which is interesting. Even after one maxes out their skills, there is a lot to do.

    UPDATE: I forgot to mention my input latency is unbelievable with this game. I get from 100 - 112 ms, and Ultima Online allowed me about half that amount, 50-70 ms. This considerable lag makes any chance of excelling in PvP obsolete. This point brings my review down to 8/10, still positive because there are many solo things someone can do in the game or PvE.

    The game supports gamers using Discord and makes ample opportunity to socially network with friends, which only enriches the gaming experience. NW supports the opportunity to use Discord through the development and maintenance of a Company, which is a guild. I found a guild that links to Discord, and there is much social input here, making the game a lot more fun. So, it is nice that NW supports this kind of connection through Companies. Because of NW's support, I leave my review one step higher, a 9/10.

    UPDATE
    I have heard gossip that this game's markets are rigged and easily cheated by players. Seeing that this is a very important aspect of the game, I cannot risk it and take down my rating to a 7/10.    … Expand

    New World came out for me during a time where I really needed a game to sink time into. It was almost the perfect game to come out for me. That being said I am not blind to it's flaws.

    New World is at it's core a very simple PVP focused MMO. It's gathering and crafting elements work fine enough to get the job done. It's combat system scratches the build crafting itch, but doesn't fulfill it. It's questing system is more or less just a way to dump XP and Gold on the player. But in the end I find it to be an alright game.

    First let's dive into the gathering and crafting system. The max level for both systems is 200, with gathering getting new things to gather and gathering speeds/luck with it's levels, and crafting getting new recipes, additional materials added when crafting, and item level boosts with it's levels. The gathering system is fine, although some of it's features like luck are not explained in game well enough. On the other hand the crafting system has it's flaws. Crafted gear while leveling is easily replaced by random drops or even PVP gear, and it just doesn't hold it's own. Each new material requires the previous material and a refining material. Meaning that say you want to craft Starmetal (tier 3 ingot) you need to farm Iron and Flux to make Steel, then farm Starmetal and Flux to make Starmetal. The last basic ingot (Orichalcum) needs 21 Iron Ingots and 9 Flux to make 1 ingot. Crafting is just one giant grind with lack of a pay off. I hope they revamp it, but I have little hopes.

    Combat in the game is very simple. You have 2 weapons each with 3 skills. Weapon skills that create buffs do not last when you swap weapons. Other than those 6 skills you have various passives and enhancements to those skills both in the skill tree and perks on equipment. There is also a dodge, light attack, heavy attack, and a block. That is your entire tool kit when it comes to combat. You can also use potions for healing, or special effects. There is food that can buff stats or heal. And finally there are combat items that serve basically no purpose since they last so little that you get almost no benefit from them. For example there is an item that buffs your attack for 3 seconds, but there is a consume time. So trying to use it would go something like this: Block incoming attack, consume item, block the incoming attack, item wears off. In PVE the simple combat and mechanics take away from the enjoyment making it essentially a hack and slash with less combos. In PVP however the simple kits work very well making feel almost more like For Honor (much less though) than usual MMO PVP.

    I'll touch on the story here...there's basically none. There is the shell of a story, but it isn't interesting and you'll most likely skip through it like everyone else. Sums up into this: Aeternum is a mysterious island with vast power, island is dangerous can corrupts all life it touches, you fight the corruption. This game was obviously design to be a PVP only game, but was turned into a mixture of PVP and PVE mid to late way through development. The PVP is flushed out miles a head of the none PVP elements.

    Finally I will touch on bugs and errors. The server issues that most negative reviews touch on were never a problem with me. I started on launch day making sure to choose a low population server. During peak times I maybe have a 100 person queue that lasts 5 minutes tops. This game is heavily pushed on Twitch, so if you are expecting to play on a server with your favourite streamer expect a queue. The game isn't missing a swimming animation, it just doesn't have swimming. Your character sinks to the bottom of water and you have about 10 seconds to get out or else you die. There is server desynch which causes some gathering nodes to not despawn after harvesting, so when you try to harvest those you the game doesn't let you. Some equipment have the wrong models so they appear different than their icons. Climbing on mountains not intended to be climbed on can result in you clipping through the world. In the end all the bugs I encountered didn't make the game unplayable and are by far better than some other AAA games that we have gotten recently.

    In the end I would give New World a 6.5. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it provides a fun experience without a monthly fee, or outlandish microtransactions. It isn't perfect by any means, and there are much better MMOs out there, but if you are looking for a taste of MMO this can fill your need.    … Expand

    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.
