    Everything in the Greymoor chapter is wonderful through and through. The new story is engaging and dark, and the new Antiquities system gives a nice break from running around saving Tamriel. I am always amazed by the work put into each new expansion to The Elder Scrolls Online and every time it exceeds expectations. I look forward to the rest of the DLCs coming out this year as a part of the Dark Heart of Skyrim event. And, if last year is anything to go off of, I am excited to see if Eastern Skyrim will be open to explore by the end of the year. Only time will tell, and I cannot wait!

    This chapter of ESO ist full of Skyrim nostalgia, but suffers from a weak story and a lack of innovations.

    This was clearly a labour of love. The team creating the Elder Scrolls Online sure love the world of Tamriel, and it shows when they’re able to create a great chapter that stands on its own merit; even when it’s standing on the foundations of the fifth game in the series. Greymoor has a short but exhilarating story that left me ready for what’s to come in the future. Western Skyrim is gorgeous and a joy to explore. It gothic setting is a refreshing change in ESO, and if what’s to come is as good as this, I’ll happily find myself coming back to enjoy what’s on offer.

    The Elder Scrolls Online is still growing with Greymoor, a new chapter that feels special. We return to Skyrim in a great war against the vampires, and it's fun and very nostalgic.

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor is an enjoyable experience, but ultimately falls flat when comparing it to the rest of the franchise.

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor offers a nostalgic return to the northwestern corner of Skyrim, but its formulaic story isn't as compelling.

    It's more of an 8/10 but this game got an undeserved review bomb from people clearly not used to mmo launches so it deserves some karmic reversal.

    Capítulo muito bom, a ambientação é fenomenal mas a história não acaba no fim. O desfecho final vem na dlc Markarth e é muito bom.

    Bad writing, bad performance, bad servers, abysmal customer service.

Most frustrating game I've played in a long time, where you really feel like you're worth nothing as a player or a customer.

    The performance in this game keeps getting worse with each DLC or expansion. Instead of improving the game, ESO's just piling up the bugs. The writing is also getting far worse, less creative, more lukewarm and moved by the biases of the amateur writers ZOS hires, and getting worrying "woke". The quests no longer have the bite of the single player games, or even of the quests from early ESO, and there's certainly none of the imaginative and daring writing from Daggerfall or Morrowind. They inherited a great franchise built by better devs, and are at this point gutting the Elder Scrolls series and wearing its skin.

    The worst thing is all the good things ESO inherited from previous Elder Scrolls games, and even the good things Greymoor inherited from the previous expansions, but instead of being built up on they are ignored or even destroyed.

    It is not a good Elder Scrolls game, and it is not a good MMO.

    I waited 1 week to test the game and form an opinion before writing this review.
    Elder scrolls online is a good game with the potential to be the best MMORPG on the market, but everytime they have the chance for improvement.... they mess it up. I have no idea why ESOs white knights defend it so desperately.

    Zenimax Media (ZOS, Bethesda,etc.) is a billion dollar company and we deserve better!
    Every Addon, every event and every patch is a god damn mess, they treat the game like a cash cow and that's really sad! The crown store is constantly filled with new items and dlcs to buy but performance and server stability isn't on par with other MMOs 6 years after release.

    Sorry but in my opinion Greymoor wasn't worth the 40€ I paid for it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Due to the repeated failure of improving their servers to a point where new expansions are playable upon release I feel there is no choice but to rank this as low as I have. The game has been out a full day now and the servers are still yo-yo’ing without apology from the devs.

    This results in daily chains being missed, subscribers losing out on their money’s worth etc.

    Not only are the servers unable to handle the player base, resulting in frequeant skill delay, unplayable modes such as cyrodil but they also fail to fix almost decade old bugs.

    The actual content is good... to some extent. New gear options (however this comes at a cost of huge nerds to existing gear and having to redo content for ‘upgraded gear’ which players already had ) this is akin to a WOW gear treadmill where new patches release new gear exponentially forcing players to gring.

    However the retroactive removal of established traits and play styles and replacement of ones which entirely ruin the aforementioned play styles renders a lot of the new vampire werewolf content unplayable. This is especially true for a huge proportion of players who ran these lines for the passives which are no longer viable.

    I reccomend buying greymoor as a casual game, don’t get too invested, don’t buy eso plus.
    However, this opens up new builds for a larger variety of builds focused solely on the respective curses. Namely tank werewolf.

    Having playing this for two days now, there are even more bugs than I imagined. Scrying, the new skill line, you are often kicked mid scry resulting in losing all your progress and the chains of symbols resetting often messing up your progress. New vampire skills are just re skins of old skills.
