    Journeying through the Necrom Chapter on my new Arcanist was loads of fun. The new Arcanist class is very powerful, feels amazing to heal on, and has some of the most satisfying visual and sound effects I have ever seen in a class. The Apocrypha zone is a visual masterpiece, and Telvanni Peninsula makes you feel right at home in Morrowind. The main story was very engaging with a huge plot twist, and I can’t wait to see how it all ends. This Chapter is a must-have for Elder Scrolls fans.

    Even if the expansions are structured similarly every year, Necrom stands out with its great story and a very special environment. In addition, the new arcanist is quite action-packed and, with the crux-mechanic, also slightly more complex to play than the previous classes.

    The Necrom expansion of The Elder Scrolls Online stands out for its captivating atmosphere and richly detailed setting. The presence of Hermaeus Mora and the introduction of the Arcanist class add a surprising depth to the gameplay. Despite some potential improvements, the expansion offers a compelling new experience and reaffirms that ESO is destined to remain a force in the world of MMOs.

    Another solid chapter with a lot to keep you invested, the only real complaint is that it’s more of the same. An interesting cast of supporting characters and the core mystery keeps the campaign engaging.

    Necrom combines a wonderful story, stunning areas, and a fun new Arcanist class with overly tedious combat.

    The Elder Scrolls Online Necrom is the expansion that was needed for a game that was beginning to feel the weight of the years. The new maps are fun to explore and unique, full of points of interest and charismatic enemies to face. Furthermore, the lore in which Zenimax Online has sunk his hands to write the plot is dark and mysterious: we can't wait to discover its future developments for the world of Tamriel. Finally, the class that signs the DLC, the Arcanist, is fun to use and flexible, as well as the one with the most rewarding learning curve and the most "explosive" rotations. Seeing is believing.

    For both newcomers and long-time players, The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom is a chapter that stands on its own. While previous knowledge of the game is not necessary to enjoy the self-contained story, it adds depth to the ongoing Shadow Over Morrowind narrative that unfolds throughout 2023 and beyond. The new environments may be a little “samey” and there might be a lack of extra content afterwards, but with the captivating storyline, the introduction of the Arcanist class, and a plethora of content to explore, Necrom is a recommended addition to the MMO.
