    The Elder Scrolls Online is not the best Elder Scrolls-game nor the best MMO. However, we did love spending tens of hours in Tamriel and this huge world does not seem to grow old quick. There are some flaws, but those are not even big enough to mention as in the end, Tamriel Unlimited is very entertaining, especially now that there are no subscription costs anymore.

    The action-based battle system is still a lot of fun. No skill, no kill, that's a lot more entertaining than standing around and clicking to rotate certain actions.

    The Elder Scrolls Online is a solid MMORPG, with content for hundreds of hours and playable with no monthly fees. Ultimately, this Tamriel Unlimited confirms to be the best edition for those who want to delve into the fantasy world created by Bethesda twenty years ago.

    Same old grind, same old lags, still no content promised to be delivered “just after the game’s release”. [06/2015, p.58]

    The pvp is very funny and needs strategy, and every class is important in it.

    - Grouping Tool needs some love
    - Endgame PvE isn't as good as it could be (especially when dungeons are so well designed)

    I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. ESO is the best game to have come in years. Amazing how they turned it all around. Go buy it.

    I spent almost a month in game, started January 2016. So far i give it 10/10.

    1) Graphics - perfect, 2) Atmosphere - immersing, 3) Combat system - great combination of standard RPG and FPS genres, 4) Character development - best seen so far in MMORPGS, with dozens of viable builds for every class, 5) Performance & stability - had absolutely no issues yet, though, I hear there is lag in "Cyrodil" PVP zone, 6) Payment mode - "Free to play" - it is really "F2P", and not "Pay to win", but some end game content is inaccessible without buying expansions ( or "Downloadable content" / "DLC") how developer calls them.

    I am close to character level 50 now, which was "vanilla" maximum level. The grind is getting harder, and I hear that biggest grind is yet to come in terms of leveling veteran rank from 1-16. We shall see :)

    Game is enjoyable enough but extremely poor balanced for endgame because of "Champion Points".
    Old players essentially have an unlimited advantage over new players.

    Objective type of game play is non existent in pvp.

    Graphics are the best in the genre.

    They ran this game into the ground. Their “DLC” is like stacking more trash onto a teetering garbage heap with a loose foundation. I playedThey ran this game into the ground. Their “DLC” is like stacking more trash onto a teetering garbage heap with a loose foundation. I played 1000’s of hours and the game has only gotten worse since 2017. It was salvageable if they could have focused on gameplay instead of creating more “content” behind paywalls. Their content is just reskinned zones with fetch quests and a few must haves to stay in the competitive loop. You just feel used for your money when you are paying $15 a month and you have to buy a $60 expansion every year that ends up being free if you buy the chapter next year. They only screw over their loyal base of players. The pvp used to be kinda fun but they completely screwed up the class identity and the pvp content has been the same for 6 years. Expand
