    Incredible graphics, much more intense than tanks, already a ranking system and ranked games from day one! The more you level the more intense it gets with more to do in every classes (Destroyers, Cruiser, Battleships, Carrier).
    Can't wait to play Yamato, congratz!

    Awesome online game. Playing since launch, devs made tons of changes towards making it more cool.
    The PvE missions are super fun for those who get tired of PvP battles.

    Highly recommend!

    I have nearly 10 thousand games in WoWs. The game in incredibly entertaining, Making credits above T8 is quite difficult, but doable, for a free player. Some people say that the game is P2W, but it really isn't. There are only a few premium ships that are truly OP, and they have been removed from sale permanently. The gameplay is fun and the Visuals and sounds are immaculate. I have anI have nearly 10 thousand games in WoWs.

I have an i5-6500 and a 1050Ti and have the highest settings and still manage an easy 60fps. The game has many legal mods and a very active modding and competitive community, and has a major balance/feature patch every 3 weeks or so. I would recommend this game to anyone.… Expand

    This is a game that will give you a hard time.

    Like any contemporary game, a good graphics card is essential. Personally, I do it runs on an Asus ROG G501VW I7 equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M card. The graphics are beautiful without straining the fluidity. I think World of Warships is different from other MMOG. Group strategy (especially in divisional battles or clan battles),    This is a game that will give you a hard time.

    The graphics are beautiful without straining the fluidity.

    I think World of Warships is different from other MMOG.

    Group strategy (especially in divisional battles or clan battles), tactical sense, choice of positions, composure, reflexes, setting of ships and their captains... Everything comes together to immerse you in epic and thrilling battles.

    With nearly 20,000 games on the counter I'm not jaded, quite the contrary. With 4 classes of ships available in-game (destroyers, cruisers, battleships and aircraft carriers) and multiple nations, the gameplays of the units vary greatly.

    This is enough to satisfy your appetite and make it possible to find the ones that best suit to your style of play.

    When added to the possible settings for ship equipment and the skills of the captains, the possibilities are many.

    I recommend you acquire tiers V-VI quickly and familiarize yourself with them.
    Ships of these tiers are relatively easy to obtain and allow a good understanding of the arcane of the game.
    What's more, they're less expensive than higher tiers.
    The results won't take a long time to come.
    This will allow you to build up a war chest (which will be very useful for your progression to tiers VIII-IX-X) and to claim to join a clan.

    If you want the adventure, I will have great pleasure in sponsoring you. This will give you advantages reserved for godets.

    See you soon on the seven seas.

    Просто замечательная игра, которую я установил по рекомендации хорошего друга и стал ее настоящим поклонником. Здесь все бои и корабли продуманы буквально до мелочей, в результате чего все бои принимают совсем другой оборот и более насыщенный. Графика, звук, интерфейс - все сделано на высшем уровне и для людей.

    I very much like this game for 2 reasons, one its pretty fair and reasonable the ships are easy to control and are fun to "drive" around in and two it actually doesnt absorb your wallet since the silver you get is in the bucket full ive got over 1 million and havent once used the doubloons in the game so it really is just something to save time but not mandatory so it earns my respect this game.

However, I'm here to talk about World of Warships (WoWS). Offering many of the same appeals of WoT, WoWS solves many of the former's issues. However, WoWS is (arguably) the exact same type of game albeit with a much more obvious level of complexity. Ultimately, WoWS is firing and maneuvering. Whereas WoT players sometimes found themselves hopelessly outmatched against higher tiered vehicles and tank types (heavy, medium, light and destroyers) mattered little to the metagame (camo and DPM), the different classes of warships (battleships, cruisers, destroyers and aircraft carriers) have significantly more distinctive playstyles. As a result, WoWS players will never feel incapable of affecting the outcome of a battle as WoWS rewards intelligent play in away WoT does not. Although a completely different game, WoWS will feel serendipitously familiar to WoT players who remember feeling excited at the prospect of a game with so much potential and opportunity for growth. I truly recommend that you give it a shot.… Expand

    I've remained interested in this game for two years now. I am still finding out new things. It's not pay to win either, premium ships will earn you more credits, but everything boils down to the skill of its captain. It's amazing how much military history, attention to detail, and nuance they have packed into this game (shell arms, muzzle velocity) -- and they keep making it better.I've remained interested in this game for two years now.

Wargaming listens to its players and makes adjustments; yes, some people never agree, but they keep it fresh with ranked play, new ships, maps, game modes (called Operations). Divisioning up with 3 team members makes controlling flanks easier, so look to real strategy in the map. If you're looking for just something to sail broadside against a legendary German battleship, this game is not for you.… Expand

    Divertido, adictivo, buenas gráficas y jugabilidad. La curva de aprendizaje es baja y la dificultad aumenta en función del tier. Los barcos están muy bien logrados y el balance entre los barcos está bien (mas alla de algún barco que esté roto por un tiempo).

    Very Fun Game. Great for kids who like strategy games and has NO violence at all, great for the whole family. I have a rest in the game, it allows me to think, but not to relax. In general, everything is clear and I would like more prizes. While playing, you just don't notice how time flies. The design is bright and colorful. I recommend everyone to try this game. It's fun and exciting.

    We need more games like this, they are made with great detail and affection, it is not a game to run, if not to enjoy the adventure. Just look at this graphic! A really very good game. Everything works without problems and complaints. I really liked the interface and the functionality of the game itself. The game is excellent, does not slow down, does not throw it to the desktop. I recommend.

The carrier game play could use some work, it is fun and interesting since its kind of a different game with RTS elements.

    It's pretty much the only game that let's you play with WW2 warships. And it looks beautifully at that. But it is as grindy as Word of Tanks is, also lots of warships are only available in premium shop at absurd prices (up to €60 for a ship).

It's very similar to World of Tanks (duh, the game engine and the developer are the same, and even the premium membership benefits are shared across the titles), but now the battles happen on water. Once again: ten vehicle tiers to advance through per tech branch, captains (crew) to level up, XP and credits to earn by damaging enemies each round. I prefer this game over Tanks, however, because the pace is slower, more premium is placed on positioning and sticking together, and simply because I love ships more than I like any other war machines from WW2. And since there is no other battleship game of this scope and quality currently out (Navy Field 2 is utter trash, unfortunately), I will be playing WoWs for the foreseeable future.

    What could be better about this game? I would like some more complexity in ship loadouts. I used to play Navy Field 1 in the early 2000's, and I wish that WoWs had some of its features. The number of upgrades for each ship is rather limited (compared to Tanks, for example) and the different modules don't change the stats all that much (compared to Tanks once again). I remember Navy Field 1 having 5 different gun options for a ship, the armor was customizable (i.e. how much armor do I want to put on deck, belt, or torpedo bulge?), different types of FCS (Fire Control System) gave different benefits (manual was extremely accurate because you had to aim the guns manually with the keyboard, and the auto ones were easier to use but had different distance/accuracy trade-offs), and different engines had different accelerations/max speeds/overheat values. Mounting this equipment had to be balanced against your ship''s displacement: a ship can only carry so much weight, so big heavy guns left less displacement for armor, engine, and even crew (yup, you could even determine how many sailors per position, which would affect the crew's performance negatively or positively). In WoWs, you'll usually find one upgrade for each of the systems: hull, FCS, engine, guns/torpedoes, and each of the upgrades is marginally better than the previous one. For example, the FCS gives a straight upgrade of 10% more range. How about giving us 2 or 3 FCS options that change accuracy, range, and perhaps view distance in different proportions? One would give much better accuracy but decrease range, another would increase both slightly etc. Or engines: right now the upgraded engine increases the top speed of the ship slightly over the stock one, why not give us different engines that affect acceleration, top speed, reverse speed in different ways? I would love to see some variety and complexity in the modules.

    All this being said, the game is still evolving with new features being added on a consistent basis. Just like Tanks evolved over the years with many features, new game modes, and vehicles being added, I am sure WoWs will evolve along the same lines. If you have played Tanks in the past, take this game for a spin. If you never played a War Gaming title ever before but you like ships, then there is nothing stopping you from trying it either. It's free to play!!!    … Expand

    I got into WoWS after Silent Hunter IV - a very realistic and fun naval game, albeit effectively single-player only. In general I enjoy complex, realistic high-risk high-reward games.

In general I enjoy complex, realistic high-risk high-reward games. Many of the reviews here complain about things that I like, i.e. that the game's mechanics are non intuitive and require some study, i.e. that sometimes you get teamed up with people who've got no clue what they are doing - well, that's the opportunity to prove that YOU do know what you're doing! By wiping out half the enemy's team or solo-capturing all the control points. Been there done that. Not many times, but the opportunity is always there.

    Unlike many MMOs, this one doesn't lend itself that much to creating persistent player communities (guilds, clans, corporations, etc). They introduced the "fleet" feature but in my experience it isn't used that much. Most people myself included play either random encounter or the rank encounter, which also uses random per-battle player matching but keeps track of your rank as you win or lose each fight. The rank-based games keeps team sizes to 7 vs 7 so every player feels (and is, in theory) significant.

    Some people here complain it has a p2w model. It's more like "pay to get the high-level ships" - it's true that once you get to lvl 7 ships you're gonna be wasting most of your reward for a fight for "fixing" the ship - which is highest if you get sunk in a battle, which happens roughly half the time if you're an average player.

    Paying doesn't affect your win chances, average score per battle, rank among other teammates or average damage dealt in any given fight though. Those are some of the metrics that can be used to tell who "wins" at the game and who... not so much.

    I have a lvl 8 cruiser and in all honesty the game doesn't get dramatically different from lvl 5-6. I'd say lvl-5 is where each race-shipclass combination gets "established" in concept, i.e. "Jap destroyers and very stealthy and have good torps but weak guns and weak smokescreens". Or "Battleships have long-range artillery", or "Russian/Soviet destroyers have artillery rangle almost like that of cruisers". lvls 1-4 are kinda wildcard for every ship - i.e. the japs have a lvl-3 battleship which is anything but long-range, and is very misleading as someone's first ship of the class.

    Some say MatchMaking is terrible - IDK what you guys smoke, honestly. If anything, it works very well, I've yet to see an unbalanced team once.

    The game is evolving - not so long ago weather effects were added, although they don't seem to affect gameplay mechanics much (i.e. detection range and aircraft efficiency doesn't change during a storm).

    The pros:
    + Good balance and variety of ships. It can throw a few oddballs at you on the lower levels, but once you reach lvl-5: if you loose, it's your own fault, not the ship's. There are four ship classes but the race matters a lot too. Sometimes I feel like Soviet and U.S. destroyers are almost closer to Jap cruisers than to Jap destroyers.
    + Good graphics and mechanics. Some MMOs have graphics, physics bugs and glitches, teleporting around. Have yet to see any in WoWS. Feels like LAN game playing with people across the world.
    + Lots of tactics you can employ depending on your ship class. Every ship class has roles but sometimes going outside of what you're expected to do pays off too.

    The cons:
    - Grind/Pay wall. Pay either $$ or insane amounts of time to progress. Getting past lvl 7 without paying is... Well, let's say it would require almost insane skills, a league above the median player - surviving with minimal damage AND winning most of your battles.
    - Very limited options and incentive for creating persistent player teams.
    - No persistent world (yet). But I've heard they are working on creating more "MMO elements.". Area sieges, sovereignity, open world battles... It would be nice if they added that, but that would be a different game entirely.
    - No submarines. I understand the balance issues that made the devs write them off (there were subs in the first alpha versions, but they didn't find a way to balance them). It's not a bad thing per se, just mildly disappointing for those who'd love to see submarines in a game about WWII naval warfare.    … Expand

    The basic game play mechanics are sound with excellent graphics and a large stable of unlockable ships to play as. The combat mechanics are a breath of fresh air in the war simulator market. Though the mechanics can become stale over time, but the continual grind to unlock the next tier of ships helps break up the monotony. Overall the game is solid and very enjoyable.

    My few bits of criticism of this game is that at some tiers of play, higher level ships are actually worse than lower ships. That coupled with the minimal rewards for matches compared to repair costs makes it quite obvious this is a pay to win game...or at the very least, pay to keep your ship floating. I upgraded my tier 5 Japanese destroyer (Minekaze) to the tier 6 destroyer (Mutsuki), and despite it being the EXACT same ship except for more powerful torpedoes, was a step BACKWARDS in overall performance. Slower ship, slower turns, faster to get dead.

    Then there is the grind.....oh my god. IF you have the time to invest, awesome for you. But even the first tier carriers require such massive amounts of xp to get the next ship in the line that you could potentially be playing that ship for a looooong time, especially the Japanese carriers, which almost ALWAYS seem to get thrown against an American carrier where their planes chew yours up with ease despite you upgrading your planes to be a "match" for them. On my Japanese carrier, I have been playing it for 2 weeks and am STILL nowhere close to getting the next tier as I barely get 500 xp for losing a fight, which almost always happens.

    Even if you win a fight, it is still pretty meager in the rewards. Had my best game ever in a Destoryer the other night....5 kills, 50+ hits, 7 cit hits, 5 fires started, I was a rock star. Rewards....4th highest in xp (seriously), 150k cash, not even 1500 xp. Pretty **** rewards for someone who was basically the MVP of the team.

    No game will ever be "perfect"...not even the almighty Warcraft. But what this game gets right, it REALLY gets right which is the detail of the ships. Stats, damage dealt(or taken), expenses, and rewards (both xp and cash) could stand to use some tweaking.    … Expand
