    A great expansion for a pretty good MMORPG. Summerset is a good way to start your adventure inside The Elder Scrolls Online.

    Summerset is a wonderful expansion for fans of ESO and people looking to jump in. The expressive new soundtrack and change of scenery are elegant and grandiose, and the detailed landscape provides endless corners and coves to explore. As expected, the lore is incredibly deep and offers an intimate opportunity to get to know the striving, high-brow Elves who inhabit the land.

    For those who have been playing The Elder Scrolls Online consistently, Summerset is only a natural progression to continue with, but for people who have taken a break and are looking for an excuse to get back in the game or people who have been curious to start, this is a great place to resume or start an adventure.

    Fun by yourself and with others too, Summerset doesn't add much to the formula but will entertain for all of its thirty hours or so.

    The Elder Scrolls: Summerset might try to scratch that The Elder Scrolls itch we are all getting lately. It tells a good story, it offers new contents for new and returning players, it unlocks a new line of interesting spells and abilities.

    Good content for an MMORPG that continues to stay in good shape.

    Summerset in Elder Scrolls Online offers an all new area, but not much is new for long-term players of the game. The aesthetic of the isles has long been available in the core game, and while the additions of jewelry crafting, collectables, the Psijic Order, and the Cloudrest trial are all nice there just isn’t anything that rises to the level of bringing back old dormant players nor introducing new ones. Dedicated players and those who play competitively will need to have this, however.

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is another easy expansion to recommend to existing players. It's stuffed with high quality quests, and the island itself makes for an inviting and enjoyable setting. Developer ZeniMax Online Studios has found a real consistency with its output, and the future continues to look bright for Tamriel.

    It's a great way to get involved in TESO, and even though there's not a lot of new stuff it's still worth giving it a go.

    What a **** mess. This game should have gone totally F2P years ago. Heavy microtransactions and a steep "premium" subscription on top of theWhat a **** mess. This game should have gone totally F2P years ago. Heavy microtransactions and a steep "premium" subscription on top of the initial charge for everything past the Morrowind "chapter" of what is otherwise a solid--if inconsistent and confusing--action MMO.

    Still--it's a fun romp with friends. It's like a TES-themed westernized modern version of TERA with an interesting, but shallow setting and writing. Keep one's expectations low, and you'll have fun.

The game works well on consoles, and it is a pretty relaxing experience with fitting controls and graphics. The best way to play the game is on PC, but if you only have a console and want a long and relaxing game to explore and quest in, then you will like this game, especially the expansions. Full Review »
