    With its "monstrous" content, great controls and the creation of a megaserver for the whole of Europe, it's certain you'll spend many hours with this one. But beware of the annoying issues its design has between the single and multiplayer experience.

    The Elder Scrolls Online has received a number of fixes, but other shortcomings still persist.

    Tamriel Unlimited is a good porting, but the game on console suffers from the same conceptual problems of the PC version. Try it if you are a fan of The Elder Scrolls saga only.

    Massively enjoyable and massively frustrating.

    Caught somewhere between a reverence for its forebears and an unwillingness to forgo MMO traditions, The Elder Scrolls Online is a hybrid game that's exciting and off-putting in equal measure.

    Even by carrying the immersive experience of any The Elder Scrolls game, it fails to deliver a strong, solid MMORPG experience. It lacks in many aspects that are quite common in the genre, making the experience incomplete and focused in what every game in the franchise does well.

    An average game for MMO fans, although it has quite a few issues that need to be fixed. The biggest problem is that it tries to lure fans of other genres without showing them the basics. With that in mind, along with Tamriel Unlimited's average visuals, buying this game is something that has to be carefully considered.

    The casual nature of The Elder Scrolls Online helped Bethesda in this console version that shows the pros and the cons of the PC version.

    The console porting is good from a technical standpoint, but the game remains the same: a "classical" MMORPG that arrived a bit too late to the party.

    This is a nice RPG and a bad MMO. The game is playable without subscriptions and it offers a lot of content to explore. Playing together with other gamers still is not really working properly. It is too bad this game does not impress, even though the development system for characters and the PvP are fun.

    If you stripped away the sluggish combat and hollow questing, you’d be left with the most gorgeous fantasy hiking simulator this side of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

    The Elder Scrolls Online features entertaining quests, dynamic combat, and a whole lot of other people. Sadly, those other people largely feel like an unnecessary addition to the game.

    Its simplistic design means TESO feels like little more than an Elder Scrolls-themed amusement park. [Aug 2015, p.88]

Extremely nice, good graphics, the movements is just unbeatable. I have played the PC version for months and in P4 is game is just as good. The game is for single and multi players, the gamer actually can choose how to play, single or multiplayer. Extremely fun game to play with friends, one thing that is just horrible would be voice chat over zone, some guys have no manners, it is not the game's fault but they should remove it, after all people sucks.… Full Review »

    Great game. Solid story, great combat. The game features around 600 hours of content if you don't rush it and take your time to explore. AndGreat game. Solid story, great combat. The game features around 600 hours of content if you don't rush it and take your time to explore. And then there's also PvP. It is no doubt one of the best and the biggest MMO games to-date.

    Bumpy launch will be fixed guys. Have patience! :)    … Full Review »
