    I'm having a great time playing World of Tanks, and that's not solely due to my affinity for the era. I truly appreciate playing a game that not only encourages strategy and teamwork, but also requires it for victory.

    World of Tanks on PlayStation 4 is as good as it ever was on PC and Xbox. It’s the focused, pared-down launch that every new platform gets from Wargaming, but there's plenty to digest. Taking time to line up a shot and punch through enemy armor makes the grind well worth it.

    There is no reason not to download World of Tanks immediately on your console: you can either play for free for hours and then go back to ordinary COD-like online arenas, or you can truly enjoy it and discover a tactical and original FPS.

    World of Tanks appears pretty late on the PS4 but does it with style. Playing without paid subscription eventually becomes tiresome but there's a big advantage: you don't need to pay for the PS Plus service. Owners of Sony's console have finally received a free, well made, pretty and engrossing war game.

    A great version of the acclaimed World of Tanks that offers the best packs and an improved technical aspect. Addictive as always and a good balance in its "free or pay" to play proposal.

    It’s as if you traveled to the past, changed some miniscule detail and time went along very similar but different timeline. On one hand, it’s the good old WoT prior to introduction of French tanks; on the other, now the valley on El Halouf map has a lot of vegetation instead of being a barren deathtrap, tank improvements are gained in packs, and weather has an effect on visibility. So even people who are sated with original WoT are prone to once again get that “just one more battle” syndrome. [Issue#207, p.66]

    This title marks the long-awaited debut of Wargaming on the Sony console. As with the Xbox One porting, the PS4 version of World of Tanks works very well, especially the controls. World of Tanks can be fun and addictive, and less tough than the PC counterpart, nowadays overcrowded by extremely skilled players.

    The PS4 edition of WoT is the prettiest of all HD versions but upon arrival offers less vehicles than its siblings on PC, Xboxes and even mobile devices. [03/2016, p.57]

    Finally, the most successful console of the moment, PlayStation 4, gets World of Tanks. Wargaming adds here new content, maps, game modes and exclusive tanks. This version is fantastic, and it's free.

    World of Tanks has arrived on the PlayStation 4 in spectacular fashion. It plays better than it ever has before on a console, looks fantastic and features some PS4-only content to add extra value.

    The core gameplay is wonderfully realized, making this free-to-play game very much worth getting into. Be prepared to withstand temptation, however, for money is still the easiest way to get to the good stuff.

    For now, there are a few things to be ironed out, but with constant updates and support, this is a game that will be worth coming back to as it evolves and changes in the future.

    World of Tanks stands out from the majority of free-to-play games by being tactically deep and generally quite different to the norm. There’s nothing new for existing players, and there’s a lack of game modes that could impair the longevity of your time with it, but World of Tanks is a fine blend of simulation and competitive multiplayer that’s well worth checking out.

The game is Free to Play with in-game purchases, which usually means they are trying to money-grab you, but the upgrades can be bought with in-game currency.

    The game has good graphics, with size-able battlefields that offer tons of obstacles and cover for you to sneak your tank through, including trees, rocks, houses, etc. The physics are great as well as you crash realistically into objects and other tanks and even run over fences and trees. The obstacles paired with the large amount of tanks that can be on the battlefield at once allows for quite a bit of strategy, and the big battles are so cool. There is a great diversity in tank upgrades, and lots of different types of tanks.

    Also, if you want a little something to do besides the normal game they do have a neat little mini game that is basically the same thing as the normal game, but it is top-down and is a survival mode where you are attempting to reach a high score. A good, solid experience.

    P2W garbage, rigged, unfair and dirty.

    Don't bother play this potato game. It's only created to get money from victims that think they will look better in score if they pay to buy tanks.

    In reality the staff running this thing, is full of dirty cheap people, trying to fix their friends, managing in the background everything from mm to rng.

    No fun, no interest, no fair play. Only dirty rigged gaming by a greedy lowest quality staff.

    So don't bother and never pay them.
