    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.

    Here is a textbook example, where, due to the total greed of the developers, a once good and interesting project turned into a dirty donat trash heap. In pursuit of a long dollar, these poor marketing geniuses are constantly trying to cheat and cheat their audience for money. As an example. Previously, there was a fan-made tank destroyer ISU-152 in the game. She had an excellent BL-10 gun with huge penetration. Under the sauce of rebalancing WarGei replaced BL-10 with useless slag. Players stopped playing ISU-152. But after a year and a half, the developers put on sale a paid tank destroyer with a BL-10 gun. They just deceived everyone.

    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.

    Every single aspect of this game is designed to frustrate the players qnd convince them to pour in cash, which means the game itself, for the most part, provides no enjoyment.

Whether it is the first series of matches before your tank gets upgraded when you will not be effective against even tanks your own level, the mqtchmaking system which consisntely matches you with players 2 levels above you (whom you can't hope to even touch), the painfully slow rate at which XP is gained, everything feels like an uphill battle with no reward at the end.

    On top of that, putting money into the game doesn't do much either. Premium tanks (whoch cost as much as £40), cannot be upgraded beyond their level, so all the xp you earn with them, can only be converted (at a cost) for use on other tanks. The premium account (£10/m) gives you 1.5x xp and silver, but that is only applied to the base earnings (so no ops and no bonuses), so in the end, it's not such a noticeable diference.

    This is, like most free to play games, a waste of time where no matter how much money you put in, it will never be enjoyable - it's designed that way.    … Expand

    This game is awesome. Some reviews are giving it average scores because of what it is not. That is no way to review... This game IS deep, it DOES require understanding of the underlying mechanics, and it DOES require skill. Giving a game a lower score because it requires skill and is not a pick-up-and-play shooter is just amateur hour.

    A welcome surprise to see WOT on PS4. I logged a lot of hours on the 360 version, having several tier X tanks. The graphic and audio upgrades for the PS4 are very well done. Despite my large garage of tanks on 360, I've made the jump to PS4 and am moving up the trees I did not play previously.

Despite my large garage of tanks on 360, I've made the jump to PS4 and am moving up the trees I did not play previously.

    For the new player, you really need to give the game some time. Initially I played for weeks before I even realized you can auto-throttle with L3, or zoom with R3. The game seems simple but really getting a hang of the mechanics and strategy takes time. Also picking the right challenges really helps progress faster in the early stages.

    The other aspect that makes WOT so fantastic is that the offering of Tanks on PS4 as of launch is only a fraction of the tanks that will be available in the months to come. Personally I can't wait until they drop the British heavies in there so I can rack up the hits on those bumbling Churchills.

    Only minor issue I have with the PS4 version is the inability to "mute all" via the option menu. I have a much higher opinion of my teammates when I don't have to listen to them.    … Expand

    and all those keyboard/mouse "cheaters" dont have an advantage here(muahahaha). one can rock with the gamepad as well no problem to compete, which makes this one by far the best multiplayer shooter game on PS4 imho.

Controls are great, gameplay is fun, and it gives you lots of different modes to play and there's more than plenty tanks to play with and there's no pay-to-win, even if there is DLC. The only downside is is that updates take WAY too long. First, you need to download the update on your PS4 which takes long enough, then you have to install it in game which takes longer than installing the game. But this has been a problem for all consoles and there's a minigame you can play while you wait. Overall this is a really great game and is definitely worth getting… Expand

    There many good things about WoT on PS4, including variety in tanks, maps and events. However, it is an MMO game that plays much better with a premium subscription and it requires A LOT of grinding for better tanks and upgrades. One word of warning: many of the expensive premium tanks are not at all worth buying.

First of all, a lot of players do not play to win. These players play to add points to their own stats and camp base instead of moving to advanced positions where their tank is needed in an attempt to help teammates. These players might be clueless(which is doubtful because usually these campers are unicum or super unicum(the best player ratings in the game)) but experience shows that they don't want to win and only want to add to their stats. By camping, an average player(not even an advanced player)can deal more damage than they are dealt, get more kills than they are killed, and block damage from a good defensive position. Basically, once basic layouts are discovered an average player can get unicum status by being a camper and watching their team die. The worst part is that this is avoidable through teaching. However, instead of teaching and advising players where to go and how to use tanks, the advanced players remain quiet(i suspect they don't want to teach so they can face their teammates later and kill them easily). When players speak up trying to educate teams and misplaced tanks, the campers get offended and hostile making it an unfriendly environment for growth and advanced play style. More or less, a toxic environment void of internal advancement(one can advance play style by watching numerous videoes and reading a lot of articles). Next, the free to play gamers can stay effective if they know their tanks(see above mentioned how advanced players are uninformitive, basically jerks) and tank lines in game. Honestly, I've been playing since 2013 between PC and console and 90% of console players do not know map layouts or where to go with their tanks. It could be because they prefer to camp or it could be that they have no idea where to go or how to play their tanks. Its sad if you have a team half full of heavies and not one goes heavy line when there's 2 heavy lines on a map, or if you have two lights who both go down a heavy line and sit front line spotting nothing while the back half of the map is wrecked due to lack of spotting). On console, most unicum players know where to go to camp and watch their teams die while they pad stats. Its unfortunate that players aren't trying to advance the culture of world of tanks. Trying to make the game more diverse and including new players would further develop the game. Offering teaching techniques and speaking in game, opening dialog so players know how to use their tanks and how to angle their armor. It's surprising how many players don't know armor angles and even more surprising how many advanced players never teach this. All in all, shame on you World of Tanks community. You created and support a cringe worthy environment. An environment where players purposely back out to get bot matches(mainly cold war. Players can cancel game starts until they see a low amount of players in queue so they can fight AI and boost their scores by playing the game on easy mode. My 5 year old nephew doesn't even play on easy mode), an environment where teaching is frowned upon, an environment void of teamwork and community, an environment that is, to put it bluntly, dying. I know its been said for a few years now, World of Tanks is dying, and I never believed it. We have bots now... we have players who don't teach now... we do not have strongholds... we do not have clan wars... ground wars are gone. Shame on you World of Tanks community.… Expand

    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]
