    ESO has been getting better with every expansion, and Stadia is by far the best place to play it. Playing your character on multiple devices, keyboard and mouse or control, feels and runs great!

    First MMORPG I've ever played on Stadia (we need more of them on the platform). From a Skyrim player perspective I was afraid I couldn't fully enjoy "the story" with all those characters in shiny armours fast travelling around, the art style was too much conventional for my taste, years and years of new content a bit intimidating. But gladly I've decided to jump in and I got sucked intoFirst MMORPG I've ever played on Stadia (we need more of them on the platform).

Probably much better than the new fantasy MMORPG everyone is talking about these days (you know which one).… Expand

    A good port of ESO, this is great to play on Stadia either with a controller or with a keyboard/mouse, and I love that you can switch seamlessly between the two!
    The game itself is a high quality expansion to ESO, but more of the same! If you like the main ESO game you'll enjoy this, but if it's already feeling repetitive, this sunny change that

    The game is fun especially with a group of friends or a partner. The gameplay is well made. There aren't much bugs rarely you will find that you get stuck on the terrain. The biggest issue with the game is one of it's best parts, the quantity of objectives. It is extremely easy to loss your self with how many objectives are in the game. It's an okay game.

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood delivers more of the same – albeit this new helping is a step up from last year’s Greymoor expansion in its often funny writing and striking map layout. Blackwood leans hard on its nostalgia, but it actually manages to feel like an appropriate prequel to Oblivion without forcing you down too many of the same paths. Its companion system is definitely worth checking out, too, but it may not be enough gameplay variety to recommit a fan who is tired of ESO in general. For those of us who are still happily jogging along on the treadmill, though, there’s plenty to do and see here, if for no other reason than to simply fortify your understanding of Elder Scrolls lore.

    Over the course of its expansions, The Elder Scrolls Online continues to deliver what is expected of it ... or almost. With Blackwood, the content available is certainly interesting, especially when you are a fan of Oblivion, but you should not expect more. By choosing to direct it towards new players, Zenimax Online is probably forgetting its hard core a little on the side of a road that is too monotonous. The observation made in 2019 as in 2020 is therefore the same here, and what could be understandable at the time is much less so in 2021 when the competition sometimes competes with ingenuity to surprise us. A first warning shot that must however be weighed in view of the work carried out on the lore, which is still as fascinating as ever.
