World of Warships: Legends is no simple conversion of the free-to-play PC version enjoyed by millions of players. The game has been built from the ground up to take full advantage of the power and capabilities of the current generation of Xbox gaming consoles. Faster and exhilarating combat, more options to develop your commanders, a revamped user interface, and console-exclusive content, World Of Warships: Legends is a unique experience for those with an Xbox One. Players can also look forward to regular updates and tons new content releasing in the future, with new nations of ships on the horizon and utilizing the power of legendary commanders, experience new maps and witness eye searing full 4K support on the Xbox One X. I'm really looking forward to see how much further the console edition of the PC smash success evolves over time. So far so good.… Expand

    WoWs L is a great game. However downsides are mostly bad maps and atrocious playerbase.

    The game is fun but the developer continuously makes questionable choices.

    This game is very fun, and unique. Naval combat genre is limited and legends fills a field of few choice, most of them old or poor quality. The primary challenge you will face is the design and game changes the developers make that at headstrong and tone deaf, against the player base's tastes and desires, and    The game is fun but the developer continuously makes questionable choices.

    This game is very fun, and unique. Naval combat genre is limited and legends fills a field of few
    choice, most of them old or poor quality. The primary challenge you will face is the design and game changes the developers make that at headstrong and tone deaf, against the player base's tastes and desires, and changes the game's direction and entire feel.

    At times the game will feel rudderless, with changes made that make a class of ship you may have invested a lot of time climbing the xp ladder for. The change may make that entire class of ship unplayable for a time, or change the game experience so radically that you no longer enjoy the gameplay, and you will feel like you have wasted a lot of time and money.

    Any purchases you make in the game for ships may be made suddenly unhappy ones as game design changes makes that ship no longer relevant to the game. With the price per ship being the price of an entire other game, it makes you feel cheated to have your ship become crippled or obsolete.

    I would not invest heavily in this game monetarily.

    Let's talk about the ship types:

    Battleships: By far the easiest class to play, they have large health pools, heals, and are very tough.
    The best choice to start out with.

    Cruisers: Lighter armor, less powerful guns, and more challenging to play. Natural predator of the Destroyer.

    Destroyers: The ninja warriors, they attack unseen, and can kill a battleship with torpedoes. Very satisfying to do given the small size, but the natural prey of cruisers and carriers.

    Aircraft carriers: The hardest ship class to play, it rewards long skill investment and practice.

    Overall, the most enjoyable class is the Battleship, everything else being personal choice and desire for further challenge.

    Summary:

    The game fills an empty void, and as pretty much the only game in town, they are the market leader. The game is fun and enjoyable.

    The Pros are naval warfare at a fast pace, with an arcade feel.

    The cons are a developer that does what it wants, with little to no care for the player base. They will make radical and severe changes that turn the game on it's head.

    I would wholly recommend you try this game, as it's fun. I would however caution you
    from investing in the game heavily.

    A fun but disposable free to play game, that survives solely by being in a limited competition market.    … Expand

    The game is addictive from the first minutes. The graphics are very realistic, it can be seen in small details and especially in the splashing of waves. The gameplay, colors, storyline, if I may say so, the line, everything in the game is maintained at a high level. One of the best naval games for me. The widest choice of ships, tactical solutions, places for naval battles. You can listThe game is addictive from the first minutes.

    A triumphantly tense and fast-paced naval combat game, continuing the World of's winning formula of offering highly polished and supremely fun free-to-play titles for console gamers.

    World of Warships: Legends is impressive, thanks to it excelling where it matters – brilliant performance, excellent controls, and streamlining that doesn’t noticeably cut into what made the game so much fun to begin with. Out on the water, in command of a large sea beast – reveling in a style of warfare we don’t often get to see. A simple premise that moves beyond the shallows, and into deep waters.
