I’m a fan, not usually an MMO player but decided to dive in despite the mixed reviews. Have played 20 hours so far and here are some impressions…
The world is lovely and feels vast without being boringly generated. The aesthetic is great and the loot and progression feel fair and linear.
Some of the questing has a little of the constant “go here and get that, bring that back” vibe but the locations and things required (so far) have been varied enough for this not to become tedious.
The combat feels like a simplified version of dark souls but in a good way (hope that makes sense!). I’m yet to engage in PvP so that might be something else.
I’d recommend, I’m having a good time with it and have had no problems with queues (EU Central).
Happy questing!
