If you like MMORPGs or Elder Scrolls games, there’s a good chance you’ll like Elder Scrolls Online. Few MMOs can benefit from such rich lore (except, of course, Star Wars: The Old Republic) and ESO takes full advantage of its fascinating universe.Īfter dealing with some growing pains and living in the shadows of World of Warcraft during its first couple of years, ESO has established itself as one of the top MMORPGs in the market.Ī radical change in its pricing model (a monthly subscription is no longer required), a steady flow of updates, and ambitions Expansions, have helped to keep the game fresh and the online community-engaged, both mandatory to stay relevant in the face of competition such as Final Fantasy 14.ĭespite its early problems, the original game netted a 71/100 Metascore while its latest Expansion, Summerset, did much better: With a rich story, plenty of side quests, crafting, battles and more, ESO allows you to explore the world of Tamriel as you wish, alone or with your friends. Set in the same universe but at an earlier time than previous games in the series, ESO features a wide-open world that you can explore and play in as you like.
First things first, is the game any good?
