Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Play all classes with one character

You don't have to create a different character for every single class. Your one character can be every single class. Each class has a specific weapon (bow for archers, daggers for rogue, axes for marauders, etc.), and you just equip that weapon type and your character switches classes. Each class starts at level, so you have to level each class you want to play, but there are numerous ways to get exp so it feels a little less like a grindy chore. See More

Top Con

Mandatory dungeons throughout leveling

Many wouldn't consider this a con, but some would rather learn their class in peace without having to run a dungeon already at level 15-17 with a bunch of potentially hostile strangers. No one might end up being hostile in the game, but forcing players into dungeons just to continue the story is a little annoying. See More

Steve's Experience

I had initially tried out the beta on the PS3 to see what Final Fantasy XIV was like. That short amount of time resulted in me falling in love with the game. The story has been great, minus a section between the initial end of A Realm Reborn and the first expansion Heavensward. There is a lot of stuff to do in the game to keep people occupied. There content for the casual players all the way to the hardcore involving races to see which group will be the first to completed the hard modes of the 8 man raids. And when you need a break from combat, you can play Triple Triad, gather materials to make new clothing to update your look or make money, or my favorite, go fishing. See More

The story is incredible

Most MMORPGs don't offer much in the way of a story line, but that is not the case with FFXIV. The story will span the entire world, and is completing it is actually a requirement to get into most of the game's content. However, it doesn't feel like you're being forced into following a story you don't care about, the characters get into your head and you begin to feel like an actual hero. It's very well written, and can be listened to in multiple languages if you prefer that. See More

Top Con

If you play as a DPS prepare to have long wait times for dungeons (over an hour is possible)

Then when it comes to raiding, if you are someone who plays this game alone a lot of the content is hard to impossible to beat without a set party that knows the details and talks the plans through. See More

IntellectualKutkh's Experience

The game is beautiful. Really, beautiful, not a single reason to not like the graphics at all. Also, all classes in a single char? Yes please! I miss this in every other mom I play after playing this one. Also, NPC are just cute as hell, you can marry a friend, the gathering and crafting system is quite good and sell good as well. This is just perfect.... Well, almost. Paying that much per month is a con. See More

Top Pro

There is more than just combat, such as gathering, crafting, and playing a card game

In addition to all of the combat classes, Final Fantasy XIV offer classes involved with gathering materials and crafting items from materials. As a gathering class, you can mine, harvest and fish for resources that can be sold on the market board to earn to money. Gathering resources is also benefical if you choose to level up crafters, which can make weapons and armor used for leveling up characters or creating a custom look, as well as making food and furniture for housing. There is also a card game called Triple Triad where you can play against NPCs or even other players to collect more cards and try to make the best deck possible. See More

Top Con

Pay to play

The game itself has a base price of $9.99, but also has expansion pack prices that could be added on top of that. This is just to get the game, once purchased the player will also need to pay a monthly subscription of $12.99 to continue playing the game, which can add up over time making for a pretty steep investment for some. See More

EmpatheticSirara's Experience

pay to play, pay to win, pay to speed up progession, mandatory party quests, long dungeon timers. Sites recommending this game as the top or best free to play MMO is more than likely just part of its marketing. See More

Top Pro

An absolutely stunning game

Final Fantasy XIV is gorgeous. The developers clearly put a lot of time and energy into creating all types of climates, ranging from harsh, desolate deserts to untamed, icy wastelands. The cities and villages in this game are vibrant and alive, while the cinematics can be dreary and depressing. Apart from the landscapes, the spells and abilities of this game will take you by surprise. Every ability is animated very well, and has gorgeous pixel designs to pull you even further into the game.

It's Pay to Play

Don't want to keep running into paywalls? Don't like Pay to Win? Don't like ending up spending x times a monthly subscription would cost on so-called "free" games? Well luckily, games like FFXIV are still there for you. See More

Top Pro

Combat is very in-depth

The combat in FFXIV is incredibly polished. It requires quick, real-time decisions and reactions, as well as a plan for how your team is going to take on whatever you're fighting. Like many games, it begins as simply hitting your attack buttons and waiting for your abilities to be ready again. FFXIV, however, has taken it a step further and has implemented complex combos and other interactions. These other interactions often have wildly different end results, so you must decide how best to use them. See More

Top Pro

Plenty of side-quests to keep the player busy

For those that would like to level their character without having to d a lot of grinding in dungeons or the main story, There is quite a lot of side-quests on offer in this game. So many in fact that the player could level up through mainly side-quests if they liked. Every area the player reachers will see plenty of NPCs that will offer a new quest to go out on (an even sometimes multiple quests), which not only means a ton of content but an actual story to the game (that is different from the main quest) that can keep the player involved without feeling like they are repeating the same things over and over again.

Path of Exile

Top Pro

Hundreds of possible character builds

There's a staggering amount of builds and skills you can try out in Path of Exile. There are 7 classes, 19 subclasses, 194 active skill gems, 107 support gems, and over 1000 skill nodes on the expansive skill tree. As a result, there are hundreds of possible combinations, allowing you to spend hours theory-crafting just to create the perfect build. Even if you don't feel like planning out a build from scratch, you can just look up one of the many guides online and get straight into the action. See More

Top Con

Endgame can get really repetitive

It takes an exceptionally long time to get any wealth, useful items, or access to endgame bosses in this game. You endlessly farm the same maps, hoping you'll get lucky with a few good items, but that usually won't be the case, which can be really discouraging to keep playing. This is made worse by the fact that your character progression comes to a grinding halt near the upper 80s of character levels, requiring you to buy insanely expensive items to feel any progression at all. If you don't like grinding, you'll get quickly bored of Path of Exile. See More

Feels exhilarating to play

While the gameplay might feel a little slow and clunky in the beginning, it gradually picks up speed as you progress, allowing you to swiftly destroy large groups of monsters with any skills you choose. Whether you're shooting ice arrows with your bow, freezing and shattering every enemy on-screen, or if you're cleaving enemies with a massive axe, causing them to bleed and explode on death, it just feels incredibly satisfying.

Great setting

Path of Exile is set in a dark fantasy world where everything is gradually becoming worse. At the foreground, you have the massive continent of Wraeclast that once was the home to a flourishing empire, but now is a place filled with the undead, evil spirits, ruins, and echoes of the past. To make matters worse, malicious entities from another dimension seek to corrupt the world and its inhabitants, giving birth to disfigured monstrosities that seek to end you. The end result is an immersive setting with dark motifs, body horror, loads of gore, and a very tense atmosphere, which is refreshing in an era dominated by family-friendly content. See More

Unrestrictive class system

ESO's character system is based on skill lines; each class provides three. There are dozens of other skill lines, including all weapons and armor, which are open to all characters. Resource stats (Health, Stamina, Magicka) aren't tied to class either. This means any character can use any gear and be built to fill any role. See More

Top Pro

Immersive first person play

While the game can be played in third person (which may work better in PvP), there is an option to play in first person view which keeps in tradition of the view found in other Elder Scroll titles. This gives this MMO the feeling of playing Skyrim or Oblivion, which should appeal to those who are fans or familiar. It is also a unique way to play an MMO, which could appeal to those tired of traditional third person view MMOs. See More

Elder Scrolls games have always placed the world's unabashedly bizarre mythology in the forefront, and ESO is no exception.

Top Pro

Limited skill bar encourages build variety

There are only six skill slots (five regular, one "ultimate") available at any one time. A character can swap between two equipped weapon sets, making at most 12 total skills available in combat. With well over 100 skills to choose from, finding two characters with exactly the same build is the exception, not the rule. See More

Top Pro

High build variety keeps PvP interesting

Though "flavors of the month" will arise in any competitive game, ESO's versatile characters and MOBA-like limitation on simultaneous skill availability greatly reward creative builds and counter-building. See More

Real freedom

You can do anything. literally anything. You can become a massive entrepreneur and deal with billions of ISK, set up a pirate base in wormhole space, explore anomalies, build massive ships, become CEO of a player-run industrial corporation. There's tons and tons and tons of stuff. This is likely the most sandboxy of MMO sandboxes. See More

Top Con

Requires lots of time invested

Because of the open market thing even going out on a quick mission may require you to gear up your ship first, which takes ages as you jump across multiple stations to get the two dozen different modules required to outfit your ship. EVE feels a lot like a second job sometimes. See More

KindAeolus's Experience

Game is becoming one dimensional

Top Con

Spreadsheets in space

At the very core, that's what it is. You'll be looking at tons of stats, calculating % resistances and DPS. It's a paradise for math savants and economics geeks, but not so much if you just want to blow things up quickly. The graphics are there, but combat takes place at a few kilometers at least, so you won't be ever seeing your ship and the enemys' at the same time (unless as tiny silhouettes). Which only enhances the feeling that combat is a set of dynamic spreadsheets rather than a real visceral thing. See More

Top Con

On the decline

The player number is about half of what it used to be and continues to decline. The game has been around for 10 years so it's hardly a surprise. See More

Very small world

The game does not offer much in the way of an open world to explore, instead there is a central city (that is on the smaller side) to explore, then the rest of the areas are pretty linear in their design. This does not make a good choice of game for those that like to explore large vast worlds. See More

Top Pro

Good amount of detail

Due to the game not having a huge open world but more of a main city hub, the city is able to have a lot of detail (since it is smaller than many MMOs). This detail, even though the game is a couple of years old hold up quite well and makes for a very immersive environment. See More

Massive environments that feel alive

The open-world environments in games usually have a lot of empty space, so you spend most of the time traveling without doing much else. Destiny 2 has large areas filled with enemies, world events, and activity in general, eliminating most of the downtime. Because of this it feels like you're actually visiting a planet inhabited/occupied by aliens, which considerably adds to the immersion. See More

Top Con

Content that was available at the start of the game ended up locked behind DLC

When the expansion Curse of Osiris was released, Bungie ended up preventing players without the expansion from being able to access the prestige versions of the first raid and nightfall strikes, as well as the PvP Iron Banner and Trials of the Nine. For the people who like to hunt achievements/trophies, this move effectively blocked them from earning them. Bungie has since patched things so players are not locked out of the prestige mode of the first raid, as well as nightfall strikes and Trials of the Nine when not using Curse of Osiris maps, making the achievements earnable again. Still, it was an extremely poor decision to lock player out of content they paid for and leaves the question as to will Bungie make another mistake with the next expansion. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mixed

Genre:First-Person Shooter, Multiplayer

Top Pro

Excellent co-op multiplayer

Even though Destiny 2 doesn't have strict class archetypes like most MMOs, each class/subclass has its role in a group setup. So whether you're capturing control points in a PVP match or fighting a tough boss in a raid, you still need to cover for each other's weaknesses. This can be providing support to surrounded teammates, taking the attention of groups of aliens or just picking off troublesome enemies from afar. Because of this you learn to rely on each other and working together feels rewarding. See More

Solid controls that don't detract from gameplay

Your character's movement, aiming your gun, and even driving your hoverbike feels really fluid and responsive. As a result, you can make very precise movements, jumps, and shots in any situation, allowing you to land a headshot with your sniper rifle from far away while strafing with ease. See More

The game is set in a living breathing world, in addition to the primary missions you will randomly encounter a variety of side missions you can do for additional experience and rewards. See More

Top Con

Buggy post release

The game has been buggy across all systems it was tested on. PC has had issues with loading to blank screens, as well as gamepad buttons that stop working mid game. While frustrating nothing has so far been game breaking. Of course ones components and graphic setting may allow for some to experience these bugs while others do not. There is also an issue where users can troll one another by blocking doors and access to NPCs that are necessary to progress as well as other odd graphical bugs such as this. Updates to the game seem to have solved some bugs while also creating others. There is also an unaddressed bug where people are unable to play the game due to a crafted backpack, which if used causes an issue where users are not able to get into the game anymore. See More

Class can be changed at any time

The class system for this game allows for the player to change class and perks at any time, meaning anyone can take on the role of their choosing at the drop of a hat.

Also looking at the ISAC map lets you see friends' locations and invite them to group. See More

Top Con

Poor enemy NPC chatter

The in game chatter of the enemy NPC is laughably bad. As you are shooting them one by one they constantly say the same things that are not really relevant to the situation such as calling you names or just simply stating that you should "get lost". This can be immersion breaking and asks the question what the devs were thinking when putting this type of chatter in the game in these situations. See More

Top Pro

Fun team shooter gameplay with RPG elements

The core gameplay for the division is a cover based third person team shooter, however over the course of the game you can customize your solider in a lot of different ways to keep things interesting. You can unlock various active skills to use during combat, passive perks that buff up your solider and talents that activate when you perform a certain action like getting a headshot. Although it starts simple, as you progress through the game you can then modify and upgrade a lot of the abilities to keep things interesting. On top of all this the loot and gear systems make it really fun to continually upgrade your solider. You have over 10 slots for various bits of gear that have a primary attribute that will improve either your DPS, health or how powerful your active ability are. Weapons also have multiple mod slots, so you can add on different scopes, silencers, grips etc that make meaningful changes to gameplay. See More

Pleasing graphics

While not up to par of the promotional material Ubisoft showed off a few years ago (not much of a surprise, this is Ubisoft after-all), the graphics are quite good and can easily be set on max setting with a smooth 60fps for those with good components in their computers. Even when using a mid range rig the graphics can easily be on high while getting above 30fps. In general what is present in the game is a winter city that is in a pre-opocolyptic crisis. The snow is randomized and can sweep in and out of the city at any time making for a beautiful representation of snow storms in a city. The city itself is pretty sparsely populated, which allows for less tax on the graphics, but of course the excuse is that it is basically an abandoned city other than the bad guys. There will be a few civilians in the streets but mainly you are alone out there until you run into trouble. See More

Top Con

Low level graphics (in comparison to E3 & early screenshots)

Top Pro

Great use of a cover system

The cover system in the game is quite intuitive. The player can easily crouch behind an object for cover (being that it is highlighted, so the player knows where they can cover) with one button press. Once in cover, any other area within a certain distance will highlight letting the player know they can run to the next spot for cover. This is done through a singular button press while being held down. This makes for an easy way to run from cover to cover with little effort. Which allows for flanking enemies and just an overly easy way to move around without taking too many bullets while in a fire fight. See More

Top Con

No early review copies given out

Usually there are embargo's on new games, meaning that a games review has a set date for when the review can be released. Often it is apparent if a game does not perform well as an embargo will be set for release day or after, meaning the developers and publishers do not want consumers to know how good or bad a game performs, which can potentially cut sales. The Division has no set embargo but had also not given out any early review copies, which means there were no pre-release reviews. While this does not necessarily mean the game will be bad in any way, it is usually best to wait for reviews in order to know if the game works properly. With no early review copies in the wild that means cautious consumers needed to wait a day or more till the reviews came in. See More

It's a great game to play. I love the fact that you can play solo (everything except "heroic" side quests). There are probably over 100 hours of free to play content. And ignore the person who said it isn't on Steam, it most certainly is, I play on Steam. See More

Top Pro

Companions in any role (4.0)

Companions can now fulfill any role: Tank, Healer, Damage. Also companions no longer use gear stats, and so do not require constant gear upgrades. Gear is only used for cosmetic changes now. See More

Can play solo

You can go through all the story content by yourself. You can join a guild, if you want, but you don't have to. You could literally play the entire story without having to talk to or fight another player. See More

The Secret World

No set classes - create your own

The only limiting choice is two weapon sets, all abilities and passives you unlock and selects as you see fit. also most abilities are viable and interplay with the others so it is easy to build a powerful character around specific gameplay you like. (Google Tokyo Drift build) See More

Many good reasons to explore the world

There are puzzles, platforming gauntlets, collectibles, rare mobs, and more to find in each zone. The zones are more than just "containers" for quests. See More

Top Con

Low playerbase

Currently low playerbase. Max level gear grind feels like a chore. See More

Top Pro

Rifts are fun

Rifts are small event-like things that spawn randomly throughout each non-city zone. You run into them, complete the objectives, and are rewarded. The exp is really good for lower-levels. There are also zone-wide events that are also very rewarding and involve multiple rifts. See More

Top Con

Unoptimized engine, low fps on powerful pc

The more people you have on the screen the worse the fps drop. The game engine can not handle it well. See More

Everquest

Top Pro

Offers a good bit of nostalgia

Everquest is quite an old game, and being so many people have played it at least a few times in its long history. This makes for a fun game to revisit to get back some of those feelings of many years ago. See More

Top Con

Content locked behind paywall

The free version of the game only has four classes available, those that pay money can get more, but for how old this game is it does appear to be a bit pricey in order to get what many other games offer for free. See More

CapablePicus's Experience

The video they use is from the ORIGINAL gameplay in 1999. The game has made much improvement... for me, the community has changed a bit, and the content is a bit less soloable now, which you can balance with a mercenary, but it is still a fantastic game 22 years later. See More

You aren't stuck in one story line

There is a certain level of story to it, but there was SO much to do, in the first 15 years I never had a need to worry about the story, I just did quests and hung out with people! See More

Top Con

Content is more difficult

When a single player, even with a mercenary. especially with the higher (80+ ) level areas... See More

Top Con

Dated

The graphics are heavily dated which detracts from immersion when not thinking about story line See More

ARK: Survival Evolved

Top Pro

Stunningly beautiful

The landscape, creatures, structures, even other players are all gorgeous. The textures are seamless, and the character/dinosaur models are just great. The environment ranges from lush green forests to snowcapped mountains, to incredible coastal views. When you combine all of these things, it adds up to being simply breathtaking. See More

Top Con

It won't run well on slower PCs

Ark is kind of a resource hog - it's not very well optimized and that can cause many players to experience slow graphics. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Action-Adventure, Survival

Top Pro

An absolutely fantastic community

The community of Ark is simply great. Whether you're talking about custom servers, the modding community, or just the player base in general, there are always people around to help out with any questions you might have. See More

Top Con

Beware of PVP

Alphas tribes can own servers and you’ll have no chance of survival in PVP servers. See More

Top Pro

You can share materials, dinosaurs, and structures by forming (or joining!) a tribe with your friends

Users can form a tribe with other online users to for a community. This community can now band together in order to build and grow as well as team up against other tribes. This makes for a fun experience with friends and other players as it requires teamwork in order to be successful. See More

Top Con

Corrupt lying developer studio

Only interested in emptying your wallet. Bans everyone who voices out dissatisfaction. Refuses to listen to community feedback, they shun and treat their players poorly while extremely rude and disrespectful. See More

Top Pro

Increased customization thanks to player-created servers

Ark has hundreds, if not thousands, of great custom servers. You can control things such as PvP, experience, gathering, and taming rates, set things up so there's no griefing (constantly bullying a player or group of players), and the difficulty of the creatures. See More

Top Con

No more Early access, still buggy

Ark has been fully released on August 2017, but bugs are still easily found and many areas of the game lack polish. See More

Top Pro

You can tame and mount nearly every creature in the game

From the small, quick raptor to the massive, vicious giganotosaurus, you can mount nearly any dinosaur in the game. There's huge, flying dinosaurs, aquatic dinosaurs, some that are like walking fortresses, and others that can take those down. See More

Top Con

The game can become a grind

At the higher levels, it begins to take a very, very long time to level up (unless you're playing on a custom server). This can make the game tedious to play for some people. See More

Top Pro

The game makes you want to explore, craft, and fight to make the most of its progressive crafting system

Ark is unlike many survival games in that you attain levels as you progress. As you level higher and higher, you gain access to more craftable items. Some are just more powerful versions of lower-tier items (such as leather armor vs. cloth armor), but most are brand new (such as firearms, scuba gear, and saddles for more powerful dinosaurs). This really drives you to explore more areas to find rarer resources and fight stronger dinosaurs. See More

Top Pro

Good character creation

When starting a new game the player is allowed to choose between a man or woman, from there is a plethora of options for making a character with a personalized look. See More

For example finding out how to and then sending a whisper to someone is so complicated that you will probably just ignore functions like that. See More

The missions can get boring over time. The more MMORPGs you have played, the sooner they will probably tire you. See More
