Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn

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. See More

KindheartedGleti's Experience

its just so hard to make an ID See More

Top Pro

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

Regularly updated

Every 4 months or so, Path of Exile has major updates, adding new interesting mechanics, skills, items, and various other content. As a result, every time you come back to Path of Exile after taking a break, it feels like a new game. See More

Top Pro

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.

Completely free without pay to win mechanics

You can just download and install the game without any purchases. On top of that, there are no pay-to-win mechanics and the only things locked behind paywalls are cosmetic effects, pets, and additional storage space. You can easily play the game for hundreds of hours without spending a dime. See More

As good or even better than Diablo

Top Pro

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

EVE Online

Top Pro

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

Played EVe for over 4 years. The devs consistently pushsed the PVP and turned folks interested in PVE into sheep for the PVP folks to prey upon. If you like joiing a gang and being a bully, go for it. Otherwise run away from this time sink See More

Up, down, left and right simply stop having a meaning when it comes to space. Making for a true space simulator in that the controls mimic how objects would behave in a real space environment. See More

Top Con

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

SophisticatedCliodhna's Experience

You have 2 bars that u switch back and forth that can lagout and hurts your dps so much and the magic classes do not fire off there skills and light attacks half the time. The 12 man trials can bug out and make u have to quit or start all over. If you are a dps on queue have fun waiting 3+ hours. Pvp is zerg or be zerged. 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 Con

Broken, basic stuff does not work, lag lag lag, ZOS just randomly change things all the time, worse developer.

InfluentialDamasen's Experience

Still good to play 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

Top Con

Glitching and unplayable due to persistent game loading problems.

SplendidMorrigan's Experience

Best mmo right now See More

Top Pro

Built on twenty years of game lore

Elder Scrolls games have always placed the world's unabashedly bizarre mythology in the forefront, and ESO is no exception. Between quest storylines, hundreds of in-game books, passing NPC dialog, and the landscape itself, ESO presents a world that feels bigger than the player, and can be incredibly immersive. See More

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

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

Dungeons & Dragons Online

Top Con

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

Absolute Cash-Grab and P2W

PVE/PVP, economy and crafting is extremely pet- and gearbased. Don't get tricked into initial content and depth. The whole game and also guild meta ultimately revolves around P2W - Gear over skill and tactics also means severe imbalance in endgame guild-pvp meta. Not a chance. See More

AmiableChalchiuhtotolin's Experience

PvP unbalanced

BDO is all about the Gear and you can buy a monster with RL cash and plenty of players do. One shot PvP is unsatisfying and while the game and mechanics are beautiful, it's a Korean grinding game and they want your cash! See More

You can lose experience, however, it will not go lower than 0% of your current level. See More

Top Con

Pay once to play (NA/EU) but free to play in (Asia)

Unlike the Korean version of the game, this game has to be bought in order to play. However, there are still many free to play elements in the game, which restricts player freedom. Such as the energy system which restricts continuous production in crafting. There are also other restriction such as blocking trade with another player. See More

SupportiveLukos's Experience

It's old now, but graphics are still tolerable, good stories, not too difficult to learn, can get repetitive and boring at times, can also keep you up all night trying to finish a quest.

Stream-lined leveling (4.0)

With game update 4.0, Knights of the Fallen Empire, and later, leveling has been streamlined to highlight quests that are relevant to your personal story, so it's easier to move forward rather than waste time on side quests. This includes on your Map, Minimap, quick travel and flight paths. See More

Destiny 2

Top Pro

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:Mostly Positive

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

Top Pro

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

Boring grinding system

After hitting level 14 - 15 most missions are either way to high or to low to go back to play. So you are stuck doing awfully boring side missions that become quite repetitive, most are Hostage Rescue or Zone Decontamination and require no effort. The next missions start around level 20, which seems to be a way to force players into the Dark Zone. See More

The player is free to choose any mission they would like to try, though some may be too tough depending on the player and mission skill level. 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

Top Pro

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. While this may cut down or replayability due to not having to play through multiple times to experience each class it does make for a great way to test out each one and their perks to land on one of the player's liking. See More

Top Con

Repetitive cover-based shooting

Literally the only mechanic in the game. There are no other true ways to avoid and attack enemies. See More

Top Pro

Great matchmaking

This game has made it very easy to group up with friends, nearby players, or random players looking for the same content. Grouping from the player menu is always available, and when you enter a mission you can choose to look for players to join you as well as set the difficulty. 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

Lots of fun to play with friends

The missions get hard fast, so the game forces you to co-ordinate with your team and ensure you have the right team composition to beat the more difficult missions. You'll have to keep track of the locations of all your team to make sure you're not getting flanked, be in position to rescue downed friends and let people know when you spot a sniper or a boss. 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

Top Con

Constant server downtime

Servers are always dropping connection and causing users to lose around 15 to 20 minutes progress. See More

Top Con

Awful AI system

AI will run all over the place and then stand in front of your turret for no reason. See More

Top Con

Cheaters running amok on PC

Many players complain about cheaters on PC as it is easy to game the system currently. The problem being that any user who modifies their local memory can then change what happens in the online game. An issue discovered by users in the public beta that Ubisoft promised to fix but never did. It fundamentally breaks the online component of the game as it is too easy for anyone to cheat. See More

No set classes - create your own

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

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

ARK: Survival Evolved

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

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

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Genre:Action-Adventure, Survival

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

Devs only care about money

Developers are closing official servers down in 2 days, but still selling the game. 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

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

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

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 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

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

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 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

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
