Gameplay

49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The questline is okay, the gameplay feels good, and the weapons are pretty cool.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat feels tight and skill-based/// no lock-on targeting, just clean free aim.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Wars for city control are chaotic but amazing when your side wins, and PvP zones with great loot keep everyone battling.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Quests finally feel meaningful and story-driven.. it’s almost like a whole new game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, the game looks great – especially for an MMO, which isn’t usually a genre known for its visuals.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design and music are solid too, though to be fair, I usually have the game’s volume turned down while watching something else in the background, so I can’t say I’ve experienced much of it in full.
