Really happy with how this game turned out. I was worried it might feel bland or cliche, but it wasn't and I had great time throughout.

Nah ♥♥♥♥ Sony and ♥♥♥♥ the devs

Really fun. A few minor bugs to iron out, but the gameplay itself seems fine.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good game aye

Don't let the 3.5hrs fool you, I've played this game for 2.5K+ hours, and I must say it is one hell of a grind. OSRS has survived for so long because it is loaded with plenty of content and a team behind it that cares for the game and community. I've never seen game devs as vocal and engaged with the community as the team behind OSRS.

As for gameplay, as mentioned before it is one hell of a grind, but it's up to you how you want to play.

Do you want to focus on PvP? Make a build dedicated towards it and test your skills against others.

Do you want to challenge mechanically driven encounters and activities? Work your way towards being able to verse bosses and even raid with friends.

Do you want to test your sanity and autism? Keep doing the same action for hours and max out those skills!

Pros:
So much content.
Long lasting game that'll take years to complete.
Play how you want to play.
Can buy a GF.

Cons:
Skilling is extremely repetitive and depending on the skill they can take forever to progress in.
Some activities require friends to fully enjoy/experience.
Vanilla client.

Game finished when it felt like it was just beginning. Poor PC port, story was a mess, graphics and environment were terrible, fighting mechanics didn't feel rewarding or fluid. Only good thing of note was the character designs and music.
