Was positively surprised how enjoyable the game is, expected it to be a flop similar to "new world" and other asian mmo, regarding this review, i might add more details later

+ Gearing isn't punishable with rng mechanics, you do need to grind for replicas to increase trait level but it feels good that you can not just only mix any type of pieces together but also not be punished like BDO with rng shenanigans and just feed it mats to enhance it to max
+ It gets more in depth as further you get in levels and gear. Weapon mastery, Skill levels, Skill specialization, be a evasion tank or a glass cannon regardless of weapon class combos, gear acquisition
+ Performance when surrounded by hundreds of players is good, SEAMLESS! fast travel teleportation
(No seriously no loading screen, "wut")
+ Graphics for UE game is stunning, cinematics are a bit comedic on facial animations side but did made the story enjoyable
+ Soundtrack and ambiance reflects the scenery, nice
+ Well designed group and solo content, as well as PVP integration to night time for open dungeons
+ Open dungeons having multiple floors adding scale on how massive the game can get
(tho for exploration i hope they add more options like collectibles and interaction in open dungeons as its a grind area for mobs mainly, it feels good to do as a group)
+ Guild system that feels rewarding
+ Dynamic events that make the game feel more alive, and the scale of participation
+ While game is similar to GW2 and Newworld, your skills dont require you to always switch weapon
+ Fishing has neat minigame
+ You can dissolve/dismantle almost anything you get
+ Battle pass and Leveling pass feels rewarding and due to next point is rather F2P friendly
+ Auction house lets you stockpile on premium currency
+

- Auction house lets you stockpile on premium currency
- Auction house is laggy as hell at the moment
- Gameplay and targeting feels a bit clunky
- Default controls/binds are atrocious, you are required to change them to have better experience (good blueprint for binds would be GW2 or New World)
- Lacking lifeskill professions, just cooking and fishing, expeditions are just a minigame
- Some cooking ingredients are a pain to gather/farm, "WHERE IS THE SALT" forcing you to spend battle pass currency for it
- Morphs lacking special interactions like morph only skills
-

What a experience, they truly outdone themselves. just incredible!

Honestly only playing for the story... great replay ability - every class has its own unique story.
Where your choices affect the progression of the campaign in some way. Wish more games did this

Music for battles are great.

Cool combat, fun if you intend to play time to time

I had high expectations for the Shadowbringers expansion due to the media, but what I have experienced cant be described with words. The story, battle changes, zones, music, everything they did.
Its just a beautiful masterpiece which must be experienced with your own eyes.

Anyone that want to enjoy a MMORPG that truly feels like one, has to try this game.

Only thing I'd say the game has a CON so far:
Are "1-45/49 leveling" progression:
-Its unchallenging, slow paced, grindy at times and overly repetitive with quest design,
-Story is shared only by small parts and plot points that will matter later.
-The game in early leveling will feel like a prolonged tutorial

But rejoice, you have to play trough that part of the leveling only once, and boy how rewarded you will be for enduring and being patient. That any other MMORPG will seem like a cheap joke...
