It does its job as the spiritual successor of Zoo Tycoon, but it is also much more deeply into the creation of pretty zoos. There is a ton of tools and items for developing buildings, and for those that are learning or don't want to build stuff there is also a lot of premade items and the possibility of downloading buildings and habitats made by others.

The good:
-Elder Scrolls has an incredible lore, and I mean it. As a fan of worldbuilding, the amount of complexity and thought put on Elder Scrolls lore is astounding.
-ESO allows you to go to a lot of the places on Tamriel and also some places outside of it, and choose which one you want to go to at all times, allowing for you to learn about the lore of specific people and places at your own pace.
-ESO community is good and helpful and a lot of people are willing to lend you a hand at all times. I've met wonderful people there.
-ESO also gives you complete control on when do you want to participate in PvP, so you are safe to roam the world having a completely PvE experience if you want.
-The sense of humor is on point and I genuinely laugh at a lot of the content.
-Sun-In-Shadow is one of the best written characters I met and I hate her.
-If you choose to buy the ESO+ subscription, the amount of crowns you get with it cancels the cost of the subscription entirely (you get more coins with ESO+ monthly than you will get with the same money separately). It also unlocks all the DLC except for Elsweyr, and all the rewards that come with them, so if you can pay it, it is quite worth it for that alone.

The bad:
-ESO has a bad case of implementing things without testing them enough. Half of the live events broke something in the game when they go live, to the point that one of the latest ones had to be cancelled entirely.
-I didn't had that experience personally, but it seems that the customer support is quite bad.
-I am lucky that the ESO+ subscription is quite cheap where I live. If you want to be a crafter, ESO+ is almost mandatory.
-Elsweyr is... misleading. It is advertised as a chapter and an upgrade and it is quite expensive, but to be honest, besides the dragons (which is basically 99% of the selling points) I found other DLCs like Murkmire to be equally or more interesting.
-The system for selling items to other players is tortuous. If you want to become a merchant, you need to either advertise your items in the chat incessantly, or join a trader guild, list your items in the guild without a (built in) reference of how much you should sell them for, and pray your guild can afford a good stall so you can sell to users outside of the guild.

The Tetris Effect of this game is really a wild ride.

The universe of Fallen London expanded with the impecable storytelling that Failbetter Games always had.
Grab a pen and paper for playing it: This game will not guide you trought it constantly, and eventually you would want to remember how many muttersalt you had to get and where.
