What players say

79% of 2,948 reviews are positive · 68% of 19 in the last 30 days

Players praise the large quest selection, broad class and race choices, and detailed housing and crafting systems. The most common complaint is aggressive monetization, with players reporting abilities and progression systems restricted by payments. Some also dislike the store page that opens after quitting.
