It has really grabbed me. For years I’ve been looking for a game that’s like a single player MMO and here it is (no, Kingdoms of Amalur is not the answer, sorry internet). No surprise I guess to find that in an MMO that was turned into a single player/co-op game after their publisher ditched them (Digital Extremes).
The combat is fun. There’s lots to grind for - weapons, armor, accessories, echoes, cosmetics, mounts, furnishings for your apartment. The art is quite reminiscent of World of Warcraft and also of Airship Syndicate’s other games like Ruined King (also a fantastic game) and Battlechasers: Nightwar. The music is quite background but at times reminded me of Jeremy Soul’s original Guild Wars 2 score.
The performance is not great. With some research I managed to get it to run at 90-110 FPS consistently in open world (with an RX9070 and i7-9700k). In dungeons it runs better. There’s still some UE5 stutters there when you enter new areas and at some random moments but overall it runs well enough.
It’s gotta be the best £3 I’ve spent in a long time! I’m 55 hours in and there’s still a whole zone that I haven’t gotten to yet.
I’m gonna check this out tomorrow as your description sounds interesting. I have been watching Erenshor as a single player MMO experience but havent actually tried it yet. You may want to have a look at that if you havent hears of it :)
