The outstanding Necromancer class and an excellent helping of side missions in a beautiful world make The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr a great expansion even though its main storyline disappoints.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr feels good but also a step back from the previous expansions.

The Elder Scrolls Online Elsweyr is an expansion that adds many hours of content to the original game, but it doesn't mean a change in the experience and doesn't show many new features regarding what we have seen before.

Elsweyr is another great chapter for The Elder Scrolls Online. It doesn't include anything revolutionary, but with the new Necromancer and the Elsweyr map it's more than enough to keep ESO's fans entertained for more than a dozen hours.

After completing the storyline, there is a feeling of emptiness. There simply isn't enough content. All these statements about the "season of dragons" from advertising resemble profanation. Numerous technical mistakes of The Elder Scrolls Online - Elsweyr just pulls it to the bottom.

Struggles to do justice to what should be its show-stopper moments, but breathes much-needed life into the Khajiit and their homeland.Ali Jones

I thoroughly enjoyed questing through Elsweyr and while I wasn't looking to start a new class, I am happy I made the Necromancer, as she is certainly the second most fun character to play for me. The class is a blast to heal and DPS on, and I can't wait to get her into champion level. The addition of dragons was done perfectly, and brings a lot of fun to the game. The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr CE is currently on sale for $51.99.

The Elsweyr chapter expansion continues the year-long Season of the Dragon event for The Elder Scrolls Online. The developers have outdone themselves once more and somehow managed to make an already fantastic MMO all the more awesome. The expansion whisks players away to the homeland of the Khajiit. Players must face the dragon threat looming over Elsweyr, though you do not possess the power some players may be used to if they played Skyrim. You are not the Dragonborn, and these dragons are no laughing matter. Players may make use of the new class, the Necromancer, to aid themselves in the fight to save Elsewyr.

There is a lot to like about The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr. Returning players have a myriad of things to do, with existing players having just as much and a trial to look forward to. Even if the Necromancer class is not the straight pet class some players were hoping, it's fun in its own way and offers further variety during set up or push a more offensive line up. Toss in a fresh location and dragons to overcome and it's a nice step forward.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and its Khajiit-centric content is a solid new expansion for both new and veteran ESO players.

At this point the formula is beginning to show, but the sense of discovery still remains one of the game's most alluring aspects.

Elsweyr has a ton of content for everyone to enjoy, from sweeping landscapes, to delves, and lore scattered across the countryside.

Just like Elsweyr. If you’re still salty about not getting an online Skyrim; get over yourself. Elsweyr is great and if you don’t agree you’ve probably spent the last month with your face in a massive pile of moon sugar, like Tony Montana at the end of Scarface.

Elsweyr is another great, suggestive expansion of the main adventure, developed by Bethesda and ZeniMax.

If you ever wished you could play a necromancer, battle dragons and date a Khajiit, or, why not, all three, Elsweyr delivers on that and then some. Just don't give up because of the flavorless storyline.

Elder Scrolls Online Elsweyr is the best expansion for the MMO yet. The new zone is beautiful, the Necromancer class is excellent and the story is engaging. Although the story does take some notes from other popular media.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr does a great job of delivering a compelling new culture, has an engaging storyline, plus plenty of hours of content. The problem is that half of this content can be somewhat tedious to complete, even if the story they tell us is entertaining. The presence of dragons is not relevant enough and is the main claim of the game
