World of Warcraft: The War Within retains the good quality and proven principles from the last expansion and still brings a few unique new features. However, it remains to be seen whether these will remain the same. At this point in time, it can be said that the game has apparently not become any worse, but on the contrary has even improved in some areas. For example, the crafting system has been further refined and there are numerous short dialogs from the protagonists that you can listen to between quests in the campaign. This makes the story a little more accessible. This is because it often feels like working through and is less inviting to be experienced and discovered. In this respect, the game lacks mystery and mystery. The campaign is sometimes told too obviously and there are not enough exciting twists and turns. Furthermore, the side quests are unfortunately still not set to music and we have no choice but to read the texts. This is a shame, because a soundtrack would be entirely appropriate and, in my opinion, would do a lot to help players experience a little more of the story. I think there are a lot of exciting stories in WoW, it's just the way they are told that could be improved overall.
