World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Reviews
The first hour or so of the expansion provides a great introduction to the setting and story. The quests involve pushing through The Maw with the help of storied heroes from WoW's lore, with frequent cut-scenes and events which make for a surprisingly cinematic experience. WoW's expansions have been a little inconsistent in the strength of their stories, but I found this narrative and its characters to be compelling. Although The Maw is not the most aesthetically pleasing zone, perhaps by design, the overall introduction seemed like a very polished experience and demonstrates quite how far WoW has come in 16 years.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands breathes new life into an aging MMORPG with some fun new features and an excellent story.
Life is good when you're dead. Shadowlands is one of the best Warcraft expansions with its interesting characters and intersecting scenarios.

The latest expansion pack for the hit series World of Warcraft is just at the beginning of its journey, and is off to a strong start. The gameplay experience is still very fun and the amount of new content is insane. Only time will tell how successful this expansion pack will eventually be, but for now we can do nothing but to enjoy it.

World of Warcraft is already 15 years old, but you won't notice that playing Shadowlands. The new expansion offers interesting new customization options through the Covenants, the new areas look stunning and Torghast adds a new challenge for players. While there is more focus on the story, it does mean a much more linear experience however and the new antagonist, The Jailer, hasn't convinced us yet. Hopefully, that changes as Shadowlands gets new content updates, such as the upcoming raids.

This recent WOW expansion has everything it needs to stay within the MMORPG’s story: an epic story supported by a valid and varied campaign, that will lead us to explore many new settings, a new job and progression system, new factions and so much more. All of this, within the always magical frame provided by Blizzard. The result is a perfect circle all way around.

All in all, this expansion ended what was implemented with Legion, and effectively brought the game into modern times. Now it’s just up to Blizzard to keep momentum going.
All in all, WoW’s latest expansion has been a joy to play and experience. While not entirely alt friendly, strides have been made to at least make it easier to catch up should you wish to change classes once you have started the expansion.
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is one of the best games that MMORPG game seekers can find.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has expanded the worldbuilding to such a scale that every new dungeon or quest is a chance to explore lore new and old. At the end of the day, I can’t ask for more than that.
