Critic Reviews for World of Warcraft: The War Within
The War Within is the best World of Warcraft has been on all fronts in many years, making this two-decade-old MMO feel fresh and thrilling again.
World of Warcraft: The War Within is a huge step up for storyelling in the 20-year-old MMO, but the daily grind threatens to suck the joy out of it.
It’s also the most welcoming a WoW expansion has ever been before. This is the start of a new story - one steeped in the long history of WoW to be sure, but one that makes a huge effort to catch new players up. Its brisk story supports new players too by asking for a small investment upfront and giving them ample opportunity to constantly re-invest. If you’re just starting out or returning without the safety net of your old clan, it’s easier than ever to be a solo player and not feel left behind. There’s so much consideration towards renewing WoW, rather than becoming further entrenched in the wants and whims of the most hardcore players. I imagine these weren’t easy choices to make, but I can see the long game that begins here in The War Within, and I’m more excited than ever for the journey ahead.
Wisely rides Dragonflight's headwinds for a strong, confident kick off to the Worldsoul Saga
Major progression changes, a standout new zone, and the ability to play solo make WoW's 10th expansion one of its best.
A good starting point for something bigger, a reliable and more welcoming expansion than ever, but certainly not innovative.

On the verge of World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary, Blizzard appears to have pulled off a tentative return to form for this historic game
The War Within isn't a groundbreaking, surprising, or original expansion, but it's a good jumping-off point for something bigger. It uses subtle improvements to smooth out and tighten up World of Warcraft's traditional gameplay in all the right places, gently evolving it and making it feel more familiar and welcoming than ever, for veterans and newcomers alike.
