RuneScape: Dragonwilds is an ambitious project, with intriguing ideas and a potentially rich world. The visuals are clean, the fantasy setting is captivating, and there’s no shortage of concepts, from runic magic to co-op play, from special abilities to advanced crafting. But the execution falls short. The universal stamina system, excessive cooldowns, restrictive spell mechanics, and unbalanced co-op design make the experience feel more punishing than rewarding. As it stands, Dragonwilds seems tailored to a very specific audience: hardcore survival fans willing to endure structural issues in exchange for future potential. For everyone else, even long-time RuneScape lovers, this is a title worth keeping an eye on, but not quite ready to play.

RuneScape Dragonwilds has a very promising base game even this early on. Despite all of my issues I brought up I have honestly had a blast with it and I am impatiently waiting for updates so I can adventure even further with friends. I would say though that if the game is worth in its current form and asking price heavily will depend on if you like this genre. However, if you're unsure I would say wait a few updates before you deep dive into it yourself, but I can definitely recommend the game as is already.
