World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Reviews
After a less than impressive beta, 'World of Warcraft' wins us over with Warlords of Draenor's' engrossing orc-centric story.
Although World of Warcraft has had its ups and downs during its ten-year lifecycle, dynamic expansions like this might be enough to ensure it lasts another decade.
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor is a fun, content-laden expansion that makes a number of changes to the WoW dynamic, even if a lot of them may not pan out well for veterans and some features feel slightly underwhelming. Regardless of how you feel about MMOs, it's worth your time and money - just be prepared to get lost in Azeroth's many twists and turns.
Now is a great time to jump in for new players, but established players will quickly tire of grinding the same content.
By far the best-looking World of Warcraft expansion yet, and it's filled with quality content. However, the character and stat overhaul has left the gameplay feeling a little too simple and rote.
Ten years after its launch, Blizzard wants to reassure potential adventurers that they don't have to have been a part of World Of Warcraft's past to join the fight to save its future.
Ultimately, I have hugely enjoyed my time with it so far. Occasional bugs aside, Blizzard are terribly good at this by now. The mood in my guild has been buoyant, and while a ten-year-old MMO is not the most accessible prospect for a brand new player, significant efforts have been made to make it somewhere that everyone can join, enjoy and call home.
