World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Reviews
Battle for Azeroth, despite the endless grind, has been an exciting expansion this far. However, raids and additional content are what makes the game great. Blizzard has made the entry level into the new expansion welcoming for new players and some die-hard critics have shared their concerns with the current direction Blizzard are going with making the gaming "easier."
While World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth hasn't been my favorite expansion in the franchise, it brought with it some great new dungeons, fantastic new raid encounters, an excellent new story, and gorgeous scenery. I have hope that what is lacking, or "not working as intended" will be adjusted over time. My love for the game, and the thriving community I have built within it are what keep me logging in week after week.
World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth delivers the best storytelling and world design yet, but doesn't make any additional significant improvements to the World of Warcraft formula.
In World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth the pending apocalypse may not be canceled, but it's temporarily tabled
Battle for Azeroth plays it safe, but that's ultimately its advantage. The true war will come and I'll be waiting impatiently. This expansion has a ton of potential that is still to be realized. And I'm sure Blizzard will do just that.

Battle for Azeroth doesn't bring much else in terms of brand new content.
Battle for Azeroth is off to a solid start, but Blizzard has a lot to improve if they want to win the war.
Battle for Azeroth may feel a bit safe in places, and a little bland in others – but the exciting elements are by far enough to overshadow these minor gripes
All in all, Battle For Azeroth is in all things a true expansion to Warcraft; it is a continuation, a plateau for the game to simply continue existing.
Battle for Azeroth it's a huge and entertaining expansion, which relies on combat, PvE, PvP, and character development. Hovewer, best is yet to come.

As the millions of people still streaming into the game show, if Blizzard sees Battle for Azeroth as a struggle to keep our hearts and interest, it's clearly already won.
Unless Blizzard has some real story shake-ups and a phenomenally tuned raid on the horizon, I'm honestly expecting the sharpest player decrease to set in within the next few months. The expansion itself has some interesting ideas, but sticking to a World Quest grindfest is quickly becoming the norm, and the Island Expeditions aren't exactly exciting.
In the end, Battle for Azeroth makes some great improvements in the levelling experience, but faults in its class design and the less rewarding Azerite system mean that overall, it takes too many steps back from Legion.
Battle for Azeroth is another try of Blizzard to keeep World of Warcraft players online. And it is not bad at all.

To be repetitive or not to be. If like the writer of this review you are one of the people who only experienced World of Warcraft: Legion for a short time or skipped it entirely then World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is an amazing experience and you will surely enjoy the smallest of the details, but if you had enough of your share of Legion and want something more then Battle for Azeroth can disappoint you.

And for those sitting on the fence about whether or not to jump into the action again, there's only one thing I can say: Battle for Azeroth is the perfect opportunity to come back to World of Warcraft. I have to give the folks at Blizzard credit for pouring their hearts and souls into the game once again, it definitely shows.
There is just so much to do, with more content being added regularly I think that Battle for Azeroth has me firmly in its grasp.
While War of Thorns left a bad taste for many, the expansion proper has been a delight. Some quests have questionable writing and the tropes from previous expansions rear their heads in places, but the dungeon and levelling experience is great. Depending on where the story goes, this expansion could end up near the top.
Battle for Azeroth launches strong by renewing the conflict between the Horde and Alliance. Blizzard offers two very different experiences this expansion with each faction having their own storyline on unique island nations. It's an enjoyable expansion during the leveling experience, but endgame currently has some issues with sparse weapon drops and clutter stemming from the new Azerite gear system. There are improvements to be made here, but what's available at launch is still very good.
