The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset Reviews
Summerset offers a good sized chunk of content, at a relatively fair and attractive price point. It may not be as grand as some of its competitor's expansions, but it is still one of the most enjoyable regions in the game. At the low upgrade price it's hard to feel shortchanged here.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is another easy expansion to recommend to existing players. It's stuffed with high quality quests, and the island itself makes for an inviting and enjoyable setting. Developer ZeniMax Online Studios has found a real consistency with its output, and the future continues to look bright for Tamriel.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a nice and varied addition with nice graphics, new features and good quests, but also with flaws, such as lack of optimization and simplified combat system.

Summerset in Elder Scrolls Online offers an all new area, but not much is new for long-term players of the game. The aesthetic of the isles has long been available in the core game, and while the additions of jewelry crafting, collectables, the Psijic Order, and the Cloudrest trial are all nice there just isn't anything that rises to the level of bringing back old dormant players nor introducing new ones. Dedicated players and those who play competitively will need to have this, however.
It's a great way to get involved in TESO, and even though there's not a lot of new stuff it's still worth giving it a go.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a good add-on, with a new realm, main quest and characters, but still not up to the Morrowind standard.

Where the spectacular scenery and sumptuous fashion of Summerset combines with prolific and narrative heavy quests to create an outstanding adventure, and a worthy inclusion in anyone's Tamriel wardrobe.
Fun by yourself and with others too, Summerset dosen't add much to the formula but will entertain for all of its thirty hours or so.

The Summerset expansion adds more interesting hours to TESO, offering a story that takes about 40 hours to finish with some side quests. The story may be the best in expansion. Psijic Order plays a big role in this expansion and lets you open a new skill tree with new time control skills, if you have not tried the game before then this is the time to try it out.

Mages, Psijics, foes from under the sea and Daedric Princes all make Summerset a place any Elder Scrolls enthusiast should visit. Come closer, five-claw.

The Elder Scrolls Online will never feel like a proper Elder Scrolls game for many people who flock to it, but while we wait for whatever comes after Skyrim, it's a damn fine way of passing the time.
For those who have been playing The Elder Scrolls Online consistently, Summerset is only a natural progression to continue with, but for people who have taken a break and are looking for an excuse to get back in the game or people who have been curious to start, this is a great place to resume or start an adventure.
Summerset makes an exemplary expansion for MMO game. It is a beautiful, vast and, what's most important, interesting DLC.

As it stands, I still believe this is a must for those that wish to have a bit more from the game, but those who do not already own Elder Scrolls Online would perhaps be more suited to wait for a sale or perhaps a friend or two to experience the game with.
Overall, Summerset is a wonderful expansion for fans of ESO and people looking to jump in.
There's still a significant player population in ESO, and if you're an Elder Scrolls fan, or just looking to get into a game you can play for a while, Summerset is a good fit for you.
The generically beautiful Summerset is on the smaller side in terms of overall new additions to The Elder Scrolls Online, but even after completing the majority of the side quests and all of the main storyline I feel compelled to go back. The storytelling continues to improve on last year's excellent Morrowind expansion, with Zenimax Online not shying away from some of the darkest sides of Tamriel. While the Psijic Order quest line has its boring bits, the down-to-earth, human story makes putting up with the repetitive quests worth the hassle. The new jewelry crafting profession, on the other hand, is far too time-consuming to be practical without spending money at the Crown Shop.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a great expansion to the core experience that adds a vibrant and exciting new landmass to explore.
Elder Scrolls Online has always had a superior questing system than most other MMO’s.
