The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr does a great job of delivering a compelling new culture, has an engaging storyline, plus plenty of hours of content. The problem is that half of this content can be somewhat tedious to complete, even if the story they tell us is entertaining. The presence of dragons is not relevant enough and is the main claim of the game

You will surely enjoy it if you are an ESO fan. The new class necromancer and dragon will keep you busy for a while.

I thoroughly enjoyed questing through Elsweyr and while I wasn't looking to start a new class, I am happy I made the Necromancer, as she is certainly the second most fun character to play for me. The class is a blast to heal and DPS on, and I can't wait to get her into champion level. The addition of dragons was done perfectly, and brings a lot of fun to the game. The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr CE is currently on sale for $51.99.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr follows the good path taken by its previous expansions, Morrowind and Summerset, perhaps one step behind them, but more for reasons of geographical design that is less striking and more repetitive, than for content, which has It was a success with its necromancer class, its possibility of being an initial zone, and especially the dragons, which were highly demanded by the players.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr feels good but also a step back from the previous expansions.

At this point the formula is beginning to show, but the sense of discovery still remains one of the game's most alluring aspects.

After completing the storyline, there is a feeling of emptiness. There simply isn't enough content. All these statements about the "season of dragons" from advertising resemble profanation. Numerous technical mistakes of The Elder Scrolls Online - Elsweyr just pulls it to the bottom.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr is a curated expansion capable of exploring the culture and customs of the Khajiit people, one of the most interesting races in the world of The Elder Scrolls.

I have a love/hate relationship with RPGs, I’m a huge procrastinator so I really lose myself in these types of games, often being distracted from the main quest, by side quests, exploration and collections. The amount of quests and things to do with just the base game/chapters is in my opinion great value for money and with the option to subscribe to ESO Plus for £8.99 a month, giving you access to all of the current dlcs and access to a (I feel essential) handy crafting pack with unlimited space for crafting materials. This is a game with the potential to sink many hours into, with much more to come. As a new player, I find it hard to find much I don’t like with the game, except possibly that it’s too big?! and award it the Thumb Culture Gold Award!

The Elder Scrolls Elsweyr comes with an solid story about dragons and the cat-like Khajiit. It also convinces with its intense atmosphere and a diversified setting with forests, hills and hidden temples. The new necromancer-class completes the expansion, that should make every ESO-fan very happy.

Just like any expansion or any MMO, you’re going to want to go into The Elder Scrolls: Elsweyr expecting only the best. Truth is, this is an amazing expansion and its story involving the Necromancers themselves is quite a unique experience, one I’d not really been hoping to have when I first dove straight on in with a Necromancer myself.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr and its Khajiit-centric content is a solid new expansion for both new and veteran ESO players.

Elsweyr is another great chapter for The Elder Scrolls Online. It doesn't include anything revolutionary, but with the new Necromancer and the Elsweyr map it's more than enough to keep ESO's fans entertained for more than a dozen hours.

The Elder Scrolls Online Elsweyr is an expansion that adds many hours of content to the original game, but it doesn't mean a change in the experience and doesn't show many new features regarding what we have seen before.

There is a lot to like about The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr. Returning players have a myriad of things to do, with existing players having just as much and a trial to look forward to. Even if the Necromancer class is not the straight pet class some players were hoping, it's fun in its own way and offers further variety during set up or push a more offensive line up. Toss in a fresh location and dragons to overcome and it's a nice step forward.

Elsweyr has a ton of content for everyone to enjoy, from sweeping landscapes, to delves, and lore scattered across the countryside.

If you ever wished you could play a necromancer, battle dragons and date a Khajiit, or, why not, all three, Elsweyr delivers on that and then some. Just don't give up because of the flavorless storyline.

The outstanding Necromancer class and an excellent helping of side missions in a beautiful world make The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr a great expansion even though its main storyline disappoints.
