Landmark, the spinoff of Everquest and planned predecessor to the now-canceled Everquest Next, has quietly launched on Steam – and apparently not a big success.
Without much announcement, Landmark was released on Steam on June 10, but there can be no talk of a successful launch. More than 2,000 players have already submitted reviews, and two thirds of them are negative. Many players see little point in Landmark, which was intended as a sandbox and testing ground for Everquest: Next.

Since Everquest: Next has now been officially canceled, Landmark is for many disappointed fans just a half-baked thing that no one needs anymore. Others go even further and accuse developer Daybreak of only wanting to make money and cheat players. Because if Landmark had also been canceled – as the disappointed fans argue – the developers would have had to refund the money to the many pre-orderers and supporters. Now that the game is officially on the market, this claim likely no longer exists.
The fact that Landmark was launched against the WoW movie and E3 with almost no “hype” seems to give the critics a point.
Meanwhile, the relatively few supporters of the game are exchanging insults with the critics and not holding back with their comments. But what do you think? Is Landmark an unjustly criticized game, which is struggling because Everquest Next went down the drain? Or do you side with the angry critics on Steam, who call the game a huge fail and a scam? Let us know in the comments!
