Many players on PS4 are looking forward to the release of Destiny 2, which is set to take place in September. Others are waiting for the launch of the Morrowind addon for The Elder Scrolls Online. However, the waiting time can be excellently bridged with the MMORPG Skyforge.
Skyforge is not a typical MMORPG and therefore appeals to a broader audience. You do not explore a vast, open game world, but rather complete missions in groups, which may take place in both large and small areas.
Team play is paramount to achieve the goals of the quests. You want to defeat the enemies together, take down the boss opponent, and stop the invasion of alien gods.
The fact that you can choose your hero’s class anew before each mission makes the entire game system in Skyforge flexible.
Is it a good alternative to Destiny?
While Skyforge offers little loot compared to Destiny, the motivation arises because you can continuously unlock new classes to try them out in quests. Furthermore, you want to become a god yourself, which grants you an extremely powerful god form and followers, increasing your influence even further.
The competitive gameplay results from other players pursuing the same goals as you. They also want to become powerful gods, leading to the Pantheon wars, where gods fight each other.
PvP generally plays an important role. Player-versus-player battles, however, take place outside the story and quests in special arenas and different modes like Capture the Flag or Team Deathmatch. This division into a PvE and PvP part makes both parts feel well thought out, coherent, and balanced.
The gameplay differs greatly from Destiny, you do not need to “aim” here; enemies are automatically targeted. Classes like the “Gunner” do have similarities to the Guardians in Destiny:

The PvP part is more geared towards those expecting more “sport,” while the PvE part is designed for players who enjoy having adventures together with friends.
The story of Skyforge is a matter of taste and may be a bit too shallow for some. However, even the story of Destiny did not resonate well with all players. Skyforge is definitely worth a look for PlayStation 4 owners. Is it perfect? No, there are definitely areas for improvement.
Can ESO players bridge the gap until Morrowind?
For those currently waiting for the Morrowind addon for The Elder Scrolls Online, it is worth taking a look at Skyforge. After all, it can be downloaded for free and offers a fairly fair free-to-play model.

The adventures in Skyforge are not as epic as the stories in ESO, but MMORPG fans will still get their money’s worth.
