Setting: Fantasy | Developer: Zenimax Online | Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: April 4, 2014 | Model: Buy2Play | Steam Rating: 82% Positive
What kind of game is this? The Elder Scrolls Online emphasizes that you can enjoy the world of Tamriel alone and with any level. That’s why a dynamic system was introduced that theoretically allows you to complete endgame dungeons even at level 1.
ESO particularly impresses with its unique story and game world setting. There are many iconic locations that you may already recognize from the “Elder Scrolls” games, as well as the well-known compass instead of a minimap.
What content does it offer? ESO has received several DLCs and a major chapter annually over the years. Those who subscribe to the optional ESO Plus membership gain access to all DLCs and most expansions. Last year, the MMORPG transitioned to a seasonal model. The current Season 1 just started in July.
The Elder Scrolls Online offers you:
- regular updates
- a truly large game world
- fully voiced quests and exciting stories.
- varied dungeons
- housing
- server versus server PvP
- PvP battlegrounds
Unfortunately, the future of ESO is uncertain following the purge at developer Zenimax by Microsoft. Many of the passionate lead developers who shaped the MMORPG over more than a decade are gone. The remaining team will have to reassess the plans for the future.
What do the reviews say on Steam? ESO has a total of 134,369 ratings on Steam, of which 82 percent are positive. This is the highest number of ratings for an MMORPG on Steam in this ranking.
In the last 30 days, there have been 403 new ratings, of which 76 percent are positive. Criticisms include the current monetization model surrounding the seasons and the Battle Pass, technical issues, and the uneven experience in battles and PvP.
How many players does it have on Steam? In the last 30 days, an average of 8,568 players played ESO on Steam. At peak, there were 15,009 players online at the same time. The all-time high stands at 49,061 concurrently active Steam players. Overall, it is said that 26 million players have played the MMORPG so far, with regular free play events.
Who is the MMORPG worth it for? Anyone who is a fan of The Elder Scrolls and enjoys wandering through MMORPGs alone should definitely check out ESO. The game impresses with a good story, pretty graphics, many contents, and an action-packed combat system in which you also have to block enemy attacks.
