What kind of game is this? The Elder Scrolls Online places great importance on allowing you to have fun in the world of Tamriel alone and at every level. That’s why a dynamic system was introduced that theoretically allows you to even complete endgame dungeons at level 1.
ESO particularly excels with its unique storytelling and the setting of the game world. There are many iconic places that you already know from the “Elder Scrolls” games, as well as the well-known compass instead of a minimap.
What content does it offer? ESO has received multiple DLCs and a major chapter each year over the years. If you subscribe to the optional ESO Plus, you get access to all DLCs and most expansions. Last year, the MMORPG switched to a seasonal model. The latest season has just launched with a new paid model in April.
The Elder Scrolls Online offers you:
- regular updates
- a truly large game world
- fully voiced quests and engaging stories.
- Diverse dungeons
- Housing
- Server vs. Server PvP
- PvP arenas
What do the reviews on Steam say? ESO has a total of 132,827 reviews on Steam, of which 82 percent are positive. This is the highest number of reviews for an MMORPG in this ranking.
In the last 30 days, there have been 566 new reviews, 71 percent of which are positive. The current monetization model around the seasons and the Battle Pass, the solo-unfriendliness of the Night Market, and technical issues are being criticized.
How many players does it have on Steam? In the last 30 days, an average of 11,833 players played ESO on Steam. At peak, there were 20,320 players online simultaneously. The all-time high is 49,061 simultaneously active Steam players. A total of 26 million players are said to have played the MMORPG to date, with free-play events taking place regularly.
For whom is the MMORPG worthwhile? If you are a fan of The Elder Scrolls and enjoy exploring MMORPGs alone, you should definitely check out ESO. The game impresses with a good story, great graphics, a lot of content, and an action-packed combat system where you also need to block enemy attacks. Recently, there was a new dungeon DLC, a graphical modernization of the starting areas, and further improvements.
