Place 5: EVE Online
The space MMO EVE Online is characterized by high complexity and a focus on the social aspects of an MMORPG. The universe here is a sandbox where players can play by their own rules. They trade with each other, form gigantic alliances, rule over sectors, and wage wars. The occasional intrigue is also involved. It’s a crazy, player-driven, fantastic world for those who want to engage in such a social experiment. With 85% positive user ratings, EVE makes it into the top 5.

Place 4: War Thunder
If you like tanks and various war vehicles, then War Thunder is your revelation. Players fight against each other on large battlefields in tanks, planes, and whatever else rolled through the Second World War on metal and tracks. Particularly nice is the crossplay feature, which allows PC players to compete against other opponents on PlayStation 4, to show once again whether gamepad or keyboard has the edge. In any case, the game offers a lot of action and numerous vehicles that provide long-lasting fun. This view is also shared by many players – 85% positive ratings ensure that War Thunder is our number 4.

Place 3: The Secret World
In 3rd place, with over 85% positive ratings, is the extraordinary MMORPG “The Secret World“. Unlike many representatives of the genre, TSW takes place in our modern world – or rather a hidden world behind it. Here, all conspiracy theories are true, and what one couldn’t have imagined in the worst nightmares comes to life. Players can join three different secret societies and experience an MMO that breaks some traditions. For example, there’s no classic leveling and class system, but players can assemble their own character from multiple abilities.

Place 2: Final Fantasy 14: Heavensward
Square Enix secures the 2nd place in this race, as Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward has received a total of 88% positive ratings. Especially the title expansion has brought the game back into the focus of many players. The world of Eorzea drips with what fans of the Final Fantasy series so love in the offline titles. The typical fantasy setting with powerful summons, lovable characters, and incredible attention to detail make FF14 one of the most successful current MMOs.
