New World Review

New World reviewed on PC by Gabriel Moss. Narration by Michael Swaim.

New World asks for the same quantity of time investment as any other traditional-style MMO, which means it desperately needs far, far more story content and gameplay variety to fill the gaps in its massive and visually gorgeous yet otherwise unremarkable world. The PVP endgame is where things start to get interesting, but the grind to get there is brain-numbing, the quests are hyper-repetitive, and the combat - while fun in the opening hours - just gets boring even after the first 50 hours spent hacking away. You and your friends can absolutely have some good adventures here, but it's conditional on your willingness to endlessly grind and harvest materials, as well as on the health of your server's community and its ongoing faction-driven rivalries. What's left in the absence of that is a candy-coated shell of an MMORPG that struggles to evolve past its opening. But hey, at least you can pet a dog.

You know its bad when even IGN can't give it their average of 7.

[zarakitube]

A 6/10 from IGN is a 2/10 for regular people

[xno]

Can’t believe this poor reviewer spent 170 hours playing this

"The grind is mind numbing" .. I'm prepared for this due to Runescape

[michaeljay]

You persuaded me not to buy it when you said the words "endless grind" and "endgame pvp is nice after the endless grind". Thank you for saving me from this game!

6/10 is VERY kind, considering that the economy is in flames and the game is crippled by an infestation of bugs. The review almost entirely glossed over that whole dumpster fire.

"Enemies often dodge and duck around you" Shows footage of literally every enemy standing still and attacking

Its like Amazon the company. Just gather as many resources as possible as quick as possible.

Considering unparalleled mmo launch state giving this game 6/10 is high praise.

"Really makes you feel like you are wasting your time for digital currency that can only be used in it's digital world, and the end game is particularly deadly especially if you have an RTX 3090, if you smell smoke, you're doing it right!" - 6/10 - IGN...

[CanHammer]

it's embarrassing that after all these decades of MMOs, what works and what doesn't work, we still get MMOs released with things like no mounts and no matchmaking system....

5:45 Ah finally true to life Amazon shopping experience now in your favourite medium of videogames.

0:48 *Gabriel's words* made me chuckle!! 😂🤣👍

Pack it up boys, we’re heading back to Final Fantasy 14

6/10 is fair for this game if you don't consider the bugs/glitches. Those alone should knock it down to a 3.

The fact that the review didn't even mention the game breaking exploits that allowed for infinite gold, invincibility, and crashing someone else's' computer seems sus to me.
The entire game is built on a system where other players can directly change the server world and other players game clients through simple exploits.
Whlie some of the specific ones have been patched out, the core system still remains present, making New World essentially just straight up malware, waiting for someone smart and evil enough to send more nefarious actions and code to your computer.

This review is like spraying perfume on a dumpster fire.

[SuperVegitoSSJ]

Thought that was a Warframe for a sec.

[brendonvanwingate]

"Nobody knows what a reasonable price even Is" - Well yeah its called a player-driven economy of course its chaos

[pubgman]

This game has gotten so much better it’s such a great game now
