The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a nice way to experience a large part of the world of Tamriel, familiar from the single player Elder Scrolls games, in a MMORPG format. It's great to get to explore areas seen in those games and new ones, and find characters and bits of lore connecting to them. Graphically the age of the game shows somewhat but there are still many beautifully designed areas. ESO has full voice acting for all characters, even smaller roles, which is very nice. The music is also enjoyable including various fun bard songs in taverns that comment on the world events and characters.

ESO has a very large amount of story quests, group dungeons, and PVP modes including team matches and large PVP areas of Cyrodiil and the Imperial City. Getting competitive in PVP modes takes learning, and benefits from a carefully designed gear set, but I have enjoyed especially the battlegrounds team matches even as a newbie. There are many collectible elements in terms of clothing/armor and house furnishings. The community is good with a large variety of guilds with their own discords for activities. The base game already has a lot of content, and expansions add even more. I have not paid for a monthly ESO+ subscription and have managed well without it (there are occasional free ESO+ trial periods if one wants to try it out, I tried one of them but did not continue as a paid subscriber after the trial).

Overall ESO is a good MMORPG that is extra attractive if you are interested in the lore of Tamriel from the single player games. Well worth trying out.

Note: I marked this as "product received for free" because I received the game free from Alienware Arena, but I have no affiliation with the developer or publisher of the game.
