It can be slightly rough around the edges at times, but New World has been an awesome new MMO to dive into with friends. The rough parts are limited mostly to UI bugs that pop up now and then and some QoL stuff that didn't seem to make the cut for launch. It probably could have done with another month or two before release. That said, the crafting and pvp are immensely fun. The way the map can change from day to day depending on player led companies assaulting one zone or another keeps things interesting. Always a little drama, but that's to be expected in this type of sandbox pvp game. If you are solely a pve player looking for story....I'd probably not recommend it for now. It's there, but it mostly has to be consumed by reading hundreds of in game documents you can find around the world. The dungeons and pve content there is are fun, but it is clearly a game world designed around pvp mechanics and crafting.
