Why do I have to agree to a new EULA for something already paid for? Retroactive BS.

Fantastic gameplay loop of deploy, mine and fight, extract. Simple, yet phenomenal.
Love the multiplayer experience far more than the single player, and have so much fun in this game with friends.
Would love for another one or two playable character styles, and larger group support in all honestly.
Thankfully they support modding, and many mods can be played without losing 'game progress' which is wonderful.
The devs also are fantastic when it comes to supporting the game, maintaining high quality and fun.
SOOO recommended.

Fantastic addition to the series, new mechanics and gameplay features, improvements on game systems, cool quests, and highly moddable. Only problem is saves and mods keep breaking with every update.

More:
Love the new mechanics like building, better FPS experience, more creatures, more complex NPC behaviors.
Adore the continued ability to mod Bethesda games. That make any game last even longer, near infinite. Heck yeah.
Visuals are pretty great, and can be improved with mods.
Biggest problem I have is Bethesda keeps releasing garbage updates at least once a year, which breaks game saves, and mods, and therefore actively damages my enjoyment of the game, and the heritage of the modding community. Hate that.

Over a hundred hours of fun. This game is so much fun, great to play with friends, really cool combat and environments to explore, awesome story, grand humor. Really like this series, and so glad to play it with friends who also let me actually read the quest text for the story.

TLDR: Yes, recommended. I love the Elder Scrolls franchise, and the relatability of this game to those who have played any of the single player games. For me personally, the Morrowind content is much loved. I enjoy the gameplay mechanics with the exclusion of crafting for actual competitive play, and am in love with the beautiful environments to explore, the ever-growing lore, and near-unending quest lines.

Story: I love exploring the different factions' quest lines, motivations, and perspectives. And in all the years and hundreds of hours of playing, have never run out of things to do.

Content: Unique solo quests, community world bosses, group dungeoning, guild raids, and things in between. Plenty to keep us entertained! Though Combat is the primary focus as is common with MMOs. I enjoy the combat and variety available, and my only complaint is the Double Hotbar swap thing that caters to console players and the inherent limitations of their controllers. Having those same limitations carry over to computer play is infuriating. Thankfully on computer it still works better than on console (works fine on console still) and the ability to add plugins for enhancing the user experience on computer is wonderful.

Visuals and Sounds: Lovely music, both old from other games in the franchise, and new, brings an enjoyable atmosphere. The sound effects and audio in general is well done, making the game feel enjoyable and immersive, and the audio work for characters is well done. I am very glad to have an MMO where the dialogue is voiced, not just text. As for visuals, I find the game to be gorgeous, and appreciate a more photo-realistic style of game to immerse myself in. Many times I am exploring a region for the unique landscape and views more than anything.

Singleplayer: Singleplayer is enjoyable and doable. The addition of companions made it even better. I very often quest solo to explore the stories and lore at my own pace.

Multiplayer: Up to 12 people in the overworld, up to 4 for dungeons, and I forget what for Trials (raids). I have greatly enjoyed exploring Zones with a group of friends as we help each other enjoy all a region has to offer. And having the classical group roles works well for this game. One decade-long complaint I have is inadequate support for Guilds and Socializing. Please add more meaning to having Guilds such as true guild bases.

Monetization: The cost vs content for the expansions is well worth it, and I hold the same opinion for the content-based DLCs. I am an opponent to Loot Boxes and the gambling nature of them. The Crown Store overall is fine by me, except for the stuff that are severe quality of life enhancements like the Banker, Merchant, and Deconstructor. Those are both expensive and can greatly improve quality of life. Things like Mundus stones and most Crown Store stuff in general is crazy expensive for what it is. I get offering actual content like new houses for money, but damn, the prices are above what I can mark as ok.

Only played for 2 hours so far, and LOVING IT. Getting to use the Remote Play Together support through Steam to play with a friend who loved the first game so much that I gifted them this one, plus getting it myself.

Playing the game with another person has been super duper fun, and we love the puns and humor and playstyle and everything. Really cool to pay this cooperatively. I like Normal mode, and they prefer Story mode.

I am so excited to play more with them.

Pros:
-Pawsitively Purrfect Puns
-Lovely and cute art style
-Interesting enemies to fight
-Different playstyle options depending on preferred weapons and spells
-Cooperative play, either couch coop or Remote Play Together

Cons:
-Remote play together does not support both users using their keyboard and mouse. One has to use a controller. I thankfully have a Steam controller on hand fur just such a case though.

Until the Sony stuff is figured out, no, not recommended.
They have betrayed Super Earth.

Until Super Earth is free once more, I suggest all steer clear lest they too be felled by Sony's uncaring and foolish actions and whims.

EDIT: Arrowhead Games made an incredibly fun game, with great mechanics and gameplay, tons of fun and well done content, a cool premise and universe, etc. Just an overall great game. My compliments to them. I am saddened that the only flaw is Sony itself being a problem.

This remains my favorite game of all time. It received proper support from Bethesda when released and as it went through its expansions. Is a true RPG where your stats and character build are what matter, so its not a first person shooter/hack and slash like Skyrim (I do love Skyrim.)

The modding community has always been an absolute power house, and with collections like Path of the Incarnate, it is easy to spend hundreds of hours playing this. Between original disk and no tracking, XFire when that was a thing, and now Steam, as well as side launchers, I have racked up at least 6000 hours in this game.

And with projects like OpenMW and TES3MP (multi player) the opportunities only ever get better.

Yes, it is clear it came out in 2002, but the mods and enhancements the community has made keep it my favorite game to go back to and experience new stuff every time. LOVE IT.

The gameplay itself is a ton of fun. Really satisfying regardless of focusing on ranged or melee. Melee honestly feels glorious.
Primary appeal beyond it being a solid shooter is that it is a legitimately fun Warhammer game (unlike all the trash mobile games they have)

The cost of the premium shop cosmetics is insane. Unless you are a whale or horrible with money, don't even bother looking there.

The crafting system is absolute garbage. Just horrible. Makes no sense, randomized, confusing. Just removes any meaningful progression desire in that area. They could learn a thing from Helldivers honestly. (the actual skill tree on the other hand is pretty great in my opinion, and lets me cater to my prefered playstyles very well)

Ammo pickups need to be shared, as some players fire two shots, then pick up the next ammo crate, and do that over an over, depriving the rest of ammo.

Love how satisfying this horde shooter is, and even with it's grindy nature, I find it a fun one to hop onto a couple times a week to enjoy. Hopefully it gets more content expansion with different missions types to keep playing worth while.

Oh, last note. The cutscene and other screnes trying to full play every boot up, and the full boot up and entry to the game take WAY TOO DAMN LONG. It should not take 15 to 30 minutes to actually get into the game itself and be playing.

Was a ton of fun! Really enjoyable game play. Limited number of abilities and controls to keep track of, yet plenty of ways to implement them all. Variable solutions to enemy fights. More than enough upgrades to make some of the harder zones manageable. My only complain was how hard it was to find specific areas without a map, but after finding one online, I had no problems getting 100% Steam achievements. Loved the game, and already have gotten others to try it out. (have not even played the holiday event yet!)
