Probably everything that can be said about this amazing game, has already been said. There are countless detailed reviews here on Steam , and everywhere else.
So my contribution is a simple one :
I am about 380 hours in when writing this .
Do I want to play another game anytime soon ? No way !
Apart from the in-between relaxing solitaire - absolutely No . No other game will have a chance for a long time yet.
This is a game I Love playing solo - and I Love playing with others !
And Love is the right word indeed !
If you are looking for an MMO that has everything, this is it.

Con : As a ( huge ! )negative, I have to add that the controls could have been easier and a made lot better ; Way too much button pushing with some characters.

Oh, that beautiful new avatar of yours , Ava !!! :dealstars:
I do like teamplay, but I enjoy mostly to play alone. That way I have no one to ruin my tempo, and no one I can ruin the gameplay for :WOFFlightning:

When ( and if ) I go on to play the DLC stories , I will probably write a new review, or add it to this on. :Sophia:

Like you, i loved the free roaming. After i stopped progress, i played for 100 hours more to enjoy the avatars, the fashion and to take many screenshots. :flstacy:
It's great that you enjoy teamplay, it could add 1000's more hours of fun.
Let us know about your journey Talana. :thronesship:

Thank you so much, dear Avadream, I really appreciate your view . Just shows people enjoys different playstyles :gs_joy:

To me 1000`s of hours in a game I like is tempting , lol ( already almost half way to my first 1000 :NeedCoffeine: )

Jumping puzzles - You can ignore them completely and do other quests.

I have finished the core campaign , and checked out some of the DLCs , and it seems playable to me. But I do not plan story progress before I have developed my character more.
When something is too difficult, I get some help for that - if I choose to do it at all.
That is what is the most amazing to me ; my choices to do what I like, in my tempo - and being really bad at some of it . And trust me, I am bad at
- saaay jumping puzzles .
If you see someone trying to reach a higher rock - over and over, falling, dying - while every other player runs happily to the treasure - that`s me :dotcrazy: .

....oh, and I love the fashion stuff :marietta:

So great that you love GW2 Talana. :ghsmile:

Playing and completing the core campaign as a solo player was fun.
The 4 reasons i stopped playing are:
-The game becomes one big 3D jumping puzzle (quest AND common gameplay).
-When comparing progress speed or being able to tackle content beyond the core campaign, solo play is punished to death.
-When you want to play all PvE-content, including crafting, you'll have to invest 1000's of hours.
-The main playerbase are veterans and you'll never be able to even come close to their league.
